Serving the Community since 1985

Presidents Report On Thursday we had our Youth Services evening co-ordinated by Chris Martin, where we had the opportunity to hear first-hand from eight of the participants in the youth programs we have supported over the last 18 months. They did a fantastic job and helped make a very successful evening. We also en-joyed the first visit of DGE Russell Gurney to our club. Russell will be District Governor in Heather’s presidential year. Our 2017 / 18 District Governor, Malcolm Chiverton and his wife Karen, will be visiting the club on Thursday 30th November, please put the date in your diary.

I will be going to Sandringham Rotary’s meeting on Tuesday evening where John Sime will be speaking about Malaria. I think this will be the fourth time that John has delivered this talk, helping to raise the issue of Malaria particularly in the Asia Pacific region. While Rotary is rightly focused on the eradica-tion of Polio; each year there are something over 200 million cases of Malaria worldwide and about 430,000 deaths, the majority of them children. Equally concerning are all the other diseases where the mosquito is a vector; Zika, Dengue, West Nile Virus, Chikungunya and Yellow Fever. It is estimated that mosquito borne illnesses kill about 750,000 people a year. I am hoping that some of our International team’s efforts in 2017 – 18 will focus on this area and what we as club or perhaps a cluster can do to make even a small difference.

The Cancer Council Daffodil Day (25th & 26th August) and Concourse Classic Car Show (10th September) are coming up soon at the Beaumaris Concourse. Mary Cunnington is man-aging our involvement in Daffodil Day and Tony Phillips has again offered to organise our participation in the car show. Mary has now filled all the places for Daffodil Day but look out for the car show signup sheet. We will need a maximum turn-out on the weekend of 9th/10th September as we have the Farmers Market and Car Show on consecutive days.

We have two fellowship events coming up that require action if you want to participate. The Music Quiz is on 21st September at VGC with payment in advance please. The cost is $35 per

MITS Gala Dinner

Thursday 19 October

Please save the date! On our annual fundraising event – the MITS Gala Dinner – will be held at Carousel on Albert Park Lake. Join our students for a delicious banquet feast by food&desire and entertainment by Yirrmal Marika – a new generation artist from Yirrkala in North East Arn-hem Land. Yirrmal is the grandson of Dr Yunupingu, for-mer lead singer of Yothu Yindi. He is an inspiring song-writer and guitarist who performs with feeling and depth well beyond his years. He also undertook schooling away from home, so has walked the path our students are trav-elling. He wowed the crowds at the Port Fairy Festival this year and we know he’ll do the same at the Gala Din-ner. Please join us if you can.

Little Jetnm Robotics Tour to Denmark Tamalyn Davies Ella Barlow Izzy Bennett Lalli Kirby

Sandringham College

The team representatives told of their journey from the State competition at Swinburne to the Australian Final at Maquarie University and then on to the Global Robotics contest in Aar-hus, Denmark in May 2017.

As well as developing the hardware and soft-ware for the robot they had to develop a project based upon an animal (they chose the possum) and prepare a presentation and poster.

Participants in the Pavilion Restora-tion and Mural Project

Students from Sandringham College VCAL program,

Grecia and Brendan ( photo top right Page 5)came along at the last minute and spoke about this project as the scheduled speaker Krystal had to go off and be signed up to the Carlton WAFL team. Despite being last minute stand-ins they did an excellent job in describing how the benefits of this project. Particularly how it bought together students who barely knew each other into a well functioning team and how the result has not been vandalised since the restoration (photo bottom Page 5).

RYLA candidate 2017

Paaromita Chakravarty

Paaro spoke with great passion about her RYLA experience. She entered the week with no understanding of what was to come but left feeling that it had clarified the future focus of her life. She believes it is a wonderful experi-ence for anyone at a transitional stage of their life; at what ev-er age.

As well as the actual event thay had to raise the funds to participate.

The event hosted 119 teams from 50 countries with a total of around 1200 participants.

The team clearly found the whole event a won-derful experience and are already preparing an entry for next years competition.

DRAMATIC LITERATURE An abandoned theatre finds new life as a bustling bookstore. Photographer Thomas Martin McShane says, "This inspirational example of urban develop-ment done right, nestled deep in Buenos Aires' inner city, is now a popular place to relax, enjoy a coffee and flick through the pages of books old and new, and is, without question, one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world."
