Hi all
By now you should know that there was no meeting last night. Hopefully none of you turned up and wasted your petrol.
We are all missing our get togethers so Chris, Andrew and I are getting organised to set up “ZOOM” meetings so that we can all “meet” and see and chat with each other.
Earlier today I sent out an email detailing the equipment you will need to fully participate.
Conference Ride
Amount raised for the Ride is $1289.90. and Most have paid. The funny $9.90 is there because I donated $10 using our Square Card reader and the merchant fee was 10 cents
I am pirating an article from the Mount Eliza Bulletin by DG Elect Mark Humphries
Hopefully Mark you won't sue for breach of copyright.

Well, we are all in uncertain times. There is a wealth of information out there, we need to ensure we heed the advice that is from the authoritative sources.
What can we do as a club? That is a club decision. We are a service club, we can continue to function, BUT we need to do things differently. We don’t need to meet face-2-face, we can meet online, we could setup a WhatsApp group, we could run webinars and broadcast these across our District. We can run different projects online, we can fundraise online. We are limited by our imagination. I certainly don’t have the answers, but I would encourage everyone to start thinking outside the square. Let’s start a discussion. Would you like to start a WhatsApp group? How about we meet online sooner rather than later and have a discussion.
There is no right or wrong at present, we need to think as a collective and work on a solution, we are a service organisation, we do good in the community, our challenge is how can we still do this? I throw you the challenge, help me. email me mark.humphries@rotary9820.org.au
Lets be bold, remember Rotary Connects the World and Rotary Opens Opportunities. How are we going to grasp this Opportunity

Breaking News!* - Apparently the first person in Melbourne has died because of the Coronavirus. In his house they found 1000 cans of food, 50 kilos of pasta, 80 kilos of rice, 300 toilet rolls and 50L of hand sanitiser which he had panic purchased from the supermarket and stock piled "just in case".
The whole lot collapsed and buried him.
