23.01.2022 How has the COVID pandemic affected those less fortunate? Join us as we hear from Sarah Cromie, who joined the St Vincent de Paul Society as Soup Van Operations Manager for Victoria right when the pandemic started. Since joining Vinnies, Sarah has had to pivot the Soup Van program to meet COVID-19 restrictions whilst ensuring food security for our friends on the street, in towers, boarding houses, caravan parks and other insecure accommodation.... Having held leadership positions in the community sector for over 15 years and worked with both staff and volunteers, Sarah understands the nuances of the sector - she has a passion for the impact the provision of food can have and the impacts of people experiencing homelessness. This meeting will be held through Zoom on Wednesday November 4th at 7.30pm, and guests are most welcomed to join us. If you would like an invite, please drop an email with your details to our Secretary at [email protected]. See you then!

20.01.2022 We did it! So proud to be a part of this decades-long battle against polio by Rotarians worldwide. On August 25th, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that transmission of the wild poliovirus has officially been stopped in all 47 countries of its African region.... Now that the African region is free of wild poliovirus, five of WHO’s six regions, representing more than 90 percent of the world’s population, are now free of the disease. Polio caused by the wild virus is still endemic in Afghanistan and Pakistan. It is living proof that strong commitment, coordination, and perseverance amongst people of goodwill can rid the world of deadly and crippling viruses. There are lessons to be learned here! Interested in knowing more? Head over to www.endpolio.org where you can find out about what Rotarians are doing about this, and how you can contribute to eradicating polio forever. #endpolionow #Rotary #PeopleOfAction #manningham #connectingmanningham

18.01.2022 President's Message: July 2020 Hello to all our Rotary Colleagues and friends. Saturday 4 July saw a changing of guard for the Club, celebrating the leadership of President Brian Tyedin during 2019/20, and welcoming the Three Musketeers, Brian Negus, Brian Tyedin and Felix Wong as Co-Presidents for 2020/21. At the end of last year, we found ourselves in difficult circumstances, with a vacancy for President. So, this year we will have three Presidents, with one of us serving ...at a time, but all three of us engaged for the year. We as a club have had to adjust to a new normal, and this has presented challenges for all of us. Despite this we have kicked many goals during the year with the Club receiving a District Citation and a Rotary International Citation for our projects and, communication and promotion with our new website.

18.01.2022 Ah, the Good Ole Days! John Mudgeway shares his special collection of Rotary ties, just to remind us of the "good ole days": Once upon a time, men wore bits of rag around their necks.... They were called neckties. Or just ties. Nobody really knew what their function was. Some reckoned it was to wipe spilled food off your shirt. Rotary men wore ties too, with an annual model change (shades of General Motors under the guidance of Alfred P. Sloan, Jr.) For more images of John's Rotary tie collection, go to https://bit.ly/2HuYLIr

17.01.2022 Transforming lives through life-saving surgeries Join us on August 12th (Wednesday evening) as we hear from PDG Harold Sharpe OAM about the amazing life-saving and dignity-restoring work that Rotary International does with children in the Pacific Region. Harold is currently Chairman of ROMAC (Rotary Oceania Medical Aid for Children) which brings children from the Pacific Region to Australia and New Zealand hospitals for surgeries that are not available to them in their home c...ountry. Harold joined Rotary in 1977 and is currently a member of the Rotary Club of Crows Nest in Sydney. Previously employed as the Director of Community Relations and Marketing at the Royal NSW Institute for Deaf and Blind Children, Harold organised the Tunnel Walk and Day of Celebration held in conjunction with the Opening of the Sydney Harbour Tunnel in 1992. This involved over 2000 Rotarians from Sydney who acted as Marshalls and Volunteers on the day an event which saw 350,000 people walk through the tunnel on that day, and raised over $750,000 for the Charity. Harold held the position of Club President of Crows Nest in 1996 and Governor for the district in 2002-03. He was awarded an OAM in June 2020 for Service to the Community and Charity Initiatives. This meeting will be held through Zoom on Wednesday August 5th at 7.30pm, and guests are most welcomed to join in.

17.01.2022 "At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, We will remember them" Our local Remembrance Day service was held today at Templestowe Memorial Park (corner of Foote and High Street).... This memorial park is of special significance to our club. In 1990, we worked with the Council and the Templestowe Returned Services League to relocate the First World War Memorial from its original site in Anderson St to the current location. The Council had renamed the reserve "Services Memorial Park" to honour the men and women of the armed forces who fought in all wars since Federation, and also to honour members of local service organisations who have contributed to the quality of life in our city. Every year on ANZAC Day, we run the local Schools ANZAC Service to give local primary and secondary students an opportunity to be a part of the remembrance. Members of the public are welcomed to participate - you can find out more details at https://templestowerotary.org.au/anzac-service. #lestweforget2020 #manningham #connectingmanningham #Rotary #PeopleOfAction

16.01.2022 President's Message: November 2020 Welcome to the November Report. Yes, it’s only about 6 weeks to go before we can say goodbye to 2020.... But behind the masks, more people are beginning to smile and look forward to better things in 2021. Big changes have taken place in November. In the USA, we have a new president and a new beginning. In Victoria, we are coming out of lockdown and restrictions are being eased. In the Rotary club of Templestowe, there is a new chair, as I will now represent our club for the next 4 months.

11.01.2022 President's Message: October 2020 Brian Negus Well here we are in October, and its been so different for everyone, personally, and for businesses, and certainly for Rotary. Its been really good though to continue our regular Wednesday night meetings on zoom, and we have enjoyed a wide range of guest speakers and discussions.... Our planning for 2021 with The Manningham Family Festival, Primary School Speech competitions and the Business Excellence Awards is in good shape, but fundraising and social activities are on hold. But our Footy Tipping competition across the Manningham Cluster Clubs, has just concluded with a gala zoom event last Wednesday. The winners were congratulated, and prizes awarded. The great news for the night was that we raised $2,418 for our selected community activity, the Real Group, which supports people with disabilities learning about theatre, then taking part in productions as actors and support people, presenting to the community.

01.01.2022 "Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other" So goes a quote from the speech that John F. Kennedy prepared for delivery in Dallas, on that fateful day in 1963. Learning is just one of the benefits of being a member of a Rotary club. We learn...to lead. ... Leading volunteers where you are a peer among equals can be some of the most challenging and rewarding experiences. This Wednesday evening, we will take a journey through the learning opportunities that we have through Rotary International we will focus on the Rotary Leadership Course which is run in our Rotary District. This meeting will be held through Zoom on Wednesday August 19th at 7.30pm, and guests are most welcomed to join in.
