Presidents Message:

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has confirmed the state has too many COVID-19 cases to come out of lockdown this week, but says "modest changes" to restrictions are on the way. These changes will be announced on Wednesday so unfortunately we will have to continue to hold our meetings on zoom. I certainly look forward to the day when we can meet in person at the ISCW.

From The Board

"At our July Board meeting, we considered a request to provide more funding to Tamarind to repair their recently installed new bore. Some of the information we were given about the bore was incorrect and led us to the decision not to provide any further funding for the bore. As Chris Ochaya had established a very good relationship with a few Rotarians and because time was of the essence, a few Rotarians decided that this project was worthy of further funding to ensure the repairs were carried out and to provide Tamarind with a sustainable and reliable water supply.

We sincerely thank those members who funded the works to the bore"

As our guest speaker Elaine Robb had to cancel due to ill health. Ian Hovey again stepped up to the plate and provided us with 2 excellent presentations from Brian Toon (Nucellar Warfare) and Ernie Johnson ( Make Somebody’s Life Better).

I respectfully ask members to keep in touch with members who do not attend our zoom meetings to make sure they are alright. It is also very important to check in on family members as well.

Next week’s guest speaker will be Cat McCarthy, People Development Manager, McCarthy Plumbing Group.

I will close with a thought for the week: Never lose hope, you never know what tomorrow may bring.

Have a great week and above all stay safe.

Graham
