Serving the Community since 1985 In Gear 2017 2018 R O T A R Y C L U B O F B E A U M A R I S W E E K L Y B U L L E T I N Number 13 25 September 2017 Presidents Report I made a typo in last week s piece, the Cheltenham Community Centre s annual children s festival is on Saturday 21st October not the 24th. It is held at the Cheltenham Community Centre, 8 Chesterville Rd, Cheltenham, starting at 10.00. I am sure Chris W will be looking for help with logistics and parking management. If you have not been before, go and have a look and see our club s money in action. Our contribution pays for some of the activities and entertainment, helping to make the day a significant local event. The Music Trivia Quiz was a great success with 60 participants including partners, friends and visiting Rotarians. Thanks to everybody concerned with the production, organisation and management of the evening. As you know we collect stamps and foreign coins, the tins are on the cash table at each meeting. The collected coins have gone off to UNICEF via Hampton Rotary and the Stamps have gone to Carrol Farmer at the Rotary Club of Glen Waverley who is collecting them for the End Trachoma by 2020 campaign. If you have coins or stamps, just put them in the tins and I will make sure they are put to good use. On Friday I went to the launch of the Bayside City Council Plan 2017-2021 and the Bayside Community Plan 2025 at a breakfast at Sandringham Yacht Club. The plan addresses the seven domains of liveability: Infrastructure Transport Housing and neighbourhoods Open Space Environment Local economy and activity centres Community health and participation Copies of the plans are available from council offices and libraries.

Vietnam. The team at the Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit in Bangkok said there was a real danger of malaria becoming untreatable as strains with resistance to the drug artemisinin emerge. About 212 million people are infected with malaria each year and is a major killer of children. I hope it will receive the same Rotary focus as eradicating Polio has. Have good week, I look forward to catching up on Thursday for Roy Downes new members talk.
