Last Week's
Meeting
Club Plan
PP Tracey – Street Soccer was
successful with 12 attendees on Sunday. It is still not too late to
volunteer for the Homeless World Cup in late November.
Some members indicated
interest but felt it was too early to commit definitively.
PP Gordon – YAA has exhibition
for “Hard Yards” company – will advise details shortly. ...

Gabe's Message
DG
Jim's message in The Networker suggests that "the honeymoon is
over"; I am not so sure. For Southbank, I don't believe we had
a "honeymoon" period - nor did we need it. This Rotary year,
we hit the ground running! Our first event this year - the
Presidential Changeover Dinner - was both a fundraising and a
fellowship event. On the very first day of this Rotary year,
Southbank raised over $5,000 to kick start the year. This was
followed by a good attendance at the D K Lee cocktail party and the
Club Plan and Club Assembly to follow. But it wasn't all just
turning up at meetings. ...

Changes to the Bulletin
Welcome to our new Editor
Please join us in welcoming Bettina Harlos as our new Editor - she
will begin her editorial role in the coming editions of The
Southbanker (or whatever we'll call it next?). I am sure
Bettina will bring a breath of fresh air to this already exciting
publication.
Next Week's Meeting
Please note that Next Week's Meeting (5 August) will
be at the MCEC. More details to come.

Young Achievement Australia (YAA) 2008
The Rotary Club of Southbank is, once again, supporting the
mentoring of a group of students in the YAA program.
We are partnering with the RC Melbourne to fund and provide mentors
for this very worthwhile youth development program. This is an
important project for our Club and we want to make sure that we are
well represented with mentors.
The timeframe for the program has yet to be set, however it is
anticipated that it will commence after Easter.
This year our YAA company will have a convenient meeting location,
in the heart of the city, at:
The CASS Foundation
Level 2, 111 Collins Street
If you are interested in participating as a mentor,
please contact
Gordon.
Please note: all mentors will be required to
have a
'Working with Children' card - see Gordon for details.

DG Jim Studebaker's Weekly Message
(Issue 4, 21 July 2008)
July
is
Change Over Month
"Fundraising & Leadership"
In the
parlance of a recently elected politician or first season AFL
coach…. ‘the honeymoon is over and it’s time to get to work’.
The many good
projects of Rotary certainly emanate from inspiration, planning
fellowship and organisation. But in many cases the ultimate
dreams can’t be met without an organised program of acquiring
and distributing funds. Fundraising is often the "real" part of
Making Dreams Real’. ...
