Clean water is a basic need for human beings. When people, especially children, have access to clean water, they live healthier and more productive lives.

Monbulk Bowls
Posted by Graham Johnstone.
We have a fairly quiet news week this week. Enjoy the movie night tonight at the Cameo in Belgrave with like minded Rotarians. 
The weather is fine right through to the Wednesday bowls tournament at Monbulk so there is plenty of time to practice. Please wear footwear suitable for lawn bowls (no heels).
Sometimes there is a chill in the air later , so please bring warm clothing as well. All bowling must be underarm, may the best team win!
2022-2023 Grants Qualification Seminars
Posted by Sam McCurdy:
 
 
District 9820
Rotary Foundation Committee
 
2022-23 GRANTS QUALIFICATION SEMINARS
 
District Grants Qualification Seminars are to be held once again, as “Zoom Meetings” so that Rotarians will not have to travel far, enabling us all to save time and money. We have selected 3 session times to cater for everyone. Duration of each seminar will be approximately one hour. To book a time for your Club it will be “first in best dressed” with a maximum of 20 participants (computers) per session.
 
The date and times are:
 
Sunday, 10th April 2022
  • 1st Seminar -             9.00 am
  • 2nd Seminar -           11.00 am
  • 3rd Seminar -            7.00 pm
What you have to do by 25th March 2022 is:
  1. Book a time for your Club.
  2. Nominate who will be participating in the seminar (preferably the President Elect and/or the Foundation Chairman/Director of your Club, open to everyone).
  3. Nominate one email address for those participating to gather at.
  4. Send the above details to either Geoff Magor (grants@rotary9820.org.au) or Mark Humphries (foundation@rotary9820.org.au).
Note:  To become qualified for a Foundation District Grant in 2022-23, a Club must have had at least one member participate in the Qualification Seminars. Clubs which do not have a representative participating will be ineligible to apply for Grants in 2022-23.
 
Those Clubs wishing to apply for a Foundation Global Grant should contact Mark Humphries or Geoff Magor and arrangements will made for Global Grants training to be undertaken at your Club.
 
I look forward to your participation
