PRESIDENT~S REPORTROTARlAN BRYAN McMAHON

1992-93[n presenting the 68th Annual Report of the Rotary Club of

Bendigo, I thank the members for the honour and privilege to bePresident of such a wonderful Club. The role of President givesyou a deeper understanding of Rotary International, your localcommunity, the members and their contribution to so manyorganisations.

You experience at first hand the commitment of Rotarians tothe Rotary ideal of "Service "above Self" where previously youmay have questioned their Rotary involvement. You experience

Iso the joy and happiness gi en to a many people by Rotary,such as at the Christmas Party at Sternberg Lodge, morning teaat th Bendigo Special Development School, or the launching ofa book for Adult Uteracy.

Th highlight of the year was the Rotary InternationalConvention in Melbourne, attended by almost 22,000 Rotariansand partners. The magnihtde of the projects of Rotary Internationalwas on show, enthusing all in attendance to return to theircommunities to work harder for peace, friendship and sharing.Our Club hosted a fellowship evening, attended by 10 Rotarians from oth r countries.

Hosted by the Rotary Club of EagIehawk, the Country Conference at Ballarat was a great success. DistrictGovernor for 1992-93, Gordon McKern, is a member of Eagl hawk Club, and it was a pleasure to work withGordon and his wife Anita.

Our Annual fund-raising projects such as the Easter Art Show and Pottery Exhibition, Carols byCandlelight, Golf Day and Charity Dinner Auction operate each year with xp rience and precision gainedover many years. Funds from these projects have been distributed to the Bone Marrow Rese rch Institute andDonor Registry, Motor Neurone Society, Anne Caudle Centre, Bendigo Special Development School, andour own Youth Camp at Axedale.

The Youth Camp is a major asset for the Club, but some amenities were in need of updating and repair.This was done with a number of working bees, repairing buildings, fences and roofing. The observatory is nowcompleted, awaiting the arrival of a suitable telescope, due early in July. Grants totalling $4,350 were receivedfrom the Department of Youth, Sport and Recreation. and the Myer Foundation to build the observatory.Sandhurst Trustees have made fund available to purchase the telescope.

The Club made the camp available on two occasions fr e of charge to Interchange, where children withdisabilities enjoyed what was escribed as "one of the best experiences we have ever had in Interchange".

Thanks to th Bendigo Trust for allowing the Easter Art Show Committee to erect a shed at the repr ofthe Tram Depot, giving a permanent home at last for the stands and shelving.

My thanks are extended to members of the Board, who gave direction and Ie dership to the Club. Thestrength of the Club revolves around our members, who now number 109 and average almost 80%attendance. Your support and friendship will always be a treasured memoryof my year as President. The Club'sbest wishes go to President for 1993-94, Brian Kinross and his wife Coral, who have put much thought andplanning into the year ahead.

The Rotary Club of Bendigo needs a bold, new challenge. We have allowed 68 years of proud Rotaryinvolvement and history to take precedence over innovation and activity. We could do more for our communityof Bendigo to boost its economy and employment, utilising the talents, skills, lateral thinking and vision availablewithin our membership. Let us playa vital role in a project that will lead Bendigo into the 21 st Century, showingthat "Real Happiness is Helping Others".

Bryan McM hon

President 1992-93

CLUB SERVICE REPORT Director: RON POYSER

ATfENDANCE - (Chairperson: Garry Gunnell)Club attendance for the year will be equal to past years average of approximately 79-80%. Considering

the pressures on a numb r of members, both business and financial, this has been a good result. On the downside, some members have fallen below the 60% attendance requirement.

Emphasis is placed on good attendance because it is recognised that to remain an effective Rotarian. amember must experience the good fellowship of the weekly m etings and be involved in the Club's progressand projects. Remember one of the obligations accepted when joining Rotary was to meet the attendancerequirements.

A number of members have achieved attendance percentages above 90%. Indeed an excellent result.Special congratulations go to the 10 Club members with 100% attendance for the year.

PROGRAM - (Chairperson: Geoff Mcleod)Reflecting on the speakers that the Committee has organised for the past ear, I feel that we have been

successful in arranging an interesting range of people with a broad cross sectional appeal.

We have had some high profile speakers such as Hal Hallinstein - The Stat Coroner and Derek Morristhe New Zealand Consul General, complemented by a large number of Speakers from Charitable non-profitorganisations.

An Area we have deliberately promoted is the speakers from the larger employers within the City of Bendigowho have a significant influence on the Bendigo economy.

It isn't an easy task to develop a program format that appeals to all members of the Club, but generally Ifeel that the program has been diversified and at no time repetitive.

BUll.ETlN - (Chairperson: Col Bums)Production and content of the Bulletin this year was very much along the lines of that f the past. Weekly

publication, preparation and typing by the editor, printing by Richard Cambridge Printers, and delivery by postto Members' homes proved to be a successful formula for the Bulletin.

The Editor wishes to express sincere thanks to Bruce Willliamson for the production of mailing labels, ValMoyle for provision of the duties roster, Richard Cambridge Printers for their cheerful and efficient service,and to all Members who have offered articles and advice throughout the year

While the'production and distribution of our Bulletin was achieved at a cost significantly greater than themajority of Clubs in our district, the expenditure is considered worthwhile. A reduction in the cost would requirea lowering of the standard of production or an alteration of the method of distribution to one in which Membersreceive their Bulletins at the weekly meeting. Such changes are not recommended. To some extent,assessments of our Club are made by oth rs, on the basis of our Bulletin, therefore, the standard of our Bulletinshould reflect the high standard ofour Club. The forewarning of Membersof Club activities, and the involvementof partners resulting from home delivery of the Bulletin definitely warrants our expenditure on postage.

ON-TO-CONFERENCE - (Chairperson: Frank Nott)I am pleased to report the Country Conference in Ballarat this year was a great success and a big

congratulations to the Eaglehawk Club for a job well done. What a huge task for a small club to take on andaccomplish it so professionally.

A good response was given by our members with 17 Rotarians plus partners attending.

Highlights of the conference were many, including world class keynote speakers Dr Eve esl,Professor Kee, E1izebeth Proust, Terry Dwyer and Haikai Tane.

All attenders en'oyed one of Rotary's great functions which, hopefully, will become even more supportedby our members in coming years.

FEUOWSHIP - (Chairperson: Kevin Reilly)We have been fortunate this year to have had several Fellowship Functions run by othe.r Rotary Clubs. Those

who accepted the invitations and attended these functions had a great time.

•

•

I especially congratulate the Inner Wheel for their very successful Progressive Dinner, and the EaglehawkRotary Club for their great Outdoor Dinner. The "Great Escape" held at Hanging Rock and organised by agroup of Rotary Clubs from our District. to me was an excellent fellowship program.

Our own DinnerWith A Difference was a great social night and enjoyed byall. The night meetings at M yfairPark and Southern Cross 1V were very informative and well accepted.

Many thanks to the Fellowship Committee for their efforts.

MEMBERSHIP DEVELOPMENT - (Chairperson: Colin Nankervis)The members of the Committee have worke hard to extend the fellowship of Rotary to 15 new members

during this past Rotary year, representing a 14% increase in new members.

In a club of our size. due to work transfers and other commitments, the number leaving the Club has been8, resulting in a nett membership increase of 7 new members, with membership now 109.

The committee has aimed to introduce members from varying vocations so that the Club prospered withideals from the new vocations.

Many and varied means have been used during the ear to identify prospective members to broaden theClub's membership base, however the most satisfying avenue of membership development is when an existingClub member identifies and introduces a new member to the Club.

ROTARY INFORMATION - (P.P. Chairperson: Denis Potter)Major activity of the Rotary Information Committee has involved contribution ofarticles for the Club Bulletin

designed to provide information on general Rotary matters and explanation of specific aspects of Rotary. Newmembers who joined in the first half of the Rotary year had been former members of other Rotary Clubs, sothere was little requirement for speci I infomlation sessions.

The policy to allocate new members to committees that were engaged in major activities at their time ofjoining resulted in the new members gaining knowledge an valuable experience of Rotary immediately onbecoming members. Fellowship combined with Club business and information imparted at the weekly meetingshas worked to give all members a real sense of belonging to Rotary.

The Club Bulletin and regular distribution of 'Rotary Down Under' serve as very useful items of Rotaryinformation.

HISTORY - (Chairperson: Bruce Williamson)During this year the History Committee has continued its work of filing, after collating, newly acquired

records of the Club's activities. The continued endeavours of the Committee members are gradually refiningand improving the value of records. This has been made po sible by the co-operation of members, who arecontinually locating lost, or misplaced and tored, Rotary papers, photographs and memorabilia. Our sourceof materials is from retiring office bearers, but individual members and family of members often produce veryinteresting items from numerous sources. The regular monthly meetings of this Committee will continue toprovide service to th Club in providing an organised file of all Club history .

SERJEANT-AT-ARMS - (Chairperson: Bernie Segrave)I believe this year was a very successful one for the Serjeant-at-Arms Committee. We introduced new

members throughout the year and also enjoyed some experienced perfom1ers:

Val Broad - First Lady Serjeant. Excellent performance.Eri Pascoe - Certainly brought a new depth to the role.Norm Phillips - Experience showed through.Geoff Mcleod - Mr Reliable.Hal Moors - A delight to see the older era again.David Brown - Mr Photo - watch this space.Ron Lake - Has taught us all a lot.Bernie Segrave - Phantom performances.

Very pleasing to have the financial budget exceeded.

A sincere "thank you" to all on the Committee for their unselfish assistance throughout the year.

COMMUNITY SERVICE REPORT Director: HUGH WHEELER

1993 EASTER ART SHOW - (Chairperson: Michael Boyd)Another successful Art Show was conducted at Easter this year with a Gross Profit of over $13,000. This

was a fine result in a recession and represents a just reward for many years of effort to build our reputation forrunning an efficient, professional Art Show.

I! was a pleasure to work with, and be guided by, "Dads Army" throughout the year. After many years oftalking we finally built a shed to house our collection of Art ShowequipmenHocale at the Bendigo Tram Depot.Building Site Foreman, Ken Hesse, and his team spent many hours to construct an asset for the Rotary Clubof Bendigo that has en needed for years. Because of the effort of our volunteer builders we were able to putthe shed up for less than $2,000.

The ommitment to efficient operation of the Art Show by members like Hal Moors, Allan Dingle, RayDO~'Tley, Bruce Beasley, Ken Hesse, Ron Wilkinson and Ron Meurer is a fine example to apprentices likDenise Price, Brian Kinross, Bryan McMahon, Barry Penna and myself. It is also pleasing (and necessary) tohave the full upport of all members of the Art Show Committee and the Club during Easter 10 continue tooperate the biggest and most successful Art Show in Regional Victoria

Next year we hope to continue to develop further sponsorship, increase the overall prize value tinks anda premium function on Easter Thursday will be an added attraction.

CAROLS BY CANDLEUGHT - (Chairperson: Valerie Broad)Q. Was the 1992 Carols by Candletight presentation successful?

In an endeavour to provide improved audio and visual for our patrons the Committee decided to rial thisyear's Carols by Candlelight at the Tom Flood Sports Centre. We were aware that this was a decision fraughtwith difficulties, but in true Rotary spirit decided to "dare to be diff rent".

Months of painstaking work covering all aspects of the change provided members of the Committee withchallenge, and, by December, everything was in place for a wonderful program of entertainment.

However, the planned change was not to be! One of the worststonns in memory lashed Bendigo. Therewas drenching, driving rain, high winds, lightning, thunder - ven hail. The Tom Flood Sports Centre lived upto its name and became "The Tom Rood Lake". Fortunately we had alternative plans in place and were ableto move to the Bendigo Stadium in Marong Road. Committee members feared that people would not attendthe Carols on such a dangerous, unpleasant night. But ... we were completely astonished.

Over 3,000 sodden, drenched patrons attended. The Stadium was filled with excited, expectant patrons,all eagerly and enthusiastically prepared to participate in the Carols night. All the artists were able to be present,with the exception of two of the Bendigo Youlh Choir who were marooned by floodwaters - one at Heathcoteand the other at Mandurang.

Entertainment was provided by dance troups, youthful drummers, vocal soloists, "Fro ty the Snowman",and Father Christmas in his sleigh drawn by eight magnificent pure white Samoyed dogs. The Town Crier, withsuperb timing, covered the blackout caused by an electrical failure, and our ughting and Sound Techniciansresponded with almost magical speed to correct the situation. The Bendigo Youth Choir led the Carols, andthe City of Bendigo Brass Band (albeit very damp!) assisted by Pianiste, Elizabeth Paton, rovided theaccompaniments. A beautiful living Nativity Scene was staged by members of the Kangaroo Flat UnitingChurch.

As always, the Rotary Club was assisted by the generosity of many Bendigo firms and individuals. Such co­operation makes possible a professional presentation of Carols.

So, to answer the question.

Yes, the 1992 Carols by Candlelight presentation was outstandingly successful. It brought together fineartists who volunteered their services in a most generous way, and who provided a great night of Christmasentertainment. It proved beyond any doubt, that Bendigo people appreciate and will support the Annual Carolspresentation, - despite any difficulties which may occur. [t provided a very fitling introduction into the Seasonof Yuletide - and, again, it delighted hundreds of children.

Yes, indeed - an unqualified success. Roll on 1993!

POITERY EXHIBITION AND SALE - (Chairperson: Colin Frauenfelder)Rotari,ms and distinguished guests. With pride in service, Ireport another highly successful Rotary Pottery

Exhibition and Sale was conducted during Easter 1993.

Disbursements by the committee were:-

Rotary Club of Bendigo 3,204.07Rotaract Club of Bendigo $900.00Bendigo Easter Fair Society $570.41

During the four days of the exhibition some 820 available items were purchased by supportivecollectors and consumers

Appreciation of the exhibiting potters, family and friends, Rotaractors and Rotarians loyalty andcommitment is also acknowledged. The dedication of these people make the exhibition and sale a success.

The attendance of Peter Minko drew great interest and held patrons in the exhibition area. Time andadvice was freely given by Peter and Rhonda Minko in piloting the Potter in Residence concept.

Another donation by Les MacLeman's Woodstock Pottery again assisted in the financial success of theexhibition Rotary is indebted to this generosity.

To the Rotarians who, as committee members, took responsibility for specific tasks associated with theexhibition planning and staging, a personal well done and thank you.

COMMUNITY FRIENDSHIP - (Chairperson: Allan Dingle)On 12th December 1992 the Annual Christmas Party of Sternberg Lodge was held. Present were the

program participants with their parents and/or minders plus President Bryan and the Chairman of CommunityFellowship Committee. A very enjoyable program was provided and a delightful afternoon tea was presentedin an atmosphere exemplifying the Christmas spirit. The afternoon's activities were subsidized by the RotaryClub of Bendigo

The Australian Pops Orchestra performed an excellent concert at the Schweppes C ntre on 5th March1993. This concert was organised by the Bendigo Chaplaincy Committee to raise funds for the support of theChaplains in Secondary Colleges. The Community Friendship Committee assisted with the distribution of pre­performance publicity to all Bendigo State Secondary Colleges.

On 24th March 199'3 our Club sponsored a trip for the Music Group of S1. Andrew's Creative Uving toDaylesford via Vaughan Springs, returning via Castlemaine.

At Da).·!esford Hospital the Music Group, under the inspiration of their leader, Mrs Ruth Bryar, gave aconcert to the Hostel and Nursing Home residents and staff attached to the Daylesford Hospital.

The Community Friendship Committee, which organised the trip, were assisted by members of the InnerWheel Club of Bendigo, who supplied morning and afternoon teas and the Inner Wheel Club of Daylesfordwho provided a delicious lunch at Hepburn Springs in delightful weather.

Mrs Bryar has been complimented on the way she can inspire these not so well endowed people to producea performance which was enthusiastically received by a very appreciative audience.

The Clubs involved have received very nice I tters of appreciation from Mrs Bryar.

YOUTH CAMP - (Chairperson: John Flood)The Axedale Youth Camp continues to provide a worthwhile venue for some 50 camps per year, about

2,500 persons, with an annual turnover of approximately $50,000. The campsite was made available freeof charge, to Camp Breakaway for disadvantaged children and to Interchange (hosts for children withdisabilities) for 2 c mps.

This year of many changes saw the resignation of Resident Caretaker, Ray Morgan, at the end ofOctober 1992, with Club m mbers subsequently running the Camp for about 2 months before theappointment of the new Caretaker, Keith May.

Keith is ably supported by his wife, Paula, who provides Camp catering, and they have displayedconsiderable enthusiasm and competence in the management and upkeep of the C mp, with manyimprovements to the grounds and gardens, as well as the general appearance of the huts.

Many Club members participated in 2 successful working bees covering general Camp cleanup, felling ofdangerous trees, refurbishment of the kitchen, some painting work and the laying of paved pathways.

With the aim of extending Camp facilities for existing and potential users, the construction of anastronomical observatory was commenced with the observatory building being erected by Axedale local, RonKruse. A 12lfz inch Newtonian reflecting telescop with Dobsonian mount, is currently being assembled.

A major project was undertaken to remove drainage water from around huts on the site and at the sametime collect such water as an alternative water supply to the Camp, augmenting the pumped supply from theCampaspe Ri er. This work, involving piping rain water from all huts to a large new storage tank, nearscompletion.

Two dormitory huts have been refurnished with replacement beds and the kitchen is now equipped witha commercial Bain Marie foll€lwing purchases at the Girton ColIege disposal auction sale.

The above projects involved expenditures well in excess of the margin expected from the self-fundingapproach adopted for the Camp and additional ftmds were sought and gratefully received from Club members(intere -fr e loans) and with grants from the Department of Sport and Recreation and Sandhurst Trustees forthe observatory project.

Submissions have also been made to the Sidney Myer Fund and the George Pethard Tarax Foundation foradditional funding for our refurbishment projects. Donations from the Inner Wheel Club totalling $350 are alsogratefully acknowledged.

CHARITY GOLF DAY & DINNER AUCTION - (Chairperson: Brian Doherty)In my rol as chairperson of both the Golf Day and Dinner Auction Committees it is with much pleasure

that I report, firstly on a very successful Charity Golf Day held at the Bendigo Golf Club on the 6th Novemberlast year.

The profit from this day, thanks to the support of our many sponsors, donors and players, of $4,235 isto be used by the Australian Bone Marrow Donor Registry to establish a Bendigo support group.

Secondly, whilst at the time of writing this report our Charity DiTmer Auction is s!iIJ to be held, indicationsare that this will once ag in be a very successful Community Service Project.

Wi h the willing support of my committee, other members ofour club togetherwith invited friends of Rotary,and with a vast array of item to be auctioned on the night of the 19th June it is anticipated that we will raisein excess of $10,000, which is to be divided by three very deserving organisations.

SPECIAL PROJECTS COMMlTfEE - (Chairperson: Janette Ball)The Committee first looked for mon y raising ideas for a contingency fund, that is a source of funds that

could be drawn upon for unexpected donations or working capital for larger projects. This has resulted in thewine raffle being introduced. Uhas been designed to require minimal effort on a weekly basis. A new form wasdesigned by John Gallagher to eliminate the need for raffle books, and a wine tasting was held to launch theproject. Apart from some minor 0) hic ups in the first week (several draws before producing a winner, thusgiving President Bryan a hard time).

We have been in contact with the"Australia Medic Alert Foundation" in South Australia asking in what waywe can be of assistance. We have now received a box of brochures for distribution within the Bendigo area;this will take place over the next few weeks.

INTERNATIONAL SERVICE REPORT Director. STAN QUIN

This year has seen our Club enter into another rewarding year.

Highlight of our year was contact made in Northern Thailand with the Rotary Club of Paknampho in District3350 which is now our "Sister Club" and we look forward to many years of Rotary friendship and exchangingideas.

The FAI.M. team going to the Solomon lslands in July 1993, has a tot 1of eight members from our Club.The team will work with local people with cyclone repairs and rebuilding programs.

"R.O.M.A.C.·' - (Chairperson: Kevin A. Reilly)R.O.M.A.C. Committee has been extremely successful. It is now a District project and hopefully a National

project in the coming years.

Shamila a young Fijian girl, was operated on earlier in the year with the Kangaroo Flat Rotary Club pickingup the tab. Shenal, another young Fijian girl is in Australia at present. She is recovering in the Epworth Hospitalfrom h r recent operation. Already plans are in hand to bring out Jessie who is in urgent need of surgery.Members of the R.O.M.A.C. Committee are working hard to build up sufficient funds to cater for the constantstream of n edy children.

ROTARY FOUNDATION 1993 - (Chairperson: Ray Downey)A first class video showing the recent progress with the Pollo Plus and 3H program was shown to the Club.

Applications for the outgoing Group Study Exchange team were invited. Two applicants were interviewedbut the Committee did not consider them to be of sufficient standard to recommend to the District Committee.

Information regarding Ambassadorial Scholarship was forwarded to one enquirer.

To date no application has been received.

No special fund raising efforts have been made.

YOUTH SERVICE Director: RICHARD TRIGG

Youth projects took a high priority in the Club again this year and involved a large number of memberswho all competently took charge of the organising.

The ROTARACT COMMllTEE, chaired by Graham Searle, reports that the Rotaract Club completeda rewarding y ar despite unsuccessful efforts to arrest their declining membership. The Club has been veryactive in local and district levels, including the Axedale Youth Camp, Pottery Exhibitjon, Dial-a-Santa andLegacy badge sales.

yourn EXCHANGE continued to be a most rewarding program which saw the personal developmentof students, both incoming and outgoing.

Susan Kennedy (Counsellor, Denis Potter) returned from South Africa in January 1993.Riaan Van Rooyen (Counsellor. Richard Trigg) returned to Sou h Africa in January 1993.Unda Hanington (Counsellor, Undsay Faulkner) left for Brazil in January 1993.Shohei Ooka (Counsellor, Ron Lake) arrived from Japan in March 1993.

The YOlITH COMMITTEE, chaired by Ros Bradbury has been an extremely busy group this year andhas contributed to the youth of our commUnity through a ariety of activities.

The CRA National Science SummerSchool was attended by Katherine Field inCanberra. Dal Martin lookedafter Katherine throughout her involvement.

Francis Segrave, Larrie Winzar and Ray Paulsen were at the forefront in running Camp Breakaway, whichgave a group of young children an opportunity to experience a weekend at Axedale.

Bob Vanstan co--ordinaled the Rotary Yo th Leadership Award (RYIJ\) project and Richard Cooper wasselected to attend the camp at Lancefield.

Rotary again provided financial support for the preparation of the Youth Services Directory which wasdistributed to over 80 people involved in youth work.

Charlie Martin co--ordinated our involvement in the fkst Model United Nations Assembly (MUNA). JenniferCahill and Louise Truscott represented our Club and were allocated Jordan as their country.

The Rotary Youth Program of Enrichment was co--ordinated by Evan Trevorah. Kirsty Wilson attendedthis valuable weekend at Lancefield.

Throughout the whole year, there has been a common thread to all the youth activities, and that is theopportunity to expose young people to projects they would not otherwise have experienced. Watching theirpersonal development, and knowing they will share their new knowledge with others, is reward enough.

VOCATIONAL SERVICES/AWARENESS Director: FRANK GUALTIERI

The 1992/93 Rotary year saw a continuation of past successful programs such as The Em Granger andPride of Workmanship Award. In addition, job talks continued to be well supported by members called uponto impart their experience and wisdom of their vocation.

A brainstorming session by a Joint Committee meeting of Services and Awareness members resulted insome exciting ideas transpiring into successful realities such as:

- Mayfair Park Estate Tour- Channel 8 Workplace Meeting- Local Industries Success Stories

-ADI- Sandhurst Foods- Telecom

The chronic unemployment issue was also addressed especially among the youth in our community. OurClub's involvement and representation on "Work for Australia" Bendigo Regional task force, assisted in findingextra employment in Bendigo. Also the NElS Program continued to receive club support.

My thanks to all who assisted in turning the Rotary wheel from goodwill to good ideas to good works.
