On Country Camping
Our students will love to be on country, connected to the land. City living will be a big adjustment, which we will support through many
different approaches. However, it will be essential to ensure our students are able to get out of
the city, onto the land around Victoria for simple weekends away.
We would like to purchase 25 sleeping bags
and swags for use by our students and staff for
sleeping under the stars while on country excursions. These would be maintained at MITS
for use in future years.
The sleeping bags need to be rated to -2C and
must pack down very small.
Allowance: $250 per sleeping bag and $300
per swag
Do you have a business that might be interesting for our students to visit?
Are you a keen walker or scout leader who
could help guide one of our camping trips?
We are interested to hear from you.
We would like to provide a winter warmer package at the start of Term 2, or earlier if weather
conditions require it. The winter warmer package would include:
1 winter coat
1 fleece jumper
2 pairs of track suit pants
Allowance: $400 per student per year

Fellowship Night
22 Thursday 22 October
Hello everyone
The annual Masters is soon
with us again, this time at
Huntingdale, on 19-22 November, which is the week after
our Farmers Market.
Although the Market has been
going really well, there is some doubt about
whether the site will be available to us on an
ongoing basis, as the Education Dept intends to
close the school after this year, and demolish
the buildings. What happens after that, and
whether we will still have access is up in the air.
Therefore we do not want to abandon any of
our other fundraising activities, and the Masters
parking has always been a solid fundraiser for
us.
This year, Huntingdale Rotary is looking for us
to provide 3 people on Wednesday, 10 per day
Thursday through Sunday for parking, and 4
people Thursday through Sunday for ticketing. If
we can achieve this, we will earn over $5000 for
the Club.
Please check your calendars, talk to your
spouses/partners or anyone else crazy
enough to want to volunteer, and give me an
indication as soon as you can on availability
for this important activity.
For those newer Members of our Club, the Masters Golf parking/ticketing involves four days of
very early mornings, standing in heat, wind,
rain, wind, dust, and sometimes all of the above
on the same day, managing the public carparks
or scanning the entry tickets. The day usually
ends around 4pm but can be later. If it is quiet
and you are lucky, you may even get to see
some golf. We usually manage to make it a fun
time, if somewhat gruelling, and it has become
a traditional annual fundraising activity for our
club.
I look forward to an overwhelming response.

1985
On Thursday 29 October our special guest speaker is Ron Iddles the Secretary of the
Police Association effectively their CEO.
For the benefit of newer members, when we have a particularly interesting speaker we
sometimes make the evening what we call a partners night when we encourage members to bring along their partner. Such a night is also a great opportunity to bring a
friend or someone who you think may have an interest in checking out what we are
like at the Rotary Club of Beaumaris.
Ron Iddles is a former Detective Senior Sergeant. Over 25 years in homicide he investigated 200 murders and arrested 95% of suspects in those cases. He testified in 150
murder trials and only three people were acquitted. He is held in high regard by the
families of murder victims including Jill Meagher and Mersina Halvagis.
Ron has achieved more results than any other homicide cop in Australia.
This is an opportunity to hear an icon speak and for you to ask him questions. Such
an opportunity rarely comes along. We plan to limit the audience to sufficient to fill
the Rotunda room and there are no plans to apply to use the large dining room.
