July 2016
Here we are beginning the year of 'Rotary Serving Humanity' which I know you will all support with your exceptional Rotary commitment.
Frank and I would like to thank all of you who shared the Rotary District Changeover with us. It is always a special occasion and I know we all appreciated the presence of Ian and Juliet Riseley. David and I certainly appreciated Ian's role in the official 'handover' part of the evening. It did indeed add a special dimension to celebration of an excellent past year and the anticipation of the year ahead. It was also wonderful to see you all enjoying yourselves so much. We all owe special thanks to the Rotary Clubs of Nunawading and Warrandyte/Donvale for their excellent organisation of the evening!
This week sees the first of a range of District Seminars to help all Rotarians learn more about the broad range of programs, projects and opportunities provided. I do encourage all of you to explore these seminars - whether to deepen existing knowledge, explore aspects of Rotary with which you are less familiar or to meet others beyond your club who might also share your interests. There's something in each seminar for everyone.
We're beginning with the Membership Seminar on Friday 22nd July so that you can use the information for August's Membership & Extension Month - we're looking forward to seeing as many as possible there.
Frank and I are looking forward to meeting as many of you as possible as we visit your clubs in the months ahead.
Best wishes to you all,
Carol Lawton
District Governor 2016-2017

Challenge to Lead Program
The Challenge to Lead Program is a 3 day residential leadership program run by the Rotary Club of Doncaster on 13th, 14th and 15th October, 2016.
The Program is delivered pro bono by dedicated professional facilitators including the former Director of HR for HP and Telstra, a Senior Fellow Melbourne Business School, an advisor to Mt Eliza MBA program and a Principal Fellow of the Melbourne University Business School.
Throughout the Rotary network there is a pool of contacts and potential participants in management and professional positions who would either benefit themselves or recommend others who would benefit from the Program.
There is a high demand for good leadership. It is a must-have capability for any individual or organisation wanting to get ahead in the world and achieve and earn more.Leadership can be taught, learnt and developed and this course will help in this regard.
The Rotary Club of Doncaster is prepared to pay any Cluster Rotary Club a $500 fee for each individual referral who attends. We are aiming to run 2 courses concurrently with a minimum of 20 participants in each course.

You may recall at the 2016 District Conference in Shepparton in March we were very well looked-after by the Committee of the Australian National Piano Award which is also based in Shepparton.
The ANPA provided a pianist, Alex Raineri, a previous ANPA winner, to give a recital during the Opening Session. The ANPA segment was well regarded by the Conference Delegates and I was happy to pass this feedback on to Judy Longley, the ANPA Secretary.
The recitals for the 2016 Award commence in September and I have attached a couple of items concerning the 2016 Awards.
