It’s lovely to be back at Kooyong LTC for a Hawthorn Rotary lunch after the summer break. The meeting went as smoothly as ever, with a new member induction and a break for a Special General Meeting. A meeting with no dissent and a motion passed unanimously? Could that be a first ever?
How nice to welcome Alan Thomas to Hawthorn Rotary: Alan is a neighbour of Richard Logan, and he joins us with over twenty years of Rotary experience, knowing that a short speech is a good speech. We look forward to getting to know him, and to feel his input to our club.
Hey hey, what’s this all about: Noel McInness giving us a “Job Talk”? Did I hear a skeptic suggest he’d never worked a full day in his life? Rubbish! We all know Noel’s interest in music and The Victorian Jazz Museum, and his landmark building on Glenferrie/Riversdale (no, not the church) But martial arts? Are we sure that’s not a misprint for marital arts? Yes. he's pretty good on the dance floor. so perhaps we need Lorraine to clear it all up. We’ll hear all about it at our next meeting: with PDG Dennis Shore as Chairman, it should be a fun day.
TAVERNERS SPORTING CHANCE RAFFLE

Taverners Australia is a national network of branches covering all states and territories of Australia. We support the deaf, blind, intellectually impaired, indigenous and young girls to play sport and in particular cricket.
We “give a sporting chance” by providing financial support directly to these groups to allow them to actively participate in cricket – generally at a grass roots level.
In late 2017 we developed a strategy to significantly increase our reach and support. At the same time The Taverners were appointed Cricket Australia’s lead Community partner. We have formed a Foundation – The Taverners Foundation, which allows donors of $2 or more to claim a tax deduction for that donation.
The Taverners is made up of hundreds of volunteers across Australia with the only expenditure being the cost of running events and branches. No salaries are paid
