President Greg’s
Report: The Week (April 15th) in
Review
It
was great to see a good turnout to hear Mark Evans with his inspiring and fascinating
address on what goes on behind the scenes in an AFL Football Club. It would
have been the perfect opportunity to have had guests along. Never mind…it’s
never too late.
For
all new members, and designated office holders for next Rotary year, please
put 17th May in your calendar. Our District Assembly will be held
at Deakin Uni from 9am till 1pm. This will be an opportunity to learn about
the responsibility of Club Directors and the vision of our District Governor
Elect, David Forster. The list of attendees from our Club will be compiled
and submitted shortly.
Due
to the small number of proposed attendees from our Club for the First Aid
course, it has been agreed by the Cluster Presidents to investigate and organise
for a course to be arranged for the combined Clubs. Stay tuned for details…
Five
members have subscribed as Centurion Club members this year and I suspect
that quite a few have simply overlooked it (such as myself). If you would
like to join, it’s certainly not too late. Just let Don or myself know as
soon as possible and we will provide you with the necessary information to
get you registered for this worthy venture. Remember that 100% of the $100
subscription goes to Foundation
President
Greg
Report from Last Week (April 15th) by Roving Reporter Geoff Limmer
President
Greg Welcomed all present including Guest speaker Mark Evans.
Lesley
Bell circulated a photo of an ingenious outdoor device designed and built by
husband John.
The
usual talkative Lesley was somewhat coy when asked if the structure was safe,
had the necessary building approvals or had a legitimate permit to discharge
into the atmosphere.
Nevertheless
she has given notice that we will all be invited to Bendigo late April or early May to witness
the test firing of this unique facility.
Our
old Football Administrator in Garry Randall introduced Guest Speaker Mark
Evans, Football Manager at the Hawthorn Football Club.
Mark
walked us through his early career as a Teacher at Mt.Lilydale College
to his present position as Football Manager at Hawthorn Football Club.
It
seemed that after 11 years at Mt. Lilydale Mark decided to look for wider
horizons. Initially he had planned an extensive overseas trip however those
plans were placed on hold when his wife fell pregnant with their fourth
child.
By
his own admission Mark says he is a very competitive person.
When
he decided that he wanted a career in Football Administration he studied an
MBA.
He
initially obtained a position at the Melbourne Football club prior to being
appointed Football Manager at Hawthorn.
He
also believes that he had a fair amount of luck in gaining the Hawthorn
position.
Mark
was soon to learn that Life as a Football Manager at Hawthorn was
significantly different from his previous year’s employment.
In
Football circles he had to face the challenge of dealing with strong
personalities the likes of:
Joseph
Gutnik, Garry Lions, Cameron Schwab, Alistair Clarkson andJeff Kennett
Quite
a contrast to his days in Teaching.!
Once
settled in at Hawthorn, Mark was quick to identify a need to address the
culture of the Senior Players, something that Coach Alistair Clarkson had
also noted.
Mark
went on to explain the role and responsibility of the Football Manager and
the role of the Coach and President.
It
is clear that Mark and Alistair get along well together and there appears to
be great camaraderie and a real team spirit between the players, the football
department and the President.
Of
Jeff Kennett he said when Jeff arrived he had a plan…5/2/50000
5
Year Plan, 2 Premierships, 50000 Members.
In
just 2 years he had achieved 1 premiership and as of last week the Club
Membership stood at 49500 members.
In
summary Mark gave us an enlightening and motivating address on how to turn a
floundering club into a dynamic and successful club by a few professionally
motivated people.
Gary Randle introduces Mark Evans, Football Manager for
the Hawthorn Football Club.

From Ken Clark Flat
Screen Computer Monitors required
Operation Cleft is in need of two x flat screen computer
monitors, as our existing monitors are too large to comfortably fit on the
bench in our new office. If you have a spare screen that you would be
prepared to donate, it would assist us greatly to set up the new office
more effectively.
Please email me if you are able to
help. suzken1@bigpond.net.au

Latest news on ShelterBox
NEWS UPDATE
The need exists …
the need persists A Global Rotary Club Project SHELTERBOX TENT CITY SET UP
IN ITALIAN VILLAGE
A tent city to
house more than 300 homeless people has been put up in the village of Assergi,
close to the epicentre of the earthquake in central Italy. “The village is in the
mountains where the temperature falls below zero at night,” said ShelterBox
Response Team (SRT) volunteer John Diksa. “We have set up two camps with 20
tents in each so that the community remains close together.” ShelterBox is
working with the local disaster relief co-coordinator to identify other
nearby villages that need emergency shelter. “We are assessing those
villages in need of our help, and will be getting aid to them as quickly as
we can.” As at today, 250 ShelterBoxes are on the ground in Italy.
ShelterBox has a four-person volunteer SRT there, including Nicola Jones
who is on her first deployment. Nicola and fellow SRT volunteer Andrew Biss
drove through the night into Italy with the first
consignment of aid. They were met by John Diksa who was in the disaster
area just 6 hours after the earthquake struck. Australian SRT
members are on standby to travel to Italy if required to assist
with the deployments.
