NEXT MEETING
 

There will be no meeting next week due to Changeover Dinner on 1st July

NGSE IS STARTING AGAIN - HOSTS NEEDED!
After a two-year COVID imposed break we are resuming where we left off with the New Generations Service Exchange program. You might remember Lotta Rink, the talented young Bassoonist who had to go home early thanks to the pandemic.
 
Nevertheless, in July this year two young Australian opera singers, Louise Keast and Michael Dimovski, will be heading off to Bavaria where they will be hosted by German Rotary families for around 6 weeks. They will be participating in the Bayreuth Young Artist’s Festival, attending master classes, and in Michael’s case, performing at the D1950 District Conf.

GLEN EIRA - END OF THE ROAD
Hello to all our friends,
 
Sadly the Glen Eira Rotary Club will cease all activities and retire our Rotary Charter at the end of the financial year. 
 
After many years of service to our local community and internationally through Rotary  International, we want to leave on a high note, so we will be celebrating the club and remembering all the good times and probably a few not so good times with our members and friends. 
 
It would be wonderful if you could joins us.

SECOND BITE - ENDING FOOD WASTE
 
ENDING FOOD WASTE IS KEY TO OUR FUTURE
Rotary Food Waste & the Environment - Luncheon
Rotary with its partners, the Sofitel & the City of Melbourne, are proud to promote awareness of and positive outcomes for our environment.  “The Environment” has recently been adopted as an area of focus by Rotary International.
 
As a club of action in advocating for environmental stewardship, the Rotary Club of Melbourne has worked closely with the non-profit food rescue organisation - SecondBite - in the fight against food waste. The issue of reducing food waste  has been brought into even sharper focus by the Covid-19 pandemic, with statistics showing that roughly one-third of the food produced globally is either lost or wasted every year.
 
You and your colleagues are warmly invited to attend a fundraiser for SecondBite hosted by the Rotary Club of Melbourne with its partners the Sofitel – Melbourne and the City of Melbourne.  This event features a celebrity panel discussion to raise awareness of how we can reduce food waste to benefit the environment. A portion of the ticket price plus the proceeds of the raffle will support the vital work of SecondBite.  Purchase tickets HERE.

Australian Rotary Health – the greatest Australian Rotary project
Australian Rotary Health – the greatest Australian Rotary project

Since Greg joined Rotary in Berwick 46 years ago, aged 28, it has been a large part of his life. A Rotarian with North Balwyn since 1986, Greg served as District 9800 Governor in 1991-92. He has worked as a literacy volunteer in Thailand, helped build an eye clinic in Vanuatu and led a GSE team to California. He has been MC at Rotary Conventions in Taipei and Melbourne, at the International Assembly and many district conferences, and has been RI President’s Special Rep many times in Australia and NZ.

Greg served on the Board of Australian Rotary Health for seven years, including as Chairman for three. In 2016, he created Lift the Lid on Mental Illness, a national campaign to reduce mental illness through prevention research.

Best known to older Australian audiences as Tony Benjamin, one of the cops in the long running television series Cop Shop, Greg has been a professional actor and singer since graduating from NIDA in 1967. Over the past 15 years, he has also conducted over 1,200 services as a funeral celebrant. He has just completed his first novel, a crime thriller, and intends writing much more in the coming decade.
