District support is sought. Dromana College to nominate the students. Members to look for their annual dues invoice. The treasurer would be grateful for prompt payments Terry raised questions about exchange students. Adrian said that there were a number of Rotary programs that are suffering. Chris said that student exchanges have probably run its course. Greg collected a bucket for the lift the lid program. He said we should leave buckets around shops for people to put their change in. Robert Alexander said he could provide more buckets if required. Hillview project: There needs to be a fence to restrict bike riders from riding close to the picnic area. The next project to build a jump park. Rick asked to consider how to do lotto and fines in future . The Halloween event was raised by Mark. Greg has sent a notice of intention. Andrew questioned whether we are able to paint the fence at the Dromana Community House. It seems that it is undecided. One argument is that we should assist these groups who are assisting the community’s welfare The other argument is that this is not an essential service, then it should not be held during the Covid lockdown. Rick gave an excellent “man behind the badge” presentation. He told us of his early childhood and travel to Australia; has marriage to Carol; his early days with the PMG and with the Webster Computer Corporation and his art gallery. Who knew he wished to fly around without an engine? How brave was Carol! And finally here is a zoom image of the members at the last meeting.
