Well, we are into November, and I hope everyone’s enjoying some much

rest of the month.

On Monday the 10th we have a vocational visit to the Seville Community

Both of these events have been Organised by Anita, and full details are

On Tuesday the 11th of the 11th we gather at the Wandin Cenotaph for
Remembrance Day, and on Wednesday the 12th we have our monthly
Board Meeting – 7.30pm at the Bendigo Bank Board Room. All
members welcome to attend.

The following week we have our first car show for the season on
Wednesday the 19th – All hands-on deck! On Friday the 21st I will be
attending the Districts Presidents Dinner and Annual General Meeting.
Finally, on the 26th of November we will be having our Annual General
Meeting, where club executive positions for the next Rotary Year will be
determined.

November is Rotary Foundation Month
November is one of Rotary’s most important months — a time to
celebrate The Rotary Foundation, the heart of Rotary’s humanitarian
work.

Our Foundation transforms your contributions into life-changing projects
both locally and globally — tackling challenges such as:
Fighting disease (including eradicating polio worldwide)
Providing clean water and sanitation
Supporting education and literacy
Saving mothers and children
Growing local economies
Promoting peace and conflict resolution

Every dollar donated works harder through Rotary’s global network —
combined with District and Global Grants to multiply impact. Even a
modest personal donation contributes to scholarships, clean water
projects, and life-saving health initiatives around the world.

November is the month when the World Health Organisation officially
declared the first global polio-free region, highlighting the impact Rotary
has made in fighting disease worldwide.

Yours in Rotary
President Peter
