Greetings Rotarians,
As you can see President Amanda has been busy doing "Make-ups" in India, and I am sure that she will have many interesting stories to tell when she returns next week.
Many thanks must go to Pam Westerdorf for filling in as our Speaker last week. Pam gave us an interesting insight into her passion as a rower and the journey from a young woman through to her experiences representing Australia at multiple Olympic games. Pam is now passing on her wealth of knowledge and experience to young female rowers as a coach and has been recently been working with students at Geelong Grammar School. If you missed hearing Pams presentation you can always call in for a coffee at her Coffee Shop out next to Mals and Debbie Slaters home on Anglesea Rd
Some sad news was received from Brian Mynott last week with the passing of his Mother, Lilian. I am sure that you will all join in offering Brian our condolences at this time. For those who would like to attend Lilians funeral, the details are as follows.
The funeral

Please note next Monday we be having a fun Melbourne Cup for our meeting. This will be an official "Partners Night" so it will be assumed that you are attending unless you apologise through the normal channel & in time to give our caterer sufficient notice.
Alternatively you will have already received an invitation email from Peter Bollen, the event organiser, which gives you the opportunity to register yourself & your partner along with any friends or family who you may also like to bring along on the night.
You will find in this bulletin details from Mal Slater regarding the 2015-16 Summer BBQ season. Please read the article and assist Graeme McDonald (Graeme will be managing the Roster this year) with the information that they require.
Mal also requires help with Marshalls for the RACV Great Ocean Ride in April if you could let Mal know if you are available.
All being well Pres Amanda will back to write this column for you next week.
See you Monday
Greg Plumridge
