The Hole in One is Happening!!
Nicole Larter spoke to the Hole-in-One “Supervisor’s Information Booklet” and indicated that a copy would be emailed by Paul Atack to all involved. She also drew attention to the “2022 HIO Induction Checklist” which would also be emailed to all and which needed to be completed before doing duty.
Peter Reeve spoke about the loss of Hole-in-One Committee Members, especially his “Partner in Crime” over many years, Ralph, but emphasised that despite the difficulties, there was a determination to carry on. He urged all to read and understand the booklet about which Nicole had spoken, and emphasised the need to fill the supervision roster, especially up to 6 January when we will next meet. He announced a working bee at the H-in-1 site at 8.30 a.m. on Monday 20 December and urged members to attend.

He also mentioned that St Vincent de Paul have an arrangement with the Mahogany Motel for a discounted rate to assist those in urgent need of accommodation.

President Cliff with Commander Allan Wood, celebrating the delivery of two Personal Water Craft (PWC). The purchase of the PWC’s was the Rotary Club of Warrnambool Easts R100 project. In partnership with the Rotary Club of Warrnambool, who took the lead role in funding raising, funds were raided to purchase the PWC’s.On the PWCs there is a need to install lights and signage. Warrnambool Coast Guard [WCG] is very appreciative of our work and our donation. The shed is where we will have a plaque on it and all donors will be acknowledged. There will be an official handover in front of the media and the WCG will organise that day.
As part of the celebration of 100 years of Rotary Service in Australia, Rotary Clubs were asked to identify projects of lasting benefit to the community and these projects would be completed as part of the celebration.
The Rotary Club of Warrnambool East is supporting an initiative at Lake Pertobe in Warrnambool to be used in the development of an Indigenous meeting place of cultural significance, containing paved areas with sculptures and totems, ground works containing indigenous plants and a curved stone seating area surrounding a metal bowl to be used for ceremonial purposes. This area will be open to all and will be constructed on a small island within the northern end of the Lake Pertobe area. This project is being funded in conjunction with Warrnambool Daybreak Rotary, the Rotary Club of Warrnambool Central, the Warrnambool City Council and the Victorian Government our contribution being $5,000.
Mobile BBQ Trailer
The mobile BBQ is completely self sufficient and can operate at powered and non-powered locations.
It has stainless steel fixtures including benches and sink, two six burner hot plates, bain-maries, water tank, hot water supply and a fridge.
The Rotary Club of Warrnambool has been catering for community events, both large and small, for many years and has a reputation of providing quality food at competitive prices as well as efficient and friendly service.
Due to Hole in One Commitments the RCWE cannot commit to BBQ's in January 2022.
