CLUB NEWS

 

ZOOM MEETING ETIQUETTE & HOW TO JOIN

I imagine for some Members who may feel isolated and not "tech savvy", you may be curious about ZOOM on Computer and IPad but haven't tried it yet.  It is simple even in "isolation" to "meet" on a Wednesday at 1.00 pm in fellowship with Rotary Melbourne.  Last week, I counted 75 Members, (Jo says 61), but I've always been one for exaggeration!

 

 

 

'WHERE ARE THE R100 SOCKS?'

HON SEC. PREPARES FOR ZOOM MEETING

Editor can't see his R100 Socks but trust he is wearing them as he soberly prepares for our ZOOM Meeting!

 

 

 

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF AN R100 SOCK!

SUNRISE by ROBERT FISHER

"......One of my business colleagues said the other day “I think God wants to have a conversation with us”. The amazing sunrise sky I captured on my walk yesterday seems to speak to the same comment!"  Thanks Robert for pic which Bulletin reprocessing is not doing justice to this amazing sunrise.

 

 

OUR DEAR FRIEND MANOEL

Robert Fisher sent Editor the following email and update from our highly respected Manoel Felipe (Rotary Santa Cruz, Brazil). who is a staunch supporter of Rotary Melbourne.

 

TOPICAL NEWS

THIS IS A BIG ISSUE

Thank you Jo Mavros for sending Editor the attached letter from "The Big Issue".  It is overwhelming to look outside our own isolation presently.  The following though is the reality for some vulnerable people ... Maybe you can assist "The Big Issue"?
