Presidents Report

There are a number of invitations to Rotary events in this IN GEAR for your consideration. On Friday July 26th, as was reported in the last IN GEAR, Adrian, Trish James and I attended the member-ship Seminar where we were asked to say how we achieved 6 new members. What was not reported was that District lost over 60 members at the end of the Rota-ry year and as it has no age demographics it is difficult to predict how natural age attrition will continue to im-pact. We happily have lowered our average age margin-ally and need to keep on attracting members who will do this. The trip out and back in Car with James and Trish was the highlight. I attended Mordialloc Changeover Night on Tuesday 30th July. It is a small Club but it had a great atmos-phere. They clearly have a lot of fun together as we do. I think we should seriously consider following up on the Rebecca Bartlett and Vicki Worland talks last week. Views to Board please through Directors. At the District Indigenous Support Committee on Wednesday the Global Grant Project with RC Felbach caused a lot of excitement and we already look like hav-ing at least two clubs joining in substantially. District are also considering have MITS present at the District Con-ference next year. I had an interesting meeting with Ray Lewis the driving force behind MESAC. The MESAC Project, which is now in its 6th year is a dual Beaumaris Yacht Club and the MESAC venture, the BYC maintaining its current needs and footage, and MESAC sharing some of that space and having its own new top floor, all within the current concreted areas and height. The current situation, after the preparation of a compre-hensive business plan by MESAC, followed up two years later, by a joint Department of Environment/ Bay-side Council funded, independent study, by an Alastair Grounds, (positive outcome), and then another two years later, for State and Government to take a further step in effecting a comprehensive Scoping study. This is well

afoot and Ray expects a positive response before year's end, and if so, the project will be go ahead. Suggested areas of Bayside Rotary involvement :

1. A public support programme after the conclusion of the Scoping Study ( End of Year) 2. A ‘fit out’ fund raiser for the MESAC centre ( thousands not millions of dollars) 3. Some future volunteering support with

others like Bayside U3A for MESAC’s day to day running until we can fund a part time manager.

I see this as a possible Bayside Rotary project to be discussed with the other Bayside Clubs. I would love to hear more views from our Club. We had a great meeting last Thursday with a num-ber of Partners and Guests to hear Matt Kamienski tell us about 2019 Presidents cup at Royal Mel-bourne. He also brought the Cup and many of us had photo's taken with Cup. Next Thursday we have Joy Meeting on the Mus-ings of a 10 Pound and Poetry. She was a great hit at recent U3A event.

This Weeks Speaker: KMATT KAMIENSKI Matt Kamienski, is a Vice President with the PGA TOUR and Executive Director of The Presidents Cup. Kamienski is responsible for the strategic development, revenue generation/management, operational management and overall leadership of the Presidents Cup event when staged internationally. Kamienski’s 20-plus year career with the PGA TOUR has seen him hold oversight roles of nine previous Presidents Cup events, serving as Execu-tive Director since 2011. He has also been an integral part of some of golf’s most prestigious tournaments, with leadership roles across the World Golf Championships events and with the World Cup of Golf. Matt gave a fascinating talk explaining the significance of the Presidents Cup and gave a glimpse of the organisa-tion happening leading up to the event at Royal Mel-bourne this December. It promises to be an exciting week for Melbourne! Matt has been living in Beaumaris for the past couple of years leading up to the tournament. It will likely be a long time before it hits our shores again.

Svalbard, Norway, is an archipelago near the North Pole, with terrain full of glaciers and ice caves. Here, a sci-entist works his way out of a deep verti-cal cave also called a moulin. He and his team map the caves to under-stand how water flows through glaci-ers-- which leads to sea level rise.
