Our speaker last week was Paul Craig. Paul is a member of the RC of Sunbury and gave a Member Behind the Bagdge talk. It is always great to hear of great stories that our own members can relate.

Service Above Self was certainly in affect at the Phillip Island Moto GP last weekend. I was very proud to see a large number from our club donating their time for the Friday, Saturday and Sunday. They all worked very hard in some very bad weather conditions but they all came back smiling and happy. Well done to you all! This will be a yearly event to raise money for the RCH. Other clubs joined us to raise money for their projects. Mt Waverley and Bacchus Marsh were in full action in the bad weather conditions. I have received great reports from them and they were very happy with the weekend. red and myself will personally visit their clubs to donate money for their projects. Well done to all involved.

A great meeting was had by all when our DG, Brian Peters, attended our club meeting on 22nd October. We also welcomed our AG, Kaye Gauci. Kaye always enjoys our clubs company. We had a good crowd and a fun night. Brians talk on Polio was very informative. It is great to see our club members so relaxed and fun loving.

Our speaker last week was Jeb Summers, President of Save our Services Australia. He spoke on mental health issues in the services. What a brave and inspiring young man to speak about his own personal issues on mental health. He served in Afghanistan and returned to Australia in 2009. He was left with anxiety problems and will probably never overcome these issues. As it is Rotary Mental Health month in October, Jeb fitted our speaker selection perfectly. Every Rotarian wore a hat as it was our hat night. Some funny, some not so funny but we all got into the spirit of it all. .
