Numbers Hold Up
Posted on Jul 02, 2022
Numbers Hold Up
There are an estimated 2.3 million, or 42% of Victorians over 15 years of age who volunteer in Victoria.  However the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted volunteering in Victoria, cutting the participation rate in half.  Fortunately the Rotary Club of Port Fairy has been able to maintain its numbers over the COVID period.  The Club's Annual Report released this month revealed the membership holding up at 22.  
 
The Club's most recent recruit is Annie Ridgway.  Annie is a Port Fairy resident and works in the field of human resources.

District 9780 Conference 2022
It was a big weekend for a small town when the Rotary District 9780 Conference 2022 was held in Port Fairy on 18-20 March.  Over a hundred delegates attended with more following the Conference proceedings on line.  
District Governor John Clue said that the Conference was a great event and he had received complimentary feedback from Rotarians across the District for the way it was run, the quality of the speakers, the Conference Dinner and the Welcome function.  Several visiting Rotarians said it was a memorable and motivating conference that reinforced the Conference theme of Resilience, Renewal and Regeneration

Drinking Fountain Feature
In recognition of the Centenary of Rotary in Australia and the Port Fairy Rotary Club's 60th anniversary, a new drinking fountain has been installed in Rotary Park (Charles Mills Reserve) on the eastern bank of the Moyne River. The Club appreciates Moyne Shire Council's support on this project. Later this year the Council will construct a new path along the river bank, adjacent to the fountain. 
 
Rotarian Tony Bawden was the driving force behind the drinking fountain project, with Milee Cox contributing the artwork for the fountain signage.

Pop-up raffle
Port Fairy's night market is a highlight of the annual build up to Christmas.  Rotary set up shop and held a one-night raffle, the prize being a hamper of Christmas goodies.  The winner was local Renee Brown who was thrilled to take home the big basket.  President Jill Gleeson presented Renee with her prize at the end of the night's trading.

Sea Scouts Cleanup

Sea Scouts Cleanup
The Rotary Club of Port Fairy recently undertook a cleanup of the back yard of the Port Fairy Sea Scout's hall in Bank Street.  The first job was to remove the old ute that has been parked in the yard for a number of years.  On 5 December the team of Adrian, Graeme, Milee, Jill, Peter, Bill, Reg and Michael moved in with brush cutters to tackle the long grass and remove some large items of rubbish.  The job was finished off the following week with the removal of some rocks and other small items so that the grass can be safely mowed in future.

Battery Hill Renewal

Battery Hill Renewal
Port Fairy Rotary's contribution to the renewal of Battery Hill continued with  tree planting at the historic site.  This effort was part of a long-term project to return native vegetation, improve public access and restore the historic elements, co-ordinated by the Shire and local historian Marten Syme.  Rotary is one of several community groups that have provided volunteer effort to the project over a number of years.
 
On a recent Sunday morning with rain and storms threatening Rotarians and Friends got down to the job of planting trees and shrubs.  The work was done in small groups in order to comply with current COVID 19 regulations.

Port Fairy is a historic, intimate harbour village in the south west region of Victoria in Australia.  The town is famous for its annual Folk Music Festival, held in March each year, which has been running for over 40 years and has expanded to include not just folk music but blues and roots music to suit all ages. It also has a Winter Weekends Festival running on specific weekends from June to July.

Port Fairy is a friendly town that relies greatly on tourism and therefore welcomes visitors from all parts of the globe.  

Therefore, if you are visiting Port Fairy, then we invite you to join us at our Rotary Club Dinner meeting held on the first and third Mondays of the month (6:00pm for 6:300pm start).  Details on meeting times and venue are on the Home page
