I was pleased to view all the wonderful toys made by the Mt Evelyn Men s shed for children in Timor. These toys were made for many years by friend of rotary Brain Frost, but due to ill health Brian has been unable to make the toys. This is where the men s shed has come in taking on this project. To enable the great work of the men s shed to continue I will be presenting a cheque for $ to the men s shed sometime this week. Recently Ann Whelan and I attended a meeting for this year s Lilydale s Air Show. Our involvement in the air show will require a huge commitment from our club. We will be doing a BBQ that will run all day, plus doing the afternoon car parking duties. The morning session car park will be conducted by Yarra Glen s men s shed. The organizers are expecting a crowd of some 6000 people especially if it is a fine day. More information on this event as it becomes available.

AG Bob Williams discussed the agenda for the DG s visit. Des spoke to us about the proposal by the Council re using the area near Melba Park for maybe a trial market. The market committee has been in discussions with the Council on the proposal with possibly a trial night market sometime in the new year.

7 THIS WEEK S HAY STORIES RCL was mentioned in the following Mail newspapers this week: Mountain Views, Mount Evelyn Mail, Ranges Trader, Upper Yarra Mail & Ferntree Gully Mail. Copy of I just sent to Rotary Bairnsdale Thank you for your I have passed onto Croydon rotary your thanks. I have had a good response to our front page news item on the hay and by tomorrow will have another $2000 for our next load of hay (hopefully) total donation is up to well over $15, The rising cost of hay means that 34 bales could be around the $4000 mark and Lynn and I are keen to see the fifth load of hay dispatched to you. A lady in Healesville has also offered her house in case a farmer wants a break up this way. I have just completed another article for the local paper on the load we sent down on Tuesday. Our club has been quite moved by the generosity of farmers, transport companies businesses, and the general public. Tanya Brock from the CFA in Lilydale is collecting dog food for the farmers. This will be coordinated by Captain Peter White CFA Buchan. Peter was very pleased to be involved. I also received a call from the coordinator at the Melba centre (centre for people with a disability) here in Lilydale and one of their residents has gone and raised some money for the farmers and she wants to make gift bags up for them. As you said Gillian it is more than just hay it s about getting our community involved and letting our farmers know that we support them in many ways. Thank you also for your great support Kind Regards Ron Ron Haines AFSM President Lilydale Rotary Page 7 of 13

Well done to Tanya for this initiative, again this is a great morale boost for drought affected farmers along with our hay, grain and fuel vouchers.

Farm dogs play a vital role in the management of a farm and Tanya feels that if she can help the farmers out with supplying dog food then it something that they don t have to worry about buying.

9 It was a real privilege for Judy and myself to meet an exceptional young lady today Lisa Sulfaro. Lisa recently raised some $320 by selling flowers in and around Lilydale, especially for our hay appeal. After discussions with her helper Mandy, Lisa decided to make up ten bags of general household items for our struggling farmers in East Gippsland. These will be delivered to farmers via Captain Peter White of the Buchan CFA. Lisa lives at a Melba centre house in Lilydale her carer Heather tells us that she is always thinking of other people and collects for cancer appeal as well.

12 TOYS FOR TIMOR LESTE Thank you to the Mt Evelyn Men s shed for making three boxes of toys that are bound for Timor. Friend of Rotary Brian Forst for many years made these toys, in fact he has built over 2000 of them, but due to ill health Brain has not been able to make anymore. However, the men s shed has taken up the challenge and we thank them for their great work. Children in Timor are very grateful for these toys as they wait eagerly for their arrival.
