Presidents Report At our last meeting PE Bob McArthur and his team gave a presentation for the upcoming Rotary year, 2013/2014. I wasn’t able to attend this meeting, however I heard from those that did attend that it was a very professional and compre-hensive presentation. Bob’s wife “soon to be first lady” Sue also came along for the meeting. Bob’s focus for the year is membership, something that both he and Membership director Trish Smyth will be working hard on in the year ahead. Membership is one of the areas of focus for Rotary International, along with Future Vision and Eradica-tion of Polio. I know everyone is very much looking forward to Bob’ year. Tony McKenna and I attended the District Changeover night on 15th June, where DG Brian Martin “handed over the baton” to incoming DG for 2013/2014, Merv Ericson. The district now has a different system for awarding clubs, where they are now recognised in the areas of Club Building, Club Projects and Club PR/Communications. At the district changeover many clubs received recognition awards, which provided an excellent insight into the work done by clubs in our district in 2012-13. In line with the International theme, many awards were made for club “peace” projects. For the upcoming 2013/2014 year, PDG David Alexander will take over responsibility for a new District 9810 learning regime, which I understand will continue to come under the Ro-tary Leadership Institute. This provides opportunities for all members to receive training from experienced Rotary trainers and leaders, to equip them to take on the many roles offered by Rotary. Next meeting will be at VGC on 20th June, where we will have as our guest speaker Michael Gallus from Footys-4-all. Come along and find out what it is all about! Stay safe everyone and have a wonderful week. President John

Presentation to Beaumaris Life Saving Club On June 14 Pres. John presented the awards at the Beaumaris Life Sav-ing Club (BLSC) 'Nippers Evening'. BLSC have had a great season, with a large increase in the number of children and parents participating in the club. It has recently been made mandatory for life saving clubs to provide high visibility rashie vests for members when in the water, for

safety reasons. It has therefore been a great help for BLSC that we have provided a full set of these for all mem-bers, with the added benefit that they are now also flying the rota-ry flag when at the club!

Bunnings Sausage Sizzle; 17 June A band of hardy soles braved the cold, wind and rain to do our first Monday sausage sizzle at Bunnings Mentone. While being very cautious about what result we would get on a weekday and in such inclement weather the re-sult; a net $566.05 made it all worthwhile.

Also by maintaining our relationship with Bunnings it should, hopefully, lead to favourable consideration for more lucrative days down the track. Well done to all who did their bit on the day.

Mental Health First Aid Workshop; 4 / 5 July

As members should now be aware, we are hosting a Mental Health First Aid Workshop in early July. This activity fits well with the club's recent and ongo-ing focus on community health and well-being. You are urged to visit the MHFA web-site at www.mhfa.com.au to get a bet-

ter appreciation of what Mental Health First Aid is all about and how important it is that we support this activity. See flyer on page 6 for more detail.

Dream Trip: Free BASE the Eiger, Switzerland Dean Potter Rock Climber/BASE Jumper The 13,025-foot Eiger, an iconic limestone buttress jutting out from the ridgeline, is highly visible even among taller peaks in Switzer-land’s western Alps. Its dramatic north face towers nearly 6,000 feet above the mountain pass below and is known in mountaineer-ing as one of the six great north faces of the Alps for its difficulty and height. In 2008, climber Dean Potter selected it for the first ever free BASE (parachute-protected free solo) climb. “Since childhood, I had always been a free soloist, a climber with-out ropes or any protection, where falling meant splattering upon the ground,” Potter says. “Free BASE was completely foreign to me and it broke every rule I trusted to change falling on a climb from dying to flying.” He ascended a route known as the Deep Blue Sea with only a five-pound BASE parachute strapped to his back for protection.
