Judith Eadon spoke briefly on District activities, and encouraged members to check out the District website as well as our two district newsletter -Highlights and Open Doors, so that they could keep in touch with club and district events. Most clubs have returned to face to face meetings. Membership numbers for the district : 1084. She touched on the Centenary celebrations, and passed the baton to Gabby Knaepple, who provided us with details of what we at Nunawading, would be doing when we have the baton on April 11th, as well as the 4 projects we would participate in during the year. If members have questions please contact Graeme Moorfoot (Baton Relay Coordinator), or Gabby (rep on the Whitehorse Cluster's 100 Year Project Committee) Gabby provided me with this synopsis of her report: 100 Years of Rotary in Australia and New Zealand - Baton Relay on Sunday 11 April 2021: RC Nunawading have hired horses and a carriage to cover the length of our Baton Relay leg. We will put Rotary signage on the carriage and this will have visibility as it goes up and down Whitehorse Road and down to the Blackburn Lake precinct. The carriage can seat up to 8 people and members are encouraged to take part on a rotational basis. Our leg will commence at 8am from the Whitehorse Civic Centre, Whitehorse Rd – the Farmers Market will be on at this time. The route will cover Antonio Park, Eastern Emergency Relief Network and Blackburn Lake area including the Yarning Circle. We have to get the baton back to the Farmers Market by 10.30am to hand over to RC of Mitcham. When the horses and carriage arrive at Blackburn Lake we propose to offer free rides – the proposal is a route of approximately ¾ kilometre. We will also offer a barbeque with sausages etc. We also have 4 projects to roll out over the calendar year: |
