“Do what is right, not what is easy nor what is popular.” So, states Roy T. Bennett, author of “ The Light in the Heart”. We can only hope that our Leaders are doing the right thing and we must adhere to their directions. Hence, another lockdown for Victorians. However, I am in constant contact with my Indonesian colleagues, who are overwhelmed by the delta variant. Claus Bogh’s brother in law in Jakarta has recently died at 45 years of Covid complications. The threat is real. I have heard of many of my friends’ relatives dying of Covid over there. Finally, I am fully vaccinated.
The club is under the zoom influence for the time being. I hope that my second term of office is not hampered too much by these lockdowns, but we are continuing our programs as best we can. The Farmer’s Market is still full steam ahead and we need your assistance in volunteering. Also, the Salvo’s bread run is an easy way to be involved in our community.
August 8th – We need volunteers for this event. Commencing at noon on August 8th, there will be the grand official opening of the Yarra Bank reserve playground by the Mayor of Boroondara Garry Thompson and Rotary District 9800 Governor 2021-2022 Dale Hoy. We are celebrating the installation of a unique Rotary Interactive Play Sculpture. This is our Super Cluster achievement to mark the 100 years of Rotary in Australia. All our 4 clubs will be involved – Glenferrie, Hawthorn, Camberwell and Canterbury. We wish to make it a family day with entertainment for all.
