Message from the President
Dear members,
 
My "cabin fever" reached a peak this week - my self diagnosed remedy was two days flat chat in the garden.  Now, whilst the garden has never looked so good - I am on Voltaren tablets and ointment several times a day for back muscle strain.  Ouch!!    How are you managing these changed circumstances?    Do you have stories to share - are you having candlelit dinners at home with food and wine delivered from your favourite restaurant?    There is an opportunity at the start of our zoom meeting on Tuesday to share your self isolation coping strategies.  You can either email them (with or without photos) to Mark or share them personally.

Boroondara Cares Secures Funding for CHANCES
Members will be interested to know  that the Boroondara Cares Foundation has just been granted $44,500 for its Education CHANCES Program  by the Baker Foundation. This is to act as a replacement for the funding BCF would have received from the hard work put in by members to make the Boroondara Farmers Market the success that,  up to date, it has been whilst we are in the midst of our Public Health Crisis. The Baker Foundation grant, also has an allowance for donations we don't expect to receive from our other member clubs because of the forced cessation of their fund-raising activities.

ClubRunner Corner
ClubRunner is the club's new administration and communication software and once you get used to it, you will love it. The software now adopted by the club is fully integrated with the  District 9800 database and MyRotary, and replaces both Streamscape and Ri-Cas, as well as the need to update MyRotary membership data separately. Each week I will put in a ClubRunner tip to help you gain familiarity with your new software. This week, the tip is around inputting phone numbers into your Member Profile, and why you should download the ClubRunner App to your mobile.

The erstwhile webmaster of the Rotary Club of Glenferrie has unashamedly admitted to stealing ideas from Sweden and, in the process, has made new friends through Rotary's international network. Thak Malmö!

Did you get an unexpected email from Robert Hogan?
Did you get an email from Robert Hogan telling you that you had been rostered on for the Farmers Market in May, and wonder why? The cause is the uploading of the existing rosters to ClubRunner from the previous spreadsheet that was set up on Google Drive. Robert has reported that he has had some replies demanding to know why he was sending emails about rosters in the middle of a pandemic.
