Hello Judy
President’s report such that it is.
Arrived in Bendigo when all 7 clubs were holding changeovers.
Met with the President of The Rotary Club of Bendigo and exchanged a few ideas
Also attended the Changeover for the Rotary Club of Bendigo Sandhurst who held their changeover at a High Tea at the famous Shamrock Hotel.
The Federation Room where the Changeover was held was used during the time of Federation in Australia so some history attached to the venue.
The Club is a business breakfast club and the incoming President is Paul Henderson and outgoing was Cathie Miller.
See you all at Changeover
Love Deb
Now..let's get on the right page
What! Am I supposed to know all this?
OK... we're away
and Myla's induction goes smoothly
Welcome to Chris who has transferred from Cal Pac

30th June Meeting - Rubie Orman USC/Cambodia
Guest speaker Rubie Orman
Chair
Merv
(At least most of Merv was present)
International Toast
Norm made the surprise move of doing the next 36 years worth of toasts in one go by toasting the great achievements of the Rotary Clubs of Great Britain - England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales (that’s 1800 Clubs with 50,000 members) Oak’s staff were quick to lock the doors to the dining area as a quick calculation verified just how much fruit juice would be necessary, and I think the Board should consider a retroactive motion that requires the Toastee to actually write to each toasted Club - That will keep Norm busy for a while. Not surprisingly, their achievements took a while to document, including:
Improving the lives of people at home and abroad using the skills of members
Promoting peace
Preventing diseases
Access to clean water
Sanitation
Maternal & child health
Develop community ties
Apologies
Pauline & John, Stuart, Ron, Deborah, Neil, Anna, Judy & Julianna

Speaker
Someone turned the lights off - Rubie is a little blurred
(but the slides came out really well)
To manage everything in her life, Rubie speaks at 100mph, so please forgive this poor blogger as my notes are sketchy and mainly unreadable. This is what I think I wrote:
2013/14 fundraising $3,500 to raise. RSL & Bond Uni funding.

1975-79 killing
fields
two houses for $15,000

Bill gave a few words from Men's Shed, and mentioned President Jim and Tim’s help - the impossible has been achieved. The green shed at Alan & Queen Streets is a “good shed” too. Both will be really useful. Mentioned the possibility of a recycling exercise at the tip involving a liaison with Endeavour Foundation. Tim is a fixer.
Speaker
Genta introduced Tim, and spoke about his ex professional football career at $50K a year. He joined Council in 2008.

Three Things
Caloundra CBD Streetscaping #3 at Felicity Park, Otranto, Lamkin Lane, Stage #2 Felicity to Chaps. Should optimise for events with flush surfaces and accessible entries, more flexible for markets - can face stalls into shops for instance. Fig trees to be replaced with hard Quandong (that’s Elaeocarpus obovatus if you were wondering). Flood studies were done to see if we would be able to hold a bathtub regatta down Bulcock St when it rains. Unfortunately no, according to the engineers.
A Task Force of 12 people will look at operational aspects such as public art vs vandalism, a “Renew” program. Strategies include activating empty shops - Start up business ideas could experiment for 30 days. been successful in Newcastle. It brings people back to town. $22,000 is from the secret parking fund where $’s are set aside for Caloundra only. There’s $3-400K hiding in there somewhere so maybe we could have a big party sometime - What do you recon Tim?
A Micro people mover pilot program - could be a golf cart or small bus - create a loop and have them at 10 minute intervals.
A CBD curator - Drew Westbrook - funded from the parking reserve. Idea is to get the CBD working more like a shopping centre management model.
A CBD Master Plan including consultants, community reference group, Task Force (oops! there goes the big party idea) Version #1 soon. The Planning Scheme is OK, but we need to drill down further, incentive sites, and work out what to with Council’s extensive holdings including car parks, roads, bus interchange; and sort out the light rail.
