But it has not all been good news in 2019/20. First, we had the horrific
bush fires in Eastern Australia and SA. This led to an extraordinary David Hone

go to the RC Bairnsdale, which was distributing relief, and the Febru-

Its main income is Members’ Dues and net raffle income
(after paying for Club Guests and prizes) and it pays for
dues to District, Rotary Downunder and Rotary Interna-
tional plus the general running costs of the Club. Mem-
bers’ Dues have remained at $320pa. for the last several
years.
Higher operating costs were partly due to marketing ex-

Fundraising (Project) Account
The Club's fundraising activities and annual donations are
controlled through this account as well as all Farmers Mar-

General Comments
The year-end figures are estimates based on unaudited
accounts to the end of April.
The figures include proceeds form the Bayside Charity

A highlight of the year has been the quality of our speaker
program, thanks to Gail Anderson and Richard Potter. We
have had many wonderful evenings with high profile and
engaging speakers. For example, we had Murrundindi,
who gave us a moving ‘welcome to country’, Matt Kami-
enski who brought along the President’s Cup and Giles
Thompson who brought the Melbourne Cup. Our packed
and vibrant meetings were interspersed with an enjoyable
and varied fellowship program thanks to Richard Jones,
which included various meals, movies, bowling and a fan-
tastic night at Beaumaris theatre for the Buddy Holly Sto-
ry. We also had a packed house for a very entertaining
Christmas Party!
The Membership, Media and Marketing team continued
the great work of the past few years, with induction of new
members being a regular occurrence throughout the year,
particular thanks to James and Megan Glenwright for their
work in this area. The Club continues to run smoothly with
many members contributing to the tasks required to make
this happen. The cornerstone of the Club that keeps us all
on the same page is our weekly newsletter and thanks to
David Lea for producing this, and Max Darby for providing
the vast majority of the photos.
The latter part of the year was heavily impacted by the
COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in the cancellation of
the District Conference. Heather Chisholm had done an
excellent job in securing great accommodation and enter-
tainment and many Club members still participated in a
weekend away together. The amazing Shirley Mirams
costumes remain ready for another day however! It is at
challenging times like this though that being part of such a
supportive and caring Club come into its own, and thanks
to Mary Sealy who has coordinated the Almoner duties of
ensuring the wellbeing of all members.
After a very brief hiatus, our weekly meetings moved onto
the Zoom platform where we have continued to hear from
excellent speakers, keep in touch with Club business, and
share our experiences of life under lockdown. Greg Every
and David Lea deserve a big call out for making this hap-
pen so effectively.

Ten Beaumaris Rotary members conducted Mock Job
Interviews with fifty Victorian Certificate of Applied
Learning students at Sandringham College. This was
very well received by the students and teachers. Mem-
bers were impressed by the potential that they saw in
the students.
We supported two young people currently studying at
Monash University to attend the Rotary Youth Leadership
Awards (RYLA) program. They then attended our meeting
in December and spoke about their RYLA experience.
They both agreed that the program was very positive and
felt that they learnt skills that they would take with them into
the future.
This year we also supported three Victorian Certificate of
Education students from local secondary colleges to at-
tend National Youth Science Forum (NYSF). Two stu-
dents returned full of enthusiasm after attending the ses-
sion held in Brisbane, and proudly announced that they
have both been invited to attend the 2021 NYSF as stu-
dent leaders (photos right). Unfortunately, the session
that was to be held in Canberra was cancelled due to the
devastating bushfires and so, sadly, our third student
missed out on this fabulous program. All three students
attended our meeting in March and presented a very im-
pressive program.
With the development of the COVID-19 crisis the District
9810 Board has advised that all District Youth Programs
within this District have been cancelled until 31 March 2021.
It was then decided that our Club would not participate in
projects such as NYSF during this period.
Thank you to all the members of the Youth team for their
support during the year.
Looking into the future, we now need to consider how we
can continue our fabulous Rotary youth programs when
unexpected exigencies such as bushfires and pandemics
interrupt our plans. Individual members, and as a group,
the RCOB is a resilient Club, and we will find new ways to
serve the youth in our community.
Vivienne Zoppolato
A colourful start to the Rotary year. Fat Bob’s Bar and
Grill, all dressed up in a touch of USA. We had cowboys,
Indians, hippies, presidents, a hot dog, and even a Tesla
car. Plenty of red, white and blue! The Sealy familiar tri-
umphed in the quiz.
A testing time for creaking backs in August as we teamed
up in colours for indoor bowls. The orange team won the
priceless silver platter and skittles, and Max took some
great action shots.

their feet and sing along to Peggy Sue?
In January the country was fighting bushfires and praying
for decent rain. It just happened to arrived in spades on
the day of our golf nine and dine at Woodlands. Of course
we had a fun night complete with a weird golf rule quiz
and an enjoyable BBQ.
It was off to the movies in February with 1917 providing
absorbing yet rather grim viewing.
The largest fellowship event on our calendar is always the
annual District Conference. Heather Chisholm did a grand
job of getting us organized for golf, dinners, and a river-
boat cruise. Then along came COVID-19, the conference
was cancelled, and everything thrown into disarray.
Heather, of course, rallied and made the best of a chal-
lenging situation for all those that visited and stayed in
Echuca.
A further casualty of the pandemic was the Car Rally, with
“start your engines” available when restrictions
allow.
The Musicals Quiz and coats for the homeless
appeal was conducted via Zoom – a first for many
reasons. Another teams event – well done Red!
Importantly, more than 50 winter coats were col-
lected and donated to the Salvation Army ( photo

As usual, Beaumaris Rotary members and part-
ners showed their ability to have fun and enjoy
themselves in all circumstances!
