President's Report
Dear Members,
 
Pubs, cafes and our FARMERS MARKET are set to open in coming weeks - it's looking likely that the FM scheduled for 30 May 2020 will go ahead.  Thank you to Ian Salek and Rob Winspear for the hours of work you have put in liaising with the City of Boroondara and now completing the safety plan required to comply with the COVID-19 precautions.

Peter Harries Meeting Presentation On Retaining Walls
As is often the case, on Tuesday evening 12th May our Glenferrie Rotary Zoom Meeting proved that Club Members, more often than not, provide very different and interesting presentations.
 
Our own Peter Harries gave an interesting talk on how earth retaining walls work. We pass them daily without realising the technology behind them to keep them upright.  The construction technique used today goes back 3000 years when the ancient Babylonians built ziggurats using  papyrus reed in layers on structures still evident today.  Babylon is now part of modern day Iraq.

Club's Rotary 100 Project has Personal Meaning for Hugh Bucknall
Hugh Bucknall of the Rotary Club of Melbourne is the Team Leader for the Australia and New Zealand Rotary 100 Project, which marks the 100th Anniversary of the establishment of Rotary in Australia and New Zealand. Hugh wrote to the club to congratulate the consortium of clubs engaged on the Boroondara project, Glenferrie, Hawthorn, Camberwell and Canterbury, which he described as modelling perfectly the values of the Rotary 100 program, including community partnership, Rotary clubs working collaboratively, long-term sustainable value and the opportunities to promote and grow Rotary. But Hugh also had a personal story about the increasingly significant site of our project, Yarra Bank Reserve.

Give the mainstream a miss and tune in to Rotary Radio 3WBC 94.1FM The Voice of the Inner East, for interesting interviews, great music and lively commentary.

Board Meeting Via ZOOM 
The Club Board has been meeting successfully via ZOOM during the current health emergency
Just as club meetings via Zoom have been highly successful, the Club's Board meetings have proven to be highly effective, enablinq the dedication of quality time to the consideration of matters raised. Could this be the way things are done, even when the Covid-19 pandemic has retreated?
 
The more things change, the more they stay the same?
As plans were being worked on to set up Rotary in Australia and New Zealand one hundred years ago, the world was facing a surprisingly familiar problem, a dangerous global pandemic.
 
With thanks to Peter Harries, for his reflections from isolation!
