"Mount Martha Rotary is a group of dedicated volunteers who believe in service above self and building community. We are involved in a diverse range of activities that strive to improve life for others."
It was a wonderful experience hearing from Honorary Member Rachel Gray on Monday. We heard about how she loves structure and vision. She has been an inspiring mentor for the Balcombe Grammar Interact Club and she spoke about the students who wanted to make a difference, how they work together and listen, share and respect each other.
Rachel spoke about how valuable the inter generational relationship has been very beneficial.
This year the Balcombe Grammar Interact Club has raised $764 for the Mornington Community Support Centre food drive and an amazing $6,522 for Wheelchairs for Kids.
Rachel Gray provided an inspiring message!
Rachel told us about her grandparents Fred Guy OAM (a Rotarian for 25 years) and Mary Guy OAM and their legacy and values. They lived a life of community service with Mary raising over a million dollars for the Hamilton op shop. On Mary’s 80th birthday she said to her grandchildren “I never want to hear that you are too busy “. Such a powerful message!
We were thrilled that President of the BGS Interact Club TinTin Clinch was able to join us.
Rachel was presented with a caricature by Rotarian Bill Goodwin to honor her amazing contribution.
This week we have no committee or club meetings due to the Melbourne Cup.
Please note in your diaries our “Christmas Night” on Wednesday 17th December at Donato's - partners and friends welcome!

By Student Interviews Champion, Phyl Scales
Thank you to Mark Dobson, Kaye Stokes, Jill Cummins, Bernie Meehan, Michael Jones, and Peter Rawlings, who gave up their day and joined me for this most worthwhile program.
On Tuesday 7 volunteers from RC Mount Martha participated in Padua College's VCE Vocational Major Mock Interview Program. The year 11 students were a friendly and engaging group who interviewed well. Our volunteers thoroughly enjoyed meeting such a wonderful group of young adults and are looking forward to participating again next year.
Warlimont & Nutt have very kindly displayed this poster in their window in the Mount Martha Village. It denotes all of our project distributions for the 2024-25 Rotary year. What a story and impact! Thank you to Fergus and team for your ongoing support.
