Welcome to yet another week in Rotary.
I want to start this week by giving a vote of thanks to those Rotarians and families who attended the service to celebrate the wonderful life of Garry Cooper.
The service was a testament to a terrific bloke and Rotarian who dedicated his life to his family, friends and service including Our Lady Help Of Christian Parish Narre Warren, the RSL extended family and also Rotary. It was very humbling to be part of the Guard of Honour for Garry at the end of the service.
There is quite a bit on the runway at present and I thought it best to list so there is a consolidated view.
Next Wednesday & Thursday, 15 & 16 May are the Presentation Balls for Berwick College. Thank you to all Rotarians who have volunteered to be part of the 2 nights, in particular Isobel & Jenn who will be our Masters of Ceremony over the 2 nights. As a consequence of these Presentation Balls being held next week there is no meeting on Wednesday 15 May at Holm Park Beaconsfield.
I attended practice at the venue this week on Monday & Tuesday and I have to say that the Debutantes & their Partners have come a long way since the journey started and I think that next week there will be plenty of proud & satisfied parents & friends.
Andrew has circulated a call for help with Playground Harvests over the coming weeks. If you have the capacity to help out it is certainly appreciated.
Roger Thornton from the Rotary Club of Pakenham has extended an invitation to all our Cluster Club members to attend their special presentation on Tuesday 28th May.
Nandy Gur, who is from Spend it Well will be speaking, see brief description below.
It would be great to have representation from all clubs in attendance to find out how we could be of assistance as a cluster.
Throughout Roger’s 10 years with DIK, clubs have been providing school furniture thru DIK to Timor Leste.
Anything we can do will certainly help assist them. Rotary matching grants can be used.
Pakenham Meeting time: Tuesdays at 6:15 p.m. Cardinia Club71 Racecourse Road Pakenham, VIC 3810
Bob & Vicki have reminded me that they have another music event coming up on Friday 17 May, Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons vs. the Bee Gees showdown. If you are interested in attending and supporting the hosts of our weekly meetings, please

In addition, our members and families are invited to a BBQ on 18 May, commencing at Noon, at the Rotary Rotunda Warragul to mark the History of District 9820. Details are at the bottom of this bulletin.
Finally at our next meeting get together on Wednesday 22 May we are thrilled to let you know that we will be inducting Jahanne Nagle into the club. It will be good to have a good representation at our meeting to make the night memorable for Jahanne and those special to her.
