President's Opening Remarks (8 Apr 2020)
Welcome everyone to the third email meeting of the Rotary club of Templestowe.
The Board had a zoom meeting on Monday and it was decided that we do a trial Wednesday 8th April zoom meeting for all members to get everyone used to the technology. It will also be a good chance to catch up with everyone.
Regular Wednesday zoom meetings will then take place.
The meeting time will be 7.30pm for all these Zoom meetings.
If anyone has any problems with logging onto zoom, we can sort that out with you after the meeting. Let us know.
Let's get REAL this year
This year, the Rotary Club of Templestowe is pleased to be adding a new local community organisation, REAL Inc as a beneficiary of our fundraising and support activities.
Based in Manningham, REAL brings together post-school aged men and women with an intellectual and/or physical disability and their families with the aim of providing a regular, on-going, cohesive support group. The organisation also advocates at all levels of government for increased awareness and organisational change to enable inclusive participation in recreational services, housing, and employment.
Bring on the footy! (2020 Footy Tipping)
The Footy season has already started with AFLW off and running. We launched our famous Footy Tipping for this year at our meeting on 26 February at the Manningham Club. Former Essendon great and Captain Ken Fraser, was our guest speaker on this night.
Our Footy tipping is a joint competition between our 3 clubs - Doncaster, Manningham and Templestowe, and friends of the members. Each year, we select a local charity to support with this activity.
