Rotary Mount Martha this week
Ranch 2.0 Update
 
This past week we had the King’s birthday public holiday but that didn’t stop Mark Dobson, Bernie Meehan, Colin Stokes and John Waterhouse rolling up their sleeves to help with the Ranch 2.0. project.
 
Ross Kilborn from Rotary Mornington - Ranch 2.0 Project Coordinator, has provided this update below.
 
This is an interim thanks for the great work done this week.
 
It's also a chance to update everyone on what has happened and what's next. 
 
What a great week, thanks to everyone from Mt.Martha, Mornington and Frankston Rotary Clubs and Mornington Men's Shed. 
 
By the end of last week we have nearly finished what we can do on unit 7 (the upstairs vacant one) .
 
What a transformation.
 
Mark has done a great job of covering up where the heater was,  and with a couple more plaster coats and some paint in the next couple of days it will be done, (thanks to Grant Jamieson from Combined Compliance for removing the heater) .
 
Ned from Choices Flooring by Smiths is going to replace the carpet as soon as we finish.
 
And Julia has really cleaned up the garden ! 
 
The good news is that Mainline Development are going to replace the kitchen and all the rotten timber windows. The timeframe on that is 3-4 weeks .
 
Thanks to Bob and John we made a start on unit 2 downstairs, and we think that will be painted over the weekend by another group. 
 
(With great work from Tony and Steve from Scouse tiling, and tiles from Ultimate tiles,  the bathroom in this unit was retiled last weekend). So it should be ready on Monday for furnishing (hopefully coming next week from Rosebud - Rye Rotary Warehouse) 
 
This weekend Unit 3 is being vacated and so we will know on Monday what is ahead of us for that . The other units are vacated progressively until October.
 
Thanks especially to Dulux / Paint Spot (in Mornington Tyabb Road ) for all the paint and materials and their undertaking to do all the outside timber over the next few months
 
Two other things we are working on, and if you know anyone who might be able to help we would love to hear from you. 
  • we need a plumber who may be able to look at a blocked drain on the bathroom basin in 7 - beyond the bend which we cleaned
  • we are chasing appliances - fridges, TV's washing machines , vacuums and microwaves etc

Project Payments
 
Over the past week we have sent $1000 to The School of St. Judes.
 
$1650 to sponsor Charlotte Redey, President Elect of Peninsula Rotaract club to attend RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards training)
 
$1400 to Mount Martha Life Saving Club for the purchase of some Torpedo special needs training boards.
 
Both Rotaract and MMLSC assisted us with the 4x4 expo and we look forward to working with some members of Rotaract on Sunday 22nd at our Bunnings BBQ.
The School of St Judes
 
The school was founded in 2002 by Australian Gemma, Sisia. It provides a 'free, high quality primary and secondary education to over 1800 of the poorest and brightest children in the region of Arusha, Tanzania, East Africa'.
 
We at Rotary Mount Martha have provided Sponsorship to pay for Teacher PD since 2014, whilst Daniel Groves (Byron's youngest son) worked there.
