President’s Report
We were joined by Brighton North members last Thursday night. The meeting began with our AGM, then members Rich-ard Potter and John Manks gave an update on the work in Sa-bu which included a great slide show (see photos next page). Chris Baker and John Cowen from St. Stephen’s Community Garden spoke about how the garden has evolved since it was established two years ago. The two projects were sponsored by both Rotary Clubs. We were joined by PDG Malcom Chiverton and Hon member David Greenall. We welcomed two guests, Margot Burke and Mark Perelaer, and hope to see them again the near future.
I attended the President’s Meeting and District 9810 AGM on Friday night. Ken Mirams presented an update on Youth Pro-tection requirements and David Hone presented an Indigenous Committee update.
The Beaumaris Art Show came to an end on Friday. Thank you to Joy Lea, Di Hone, Elizabeth Hawker and Leah Chisholm for exhibiting your painting. Five paintings were sold, $685 was donated to End Trachoma and $130 to the Highlands Foundation.
Tony Phillips has sent out the time sheet for the Twilight Golf and BBQ at Woodlands Golf Club this Wednesday night. The weather forecast is for a top temp of 21 degrees and cloudy, perfect conditions for some great scores.
Members will be on deck at the Concourse Christmas Carnival on Friday night.
A reminder that we will not be meeting at VGC this Thurs-day night.

nutritious food, reducing family food budgets and creating new recreational and educational opportunities in the natural environment.
Memorandum of Understanding – MATC, St Stephen’s Parish, RCOB, RCOBN, SSCG
PROJECT
1. To establish and operate a community garden on MATC land located at the rear of St Stephen’s Anglican Church, corner of North Road and Cochrane Street, Gardenvale, Vic-toria, 3186 to be known as the St Stephen’s Community Gar-den (the Garden).
2. The Project objectives are to create a communal garden where:
Food can be grown organically and shared with others in the community.
Local families and children can experience the pleasure of growing and eating healthy food.
Workshops can be run and best practice in sustainable gar-dening can be demonstrated.
Gardeners and non-gardeners are equally welcome and com-munity celebrations can be accommodated.
A quiet place for rest and contemplation to enjoy the beauty of the garden.
Associations Incorporations Reform Act 2012 – Model Rules
SSCG is an Incorporated body and therefore a completely separate entity to St Stephen’s Church. We are a ‘legal per-son’ in our own right
We report to Consumer Affairs Victoria
Office bearers and members have protection from personal liability for SSCG debts, legal actions etc.
Public liability insurance was initially provided as an exten-sion of Rotary’s cover. We are now protected under the Angli-can Diocese of Melbourne cover

What have we learnt on the SSCG jour-ney?
1. The Pareto Principle is alive and well
2. Communication can kill or cure
3. Not everyone, of any age, necessarily knows anything about gardening
4. Composting is apparently not intuitive
5. Under-harvesting is incurable
6. Assume nothing. Judge no-one

"I love how in your frame one of the cubs is looking at the camera, it almost appears like it is smiling at us." PHOTOGRAPH BY DAVID HEMMINGS, NATIONAL GEO-GRAPHIC YOUR SHOT
