What a great night we had at the Sandown Greyhounds last week to raise funds for the Local Schools Library Program.
This initiative is a joint project of the Rotary Clubs of Noble Park-Dingley and Springvale City.

This has been running for many years and funds raised are matched by Dymocks and each year 4 Schools benefit with Library books supplied by Dymocks.
We raised nearly $5000 so when matched by Dymocks it will be $10,000.
Each school will receive close to $2500 in books.

Special thank you to Dymocks and the coordinators of the night Brian, Rex and Reny.

This is another way that Rotary is doing good for the Community.

Last Saturday our Rotary Club provided free Hearing and Eye tests to all Foundation and Grade 1 students at Wallarano Primary School in Noble Park.

Final year Students from The University of Melbourne Department of Audiology & Speech Pathology and the Department of Optometry & Vision Sciences gave up their time to complete the tests.

53 children were screened on a very busy day that started at 9.15am till 3pm.

The results of the tests revealed the following:
53% of the children were at risk with eye issues and were given referrals for follow-up action.
24% of the children were at risk with Hearing issues and were given referrals for follow-up action.

A special thankyou to volunteers Jenny, Helen and Rex for assisting on the day.

Once again this is another initiative that Rotary is doing good in the Community.

At our last meeting our special speaker was Janette Etherington who is the Rotary Coordinator at Interplast. A position she has held since 2019.

She explained that this part time role enables her shared passion for both Interplast and Rotary.
Janette is a past President of the Rotary Club of Nunawading and has been a Rotarian for 14 years.

The key points from the presentation were:
-Interplast & Rotary started in 1983
-It was started by Dr Leo Rozner, Dr Gerald Duff (Rotarian) & Prof. Donald Marshall (RACS)
-Interplast changes lives i.e.Patients, Families & Communities
-Since 1983 there were 27,350+ Surgeries and 14,350+ Training opportunities
-16,000+ hours of mentoring, 91,000+ Webinar hours of training & 111on deman training resources.
-the average cost of surgery is $1,500

Why is there a need for Interplast?
Because only 6% of all surgical procedures are performed in the world's poorest countries.
Since 2005 our Club has donated over$11,000 to Interplast.

What a fantastic presentation and what great work Interplast has done since 1983. We donated another $500 to this fabulous initiative created by Rotary.

This week our club visited the Shri Shiva Vishnu Temple in Carrum Downs. 15 Members and partners took a tour of the Temple. PP Rama was a fantastic guide and explained the different statutes and what they meant to the large Hindu congregation.

It was a cold and wet night but very interesting as we saw many Hindu members in naked feet as it is a custom that you must remove your shoes before entering the Temple.

Our members also had to remove their shoes!

Once the tour was over we enjoyed a fantastic 3 course vegetarian meal.

Thank you Rama for making the visit possible.

What a great Changeover we had when President Gerry handed over the Baton to President elect Chris. President Chris is doing 6 months and sharing with President Ron.

Over 45 Members and guests attended the change over at Keysborough Golf Club who enjoyed a fantastic 2 course meal.

It was a great night to hear the many achievements that our great club has delivered for the 2025-26 Rotary year.

President Gerry has served our Club magnificently over the past 2 years. His work was recognised with a Paul Harris Award.

Our long serving Treasurer Steven was also recognised with a Paul Harris Award for his hard work in making sure our funds are used to deliver projects that do good in the Community.

Finally our Youth Director Reny was awarded a Paul Harris Award for his hard work and projects delivered that assisted the Youth in our Community.

It was also great to have DG Peter Behm and at our Changeover and he gave a great speech and congratulated our Club for being so welcoming and an example to the District.

We wish incoming President Chris and President Ron all the best for their tenure.

Last week we had a joint meeting with the Rotary Club of Greater Dandenong and Endeavour Hills.

Our guest speaker was Brian Ashworth who had been involved with Disaster Aid Australia for many many years.

His presentation focused on safe water for every child.

If a village has safe water it impacts the following 7 key areas:
Water, sanitation and hygiene
Disease Prevention and treatment
Maternal and child health
Basic education and literacy
Community Economic Development
Environment
Peace building and conflict prevention

It is amazing how clean water can impact a family, village, town and country.

Disaster Aid Australia is achieving great outcomes and every Rotary club should get involved to ensure that every family and child has clean water where this is not available.

Our club contributed $500 which will fund a water filter for a village fir 12months and has agreed to work together for a much greater project that will deliver clean water to other areas where needed.
