Presidential Musings for the Week

“The Rotary Year’s end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us.  Cheers to a new Rotary Year and another chance for us to get it right” – With apologies to Ophray Winfrey!

Yes – This is my last ‘musings’ for the 2020-1 Rotary Year. There have been a few disappointments but incredible achievements in this difficult year past.  I hope the ‘wisdom’ of our experience over the last year will forge a better year for all of us.

My Sydney mates, who joked at our expense on lockdown, are now experiencing the difficulties us Victorians have been through. We wish them every success in conquering the COVID-19 menace since ‘we are all in this together’.

Sponsor a Child in the Vo Thanh district Vietnam
It is now almost 2 years since Glenferrie Rotary made the decision to support and sponsor the Vo Thanh district of Vietnam as part of the wider Rotary established Vietnam Communities Support (VCS) program, chaired by Rowan McClean. Unfortunately, the opportunities for support and certainly any visiting has been limited by COVID but the need undoubtedly remains.
We have supported the community in many ways.  The most recent project the VCS is undertaking is the arranging for the sponsoring of children with the particular objective of allowing them to attend school. Currently over 40 kids receive such sponsorship.

Rotary Glenferrie has been advised that there are presently 3 children in particular who need such sponsorship (these 3 do not have parents so must work in fields for food and living) and we are all invited to sponsor one of these children.

Hats off to Rotary Glenferrie - A Great Initiative
It was during the long lockdown that Rotarian Elisabeth Dumonic came up with a creative way of raising money for Australian Rotary Health’s Lift the Lid on Mental Health during Mental Illness Awareness week. It was a ZOOM presentation of selfies taken of people wearing funny hats. A $5 minimum donation was required to have a selfie in the presentation.

Vale Bernie Gerlinger
Many Glenferrie Rotarians who have been active in Rotary will know Bernie and Marjorie Gerlinger, who were pillars of their club, the Rotary Club of Central Melbourne, and of District 9800 for many years. This month Bernie Gerlinger passed away in Queensland, where he and Marjorie had been living for the past few years. Bernie Gerlinger gained the friendship and earned the respect of all who knew him, for his integrity, generosity, genuine commitment and huge contribution to Rotary and Rotary programs over many years. This tribute to Bernie and to Marjorie appeared in the most recent edition of their club bulletin.  Click here to read the tribute to Bernie.
