ANZAC Day in the City of Casey
Extracted from the City of Casey website
 
ANZAC Day on Sunday 25th April, will look a little different again in 2021 due to ongoing COVID-19 restrictions. 
 
RSL Victoria is again encouraging Victorians to ‘Light up The Dawn’ and acknowledge ANZAC Day at the end of their driveways.
 
In the City of Casey, all local events have been replaced with smaller and private ticketed events, with invitations being extended to RSL members, local veterans and their families.  These events will be held at several locations and managed by organisers from the respective RSL’s and community groups.  
 
Dawn services will occur at the Cranbourne RSL, Pearcedale Public Hall and Bunjil Place, along with morning services at the Cranbourne RSL and on High Street, Berwick. As in previous years, all these events are sponsored through Council’s Grant Funding Program.
 
The broader public cannot attend these events, however, people are encouraged to lay a wreath at their local cenotaph or pay their respects at another time throughout the day.   
 
President David Button will lay a wreath at the cenotaph in Berwick on Sunday, on behalf of the  Rotary Club of Berwick.
Art Screens for the Haval Great Art Show
Posted by Sam McCurdy
 
The Art Screen Crew together with
Calvin Bell and Elizabeth Thompson of Provenance Artists Inc
 
On Thursday 22nd April, eight volunteers from the Rotary Club of Berwick delivered a large number of our Art Screens to Nossal High School, to be used in the Haval Great Art Show. The delivery required two trailers, which were towed by Laury Gordyn and Gary Evans. The Rotarians then set up the screens to meet a floor plan drawn up by the organisers that also required sufficient space to accommodate a Grand Piano.
 
It was terrific to see our prospective member David Anderson turn up to assist with the delivery and layout of the screens.
 
This event is sponsored by Berwick Motor Group’s Haval dealership and will be held over the weekend of Friday 23rd – Sunday 25th April.  It is the 21st major show organised by Provenance Artists Inc, which is a not-for-profit society of artists from the City of Casey and Cardinia Shire. 
 
Calvin Bell from Provenance Artist Inc proudly informed us that 'The Great Art Show' is now the largest art show in the South East and it features amazing pieces from leading Victorian and interstate artists. This year’s exhibition will also feature paintings from the 'Lest We Forget – Vietnam' exhibition, which includes a collection of 30 paintings of Vietnam veterans and their memories of the war. 
 
The crew will dismantle the Art Screens at 9:30am on Tuesday 26th April and return them to 'The Shed'.  If you are available to assist on Tuesday, please let PP Gus Dominguez know, as he is the Art Screen Hire Coordinator.

This event is free, but you do need to register here!
 
Note that the District 9820 Mini-Conference will be held in person at Nossal High School from 3:30pm on Saturday 1st May.
 
You are guaranteed to be inspired by the outstanding guest speakers at 'Virtual Victoria', who will share the extraordinary stories that have made Rotary a force for doing good in the world. 
 
 
As Rotarians, you are invited to join this free online event…to celebrate what you have achieved and be inspired to go on and do more.
District 9820 Mini Conference
Submitted by Jane Moore
 
District Governor Mark and Linda are excited to invite you to our District 9820 Mini Conference as we gather in person for the first time in 12 months to celebrate our District.
 
We would like to see as many RC Berwick Rotarians at this mini Conference, as possible! Our Club has even saved up the member contributions made for PDG Adrian Froggatt's District Conference and as it never happened, funds are available to pay for RC Berwick members to attend. How good is that!
 
If you have already registered and paid, you will be reimbursed by the Club. If you wish to attend, email Secretary Sam at Secretary@rotaryberwick.org and he will book the rest of us in.
 
Please come along, as a District Conference is a great experience!
 
Our mini conference will be held face to face on the 1st May following the online virtual 2021 Multi District Conference, information following.  Jump in your car, drive down the highway and meet us all at Nossal High School for an afternoon and evening of fun and entertainment.
 
This will be our first conference in two years. We have quite a lot to catch up on, so we are breaking the conference into three components.
  1. The Conference component will bring us together to pay our respect to those called to higher service, to celebrate and acknowledge award recipients, to hear presentations and to ratify some short mandatory business resolutions.
  2. A friendship break in the foyer, where we can socialise over finger food.
  3. Conference Dinner and entertainment in the main Hall, where you will enjoy time together over a two-course meal, beverages included, while being entertained by our Nossal High School students as they showcase their amazing musical and dance talents.
