WEEKLY CHATTER – 9^th JUNE 2024

A warm welcome from a cold drizzly Melbourne.

Thanks go to all the host families and guests for a great Guess Who’s Coming to Lunch last Sunday, I’m sure you all enjoyed your day whatever your role was. There was a great result of $980.00 raised for the Aboriginal Chronic Disease Prevention Project.

Last Tuesday we had a very informative presentation by Mark Smith on Teen Mental Health First Aid, our club has supported students at the Strathalbyn High School with this project which was very much appreciated.

Overall, there has been positive feedback with the new sound system purchased for meetings in the smaller room at the Bridgeport Hotel.

Catching up with the family in Melbourne is going well, all being well I will see you Tuesday night.

Cheers Gordon.

Guess Who Came To Lunch?

Sunday 2nd June was a day for friends either old or new as they joined around a table for a meal.

Thanks to the five hosts (Jenny & Rob Walters, Julieanne Sissman, Bev & John Scarvelis, Vicki & Jim Mason and Rhonda & Robin LeGallez) for opening their homes and providing a meal for up to 8 people. Twenty eight guests were all phoned on Sunday morning to advise them of their destination and the hosts found out who their guest were as they opened the door.

Funds raised from the day will be directed to District 9510 Centenary Legacy Project, Aboriginal Chronic Disease Prevention Project.

Aged & Carers Expo

The Murray Bridge Performing Arts & Function Centre was the venue for the inaugural Aged & Carers Expo held 30th May 2024.

Members of the Rotary Club of Murray Bridge combined to facilitate this much needed free event.

Conceived and implemented by Rotarian John Whimpress, 30 agencies associated with the aged and carers provided information booths. Throughout the day at least 500 interested people visited and sought information. In addition, three information sessions were held in the upstairs meeting room.

Troughout the day the majority of members of the Rotary Club assisted with setup, greeting visitors and providing a BBQ which was supplied at no cost to diners. Those who were able were asked to make a gold coin donation.

At the conclusion of the day, many exhibitors offered praise for the initiate shown and providing a focal point for those seeking advise.

Expired Film & Old Chrome

Ethan Klemm and another photographer Mel Alexander are working on a photography project, documenting car culture in South Australia using vintage cameras. By using vintage cameras they hope to achieve a classic look to the photos, and create a nostalgic colour and texture. They have recently won a small grant from the Rural City of Murray Bridge funding this project supported by the Rotary Club of Murray Bridge. The vision is to end up with a small booklet and to exhibit their work. Ethan's father Brenton Klemm was a past Rotarian of the Rotary Club of Murray Bridge and well known to the older Rotarian members. Ethan was also a graduate of a Youth Program in the Rotary Club as a younger person. He is currently 24 years old and works at Bow Hill Engineering. Ethan demonstrated some of his photography and ideas at the Rotary meeting on Tuesday and we look forward to the end result. John Scarvelis
