WANDIN CUSTOM CAR & BIKE SHOW
!! SPONSOR OF THE WEEK !!
PRESIDENTS REPORT
HI, All,
Last Wednesday, we had our last car show for the season, and
with a little concern that the spiralling fuel prices may have some
effect on attendance, we had a successful evening.
There were around 275 show cars and 25 bikes that came through the gate, a healthy total from walk ins / donations and very good sales at the bar.
My thanks go all members of the Club who were there for the setup in the afternoon, the running of the show, and the cleanup at the end of the evening.
Thanks also go to those from outside of the club, who volunteered to help in running this event over 4 shows this season.
Special thanks must also be given to Brian, for a magnificent effort in organising and coordinating this, Wandin Rotary’s major fundraiser.
On the 15th of April, we will be having a special thank you night at the Hub, where amongst other things we will present a cheque to the Templestowe and Yarra Valley Auxiliary of the RCH.
This Wednesday, we will be presenting Vocational Service awards to 8 deserving members of the local community. This will be held at Warratina Lavender Farm Tea rooms.
Please confirm your attendance to Tim on Monday to enable catering arrangements to be made. The event will be BYO drinks.
Yours in Rotary
President Peter

ROMAC
Can you begin to comprehend what Antonious’s life must have been like for his 14 years?
ROMAC is working on bringing him to Melbourne from Timor Leste, for treatment which will likely take 6 months.
The surgeon has agreed to take the case pro bono and we are waiting for the quote from the hospital.
As you can imagine, this will be an expensive exercise to give Antonious a chance at a normal life.
Might be time to think about another ROMAC fundraiser? To donate directly, go to the ROMAC website www.romac.life
Special Notice
Hi all i was informed about this from Diane MCintyre about a Situation that i think is worthy of attention please read this article it explains it better then i ever will i will make a note to bring this up at the next board meeting if their is something as a club we can do to maybe assist
I thought to get an online booking service so stall holders can apply. I thought to get this happening asap so we can get about 16 stall holders booked in for the first event being May 31st Sunday 10am to 4pm.
I am sending it to you all so you have some knowledge of how this will all work for us.
Tomorrow I will be asking all the schools to come along to our first event, then they can take pictures of the Huge Yarra Valley EEL and go back and think of a name to enter into the name competition.
So in May they can come and see the EEL and Nominate a Name. With 10 local schools each nominating a Name thereafter people can come along and bid on the name (put money in a jar at the event (I will set up an online bidding donation service) . https://www.trybooking.com/online-giving this can go viral.
The name with the most donations wins.
All Donations go to Wandin Rotary for ??????? Maybe the school who wins gets Something Special ???????
It would be nice to have a list of what the money goes to - so people will know what they are supporting.
Next job is to set up the "Wandin Rotary - Community Connections - Creative Artisans Village" committee & program which I will do when I get back from Yamba 24th March.
Meanwhile, I will grow the eel, create a website / booking service / bidding service - for the WRCCCAV put the online activities into place so we can do some marketing and bring in people to help us with this event.
I have 2 hours Wed/Thur to work on this.
Best Regards
Jeanette Jensen

Hi All
I would like to propose that instead of meeting at the Chinaman on Wednesday the 1st of April, we join Lilydale on Tuesday the 31st, for croquet fun and fellowship. I've spoken to Jeanette and we're both keen - refer to attached flyer below.
