Christmas Decorations for Mt Martha Village – COMING
When Community Bank Mt Martha Director, Nick Roberts OAM heard about Rotary Club of Mt Martha initiative to bring Christmas decorations to Mt Martha Village, he decided to donate his directors $1,000 to this exciting concept. Nick loves Christmas and the thought of shops in the Mt Martha Village displaying Christmas baubles, decorated by our local community was to too good not too.
The Rotary Club of Mount Martha is going to bring some Christmas cheer to Mount Martha this year.
They are asking the community to decorate “baubles” which will be displayed in the shops and businesses. The base boards will be supplied, and they are asking schools, kindergartens, childcare groups, families, local groups and individuals to decorate their bauble. (see example of blank and a decorated baubles in photo).
A selection process will decide the best decorated baubles, which the shop and the decorating group or family will be announced at this year’s Mount Martha Carols by the Bay. But it’s all about creating a community pride project.
If you would like to participate, please collect your board from the Community Bank Mt Martha or Warlimont & Nutt Real Estate.
For quantities of boards or other enquiries please contact Rotary Club of Mt Martha President, Anne Shaw 0409 387 373.
Wheelchairs For Kids
What could we buy for $275?
An Akubra hat, a pair of Blundstone boots, a night in a hotel or we could buy education, hope, better health and joy. Wheelchairs For Kids was started by the Rotary Club of Scarborough in WA in 1998 & have supplied 60,000 wheelchairs to children with a disability worldwide. At least 10 million children worldwide are in dire need of a wheelchair but cannot afford one. (Source: WHO). In developing countries in many cases a child intellectually capable of attending school is denied the opportunity because of the absence of a wheelchair.
• 80% of people living with a disability live in developing countries
• 90% of children living with a disability in developing countries are not in school
• Disability and poverty are linked. It is estimated that 20% of the world’s poorest people have some kind of disability   
• Disabled people with no mobility are more vulnerable to disease and malnutrition
For $275 Wheelchairs For Kids can give a child a wheelchair that is fitted to them and give them mobility and a new chance at life.
Interact at Balcombe Grammar
The Rotary Club Mount Martha in partnership with the Balcombe Grammar School have established a Rotary Interact Club. Interact clubs bring together young people ages 12-18 to develop leadership skills while discovering the power of Service Above. Through Interact, young people develop initiative, leadership skills, and lasting friendships. The Rotary club gains a service partner, as well as an opportunity to prepare its community's youth for future leadership. Founded by Rotary International in 1962, Interact stands for International Action.
 
Recently the team members were awarded their Rotary Interact Certificates by the Principal Geoff Roberts- Thompson. Interact badges were presented by Rotary Club member Peter Wiltshire, Director Youth Service. The ceremony was held during school assembly in the presence of 600 students and members of staff.
 
The first fundraising project by the Interact Club was a “sausage sizzle” outside of IGA Mount Martha. Funds raised will go to the Kookaburra Kids Foundation (Youth Mental Health).

Thank you Michael Wunderly
​Club ​​​​President Anne Shaw presenting Paul Harris Fellow to Michael Wunderly with Club member Roger Annear
 
Mornington’s Michael Wunderly is a local hero who we were proud to award a Paul Harris Fellow.  A Paul Harris Fellow is presented by a Rotary Club to a person who has been recognised as having done something significant for others. In 1997 Mick joined the committee of the Mornington Football Club. He has served as President, Vice President and Sponsorship Coordinator which is a role he continues to fulfil very well for the club. Mick has raised over $3 million in this role. In 2015/16 Mick had a vision for the Alexandra Park precinct where football, cricket & netball are played. The Alexandra Park Project was born & Mick has chaired a committee of like-minded people that set out to create an integrated inclusive & accessible community asset to be utilised by sporting clubs, disability support groups, private health organisations & the local community. Mick has worked closely with the Shire, brought together all levels of government, the Bays Hospital & local sporting groups to fund and create what will be a magnificent facility for our community. Mick has raised over $900,000 for the ground and the new building as well as liaising with many to obtain a $2.5 million grant from the federal government in conjunction with the Bays Hospital to fund the project which is now complete. THANK YOU MICK!

Celebrating 50 Years of Service 
50 years ago, in 1974, 26 Rotarians gathered at the Dava Hotel in Mount Martha to form the then Rotary Club of South Mornington and Mount Martha.
Two of those charter Members, Geoff Maughan and Trevor Morrison together with President Anne Shaw and Club Historian Roger Annear, joined over one hundred others last weekend to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of what is now the well-known and established, Rotary Club of Mount Martha.
Reflecting on the past 50 years, some long standing Rotarians told the audience including current and past Members and partners and community representatives, some of the incredible community work the club has done over half a century.
