He unveiled the RI theme during the open-ing plenary session of the 2013 Interna-tional Assembly in San Diego, California, USA, the annual training event for incom-ing district governors.

Burton said the July launch of The Rotary Foundation’s new grant model, Future Vi-sion, makes it an exciting time to be a Ro-tarian. He said the new grant model, which has been used by about 100 pilot districts since 2010, represents a new era for the Foundation, and will help Rotarians get excited about Rotary’s ability to change lives.

“It takes everything that is wonderful about Rotary and raises it to a new level — by encouraging bigger, more sustainable pro-jects while providing increased flexibility for local projects, both of which address the needs of the community being served,” he said.

Burton emphasized that the job doesn’t end when a new member joins: “It’s not done until that new member is engaged in

Rotary, inspired by Rotary, and uses the power of Rotary service to change lives.”

Peace Through Service

The Adrian Mannix Award night was opened by Debra Winter from Springdale who went on welcome The Presidents of the Rotary Club of Drysdale, Portarlington-Drysdale Lions and representatives of the Mannix family in Gary Mannix and Barbara Moody.

Debra spoke about the history of the award.

The Adrian Mannix OAM Community Ser-vices Award was set up one week after Adrian Mannix passed away on 24th Febru-ary 2001.

On the following Monday night the Drys-dale Rotary Club held a one minute silence in his Adrian’s memory. A brief resume of his life work and achievements was given by long time friend Rotarian Bernard Filbay.

The Rotary Community Services portfolio was being organized by Shane Coles. One of his aims was to develop an award to recognize those people in the Bellarine area who worked hard for their communi-ty, voluntarily for no recognition.

Twelve years ago a Committee was formed with the Rotary Club of Drysdale, the Lions Club of Portarlington/Drysdale, and Springdale Neighbourhood Centre.

With the support of these clubs the Adrian E Mannix OAM Community Services Award was established to recognize ‘real ‘real ‘real ‘real people doing real community work’.people doing real community work’.people doing real community work’.people doing real community work’.

The Award is $500 cheque to a worth-while charity or a not-for-profit organiza-tion of the winner’s choice, plus a trophy as a reminder of this recognition.

The rules of the Award specify that the community service carried out must be in the area of the North Bellarine communi-ties of Drysdale, Portarlington, Clifton Springs, Murrudoc, Curlewis, St Leonards and Indented Heads. And the nominee

must be a resident of the area.

Barbara Moody Adrians partner then spoke about briefly about Adrian.

Anne Brackley spoke about the award and then announced that the winner this year was John Brumley.

The Rotary movement got behind the Be-yond Blue movement. John Brumley was the Rotary regional contact person. He was also the President of the local organizing committee formed to initiate the first Men-tal Health Forum in 2004. The forum was to increase awareness of mental health in the area. Mr Kennett and 700 people at-tended this first forum which was beyond everyone’s expectations proving the need for support in this emerging area of health education.
