President's Report
This week we enjoyed a fun and lively evening organised by Program Chair, Rotarian
Roger Taylor. The theme was “Know Your Music” featuring songs from the 60s, 70s
and 80s. Several members certainly showed their age — especially with their
impressive knowledge of the 60s era!
On Friday 11 September, our Club joined with the Rotary Club of Morwell to assist at
the Blue Light Disco being held for Baringa School and the Traralgon Special
Development School. This event has been coordinated by the Proactive Policing Unit
and was held at the Moe Town Hall.
Thank you to those who have volunteered to help.
This Monday night we will be welcoming a guest speaker from Willow House
Community Food Bank. This notforprofit organisation provides essential food relief
and also supports the community through mental health assistance.

This not-for-profit supports the community in food relief and mental health support.
In addition they endeavour to build stronger, kinder community connection.
I require an emcee to liaise with Enzo (and possibly 2 additional team members who will pay for their meals) on the evening.
Don't be bashful in taking your turn to volunteer your services.

One of the major projects this year was the building of a second Memorial Wall in the Botanic Gardens to honour Rotarians who have been called to higher service and who have made a significant contribution to the Rotary Club of Moe but who were not active members at the time of their passing.
