Highly Successful Fashion Show
SPRING FASHION SHOW: Fashion, Friendship & A Future for Hope
A great afternoon was had all at our Annual Fashion Show held at Mornington Golf Club on Thursday 8 October.
 
The models were superb, the clothes beautiful, the meal was delicious and the audience was totally engaged. Auction items were snapped up (thanks, as always to our fantastic auctioneer Phil Key), raffle tickets were purchased and everyone participated.
 
This wonderful afternoon was a great example of the Community working together to support a great charity - Moonah House - Mornington Peninsula Women's Shelter.
 
Thanks to the fabulous Gwen from @Sonsie Boutique for bringing the fashion, fun and fabulous outfits to the runway with her team of models and to Simon Stanton ('Simon Slush') for the accompanying music.

Report of 13 October Meeting
* David Quinn, Mt Eliza 55 Plus Club
 
* Rotarian Mary Hunt

The guest speaker at our Dinner Meeting at Toorak College on 13 October was David Quinn, President of the Mt Eliza 55 Plus Club.

David outlined the many activities that the 430 plus members of this Club enjoy including dancing, cards, table tennis, tai chi and zumba. The Club offers older members of our community with opportunities for friendship, connection and other social interaction.

In outlining the recent $65,000 refurbishment of the Club kitchen, David expressly thanked the Rotary Club of Mt Eliza for our contribution of $7000 towards new kitchen appliances.

Thanks to David for a most interesting and positive presentation.

David taking Rotarians through his most interesting presentation on the 55 Plus Club

Our Three Minute Speaker this week was Rotarian Mary Hunt who reflected upon her first full year as a Mt Eliza Rotarian. 

Speaking with glee and enthusiasm Mary talked about learning how to really clean a Bunnings BBQ, how to stay dry when on the gate at a wet Farmers Market and her delight to be involved as our lead on It's OK, not to be OK.

Being a Rotarian has been an important part of Mary's life especially following the sudden passing of her husband, Jamie, who was a much loved member of our Club. Mary spoke about how welcomed she had been made feel and the new friendships that she has made through our lab.

Thank you Mary for a delightful, poignant, presentation.
