Presidents Report
Presidents Report
One of the interesting things about Rotary is that
each year across all of the rotary clubs across the
world, at approximately the same time, a new
theme is rolled out and a new President and
Board! I remember feeling that this is a bit
unnecessary, but as I have moved through the
structure, realise that this event actually provides
new energy for the following year.
I have truly enjoyed my year and I thank all of you
for supporting me in this venture. I think a fair bit
has been achieved and all of you have had a part in
this achievement.
I started out with a number of goals:
 To increase membership and retain
members
(We have inducted 12 new members,
although lost 7)
 Encourage the formation of a Rotaract
Club
(This is in train and will happen soon)
 Improve our communication processes
across all channels (I think we are doing
that better)
 Interact with the cluster more (we have
formed some good relationships during
the year)
Page 4 of 30
Can I thank all members of the Board who have
assisted me during this past year. Peter Frueh as
Vice-President has been very supportive – gently
steering me in the right direction, sorting out
issues on protocol etc. Our Secretary George and
Treasurer Andrew have done a great job in
keeping the ship on an even keel.
Club Service has been well run by David Rhodes.
He is still battling to get content on our web page,
but keep pushing David. Thank you, Pauline, for
doing a great job with Program. Mike Rodgers
Wilson and Chris Defraga have jointly produced
our Bulletin. Judith and Carol keep the front desk
in order and John, Keith and Ian have looked after
the We Care.
Membership was Stan Gawel – what can I say, you
really have done a great job. The Social Club has
also achieved many things this year. Community
Service has been well handled by Phil Lambers.
There have been numerous requests for grants
and these have been expertly handled by Phil and
the team. Phil also assists with the functions at the
club. Clarke Ballard has done a solid job with the
International Committee. He handled the politics
of transitioning our East Timor project to the next
stage. There have also been numerous projects
funded internationally. Di Gillies has had a
successful year as Director of Youth Services. She
has been recognized for her work in establishing
training sessions with high school students locally.
David Jones has achieved a lot in his role as
Director of Vocational Services. This of course has
carriage of the RATSITS program. Thanks go to
Hugh Trumble and Bob Batrouney for another
successful year.
Our Market Board and Market Committee have
had another successful year. The marketing push
driven by Ken McQualter has resulted in new
uniforms as well as new equipment during the
Sunday market. Thanks also to Stephen and Edwin
for your work on the Risk Management Strategy.
Big thanks to all of our members for making this a
great club.

Awards
A number of awards were made during the year:
Paul Harris Fellow
This award recognizes Rotarians whose work demonstrates a shared purpose with the objectives of The Rotary
Foundation.
Di Gillies
Di was presented with a Paul Harris award and pin for her work in developing a training
program for secondary students in public speaking.
Henry Brockman
Henry was President for 2014-15 and developed the major projects committee and
protocols for projects over $20,000.
Ken McQualter
Ken was also a past president of Balwyn Rotary. He has worked hard on the market
committee and developed the marketing strategy including new equipment and badging
for the market.
Daryl Mills
For many years Daryl has been “our man in East Timor”. He has done a fantastic job
training local employees, liaising with government departments, and co-ordinating DIK
shipments, arranging for ROMAC patients, and supervising various projects. It was agreed
prior to my year that arrangements had to change in terms of Balwyn Rotary being the
principle partner and funder of Daryl’s position. A transitional arrangement was put in
place during the year with the long-term goal of spreading the commitment across a
number of groups. This is still in train, but the club was very pleased to present Daryl with
a Paul Harris Fellow award.

Presidents Report
Royce Abbey Awards
These are given to newer Rotarians who show enthusiasm and commitment to the objects of Rotary:
Gill Merzvinskis
Mary Harnan
Brian Mathieson
Gill was presented with the award for her great work as Sergeant and as well
assisting in Club Projects and events.
Mary was presented with the award for her work on club functions, event organising
and for her work on the Camberwell Sunday Market.
Although not strictly a new Rotarian, (Brian spent a number of years at Melbourne
Rotary), his work on the Vocational Committee, in particular the 4-way speaking
competition was meticulous.
Jude Lahey Award
The award is given to a Balwyn member, male or female, who is a ‘quiet achiever’,
someone who works behind the scenes but gets things done. This year it went to
Brian Pollock for his work in a number of areas of the club, (EERN, setting up club
nights and club documentation).
It was a great privilege and a pleasure to be your President for the year. I enjoyed it
thoroughly and felt very supported by you all.

John Keogh, Ian Ridd and Keith Carroll kept Members informed of the misfortunes of their fellow Members
Club Meetings
Front Desk
Judith Lahey, ably supported by Carol Imison and from time to time Ian Ridd, takes total control of the front
desk.
Judith had a short lapse due to ill health when David Hobson took over. During this time, David reminded
members that if they did not send in an apology then that constituted a “No Show” and thus they would be
liable to pay for the dinner. This is an ongoing problem for the club which we would like to resolve.
Meeting setup
Brian Pollack assisted by Michael Curry, Kevin Walsh and David Rhodes ensured that the required equipment,
banners and the like were always available and setup prior to the meeting.
Speakers Program
Pauline Wilson was our Program Director this year. The emphasis was on providing more fellowship and fun as
was asked for in Club Survey to members prior to this year.
The program included
 The Chinese New Year, St. Patrick’s Day Celebrations, which were part of this focus, as were our gettogethers for Cup Day, Club Birthday, Changeover Dinner and the fellowship barbecues;
 Several ‘Behind the Badge’ evenings as well as the Who Am I? quiz to help get to know new members
as well as gain new insights into the lives of members;
 Short reports from Committees and recipients of our support, so that all Rotarians gained an insight
to the varied projects being undertaken, including Box Hill Hospital, 4 way speaking competition,
RATSITS, Sustainability Scholars, RYLA, Violence Free Families and a visit to the Asylum Seeker’s
Resource Centre;
 Activities outside our normal meetings were the Yarra Valley Bus Tour, International Women’s Day
Breakfast, District Conference and some Theatre nights;
 Speakers who gave us interesting insights into their passion and programs included Seven Women,
Melbourne Telescope, Long Walk to School, Vets for Change.
It was important in program planning to connect with the Social Committee as well as asking each Committee
if they had any speakers/topics they would like to present so that it ensured a varied program. The District
Speakers List was also most helpful as was the personal contact with a few Rotary clubs.
As part of the programming, and to make newer members feel welcome, they were asked to be Chair for the
day. To help with this, lists of new members and of people who were chair, as well as a Program Manager’s job
description was developed.

Club Services Committee
Sergeants
Gill Merzvinskis and Mike Rodgers-Wilson kept the weekly meetings in order with many amusing moments.
Their decision to drop the birthday notices did not seem to ruffle any feathers!
The fines collected together with the “Gold Pot” contributions exceeded $3,800 which made a very useful
contribution to Club members’ Account.
Communications
Bulletin
Chris De Fraga kept up his high standard weekly newsletter with assistance from Mike Rodgers-Wilson when
Chris had a period of poor health. David Jones provided the photographs.
The newsletter is the Club’s main means of communication and provides a detailed summary of the weekly
meetings speaker’s subject.
Website
Technical support is provided by John Paul Mulqueen. Updating data was provided by David Rhodes including
keeping the Club Activity duty rosters up to date. The “Members Announcement” section—which provides an
opportunity for the Avenue of Service committee chairs to kept members informed of their activity—could do
with more attention.
As far as can be gathered, the website provided potential members with an informed understanding of what
they could expect our Club to provide.
The “Members Only” section of the website is basically only used by members to check their Duty rosters. The
availability of forms at this stage is fairly limited.
Social Media
The main intention of our Facebook page is to attract potential members with “posts” that would elicit “wow I
would like to be part of that” comments. The Club’s introduction to Facebook has been a pioneering exercise.
We contracted experienced assistance from Andrew McIntosh but have been unable to afford to extend this as
our Club Account is primarily used to service our Rotary affiliation fees. I think we can say that this is a work in
progress which needs further development. The Facebook page, at this stage, does not reflect the success of
our club adequately.
On-to-Conference
A number of Balwyn Rotary members attended the 2016 District 9800 conference in Bendigo in March. It was
generally considered a successful conference and most of us took the opportunity to visit the Marylyn Monroe
exhibition held in the Arts Centre. We also had a successful club dinner, prior to which we brain-stormed what
we considered the highlights and downsides of this year’s conference. This information will arm us for when
we are running the conference in 2018.
General
Property/Archives
Storage facilities have been arranged with Storage King at Bulleen. We have a special discounted annual fee of
$300 (Mr King is a Rotarian).
Previous committees have raised questions with respect to:
 What to archive;
 How long to keep the material;
 What “Soft copy” standards should be adopted.
Murray Wilkinson, Catherine Stahel and David Rhodes had a couple of meetings to discuss these issues. To
date no resolutions have been reached.
Comments
There are a number of other areas of activity that Rotary consider to be Club Service such as fund raising,
membership, committee selection, interclub relations, social and more. These have not been included in the
main thrust of this committee.
Page 10 of 30
Annual Report 2015-2016
Club Services Committee
Club service is largely paralleled by the President’s activities/role and in Balwyn’s case the Sunday Market
Company. This has resulted in some confusion as to who has responsibility for what.
My suggestion is that Club Service is best included in the role of President Elect to try and overcome some of
this.
Further that a positive line of responsibility between the Sunday Market and the Club’s Board would provide
some cover in the case of divergent objectives between the two groups. This would also help diminish the view
the sometimes held idea that Balwyn Rotary is just a “Cheque Book Club”.

Membership Activities
Some membership activities during the year
Letter Box Drop
Mary Harnan, Andrew Miles and Stan Gawel letter box dropped approximately 3000 invites to our club in one
of the Balwyn District Quadrants. There was no response from this action and consequently, a decision was
made not to repeat this activity.
Balwyn Business Visits
George Skandalellis, Di Gilles & Stan Gawel called on businesses in Balwyn inviting owners to one of our
meetings and requesting donations to our Christmas raffle. A lot of goodwill was generated and we had a
number attended our New members’ night.
Gender Balance
Di Gillies hosted a Lady Members BBQ which was attended by approximately six potential members. However
only two new ladies joined the club after this event. This is an issue we need to continually address.
New Member Night
At our meeting at Greenacres on October 29 we held a potential new members BBQ, at which there were
thirteen potential members. Bill Goodwin designed an invite which was sent out by existing members to
potential members.
Web-Site Update
Trevor White provided an information pack for the website containing information on the history of Balwyn
Rotary and Rotary International. Trevor also presented an overview of Rotary International and Balwyn Rotary
at the business premises of one of our members, George Skandalellis to new members.
New Member Process
A number of people including President Anthea developed a new member process document which will assist
in the induction of new members.

There were six areas of focus within our club:
RATSITS (Rotary Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander Tertiary Scholarship)
The club sponsors or provides a scholarship to a select number of Indigenous Students to provide financial
assistance with their tertiary education. Each student scholarship is valued at $25,000 for three or four years
depending on the course chosen. We support two or three new students each year.
4 Way Test Youth Speaker Competition
The Grand Final of this event is held at the Club in May and is now a major event. All secondary schools in
Boroondara are invited to participate. Contestants are year 11 students who enjoy debating or want to learn
public speaking and are invited through the school programs to compete at a semi-final. Four or five
contestants move on to the grand final. Prizes, funded by the Club and Dymocks of Camberwell, totalled
$7,200. This project has been going for about 10 years. The relevance to Rotary is the theme of choice must
include Rotary's "4 Way Test Ethical Standards of Practice".
Boroondara Literary Awards
This is another competition program for all primary, secondary and tertiary students writing short stories or
poetry. Judges, usually authors, are chosen by the City of Boroondara with the club directly fund $27,000
towards this project. It has been running for a number of years.
Vocational Visits
A tradition of this club is to try and run two visits per year to interesting institutions. Past examples include
visits to FairShare’s food distribution centre for needy people, the Police Academy in Glen Waverley,
Parliament House, the National Library, a tour of the MCG and a visit to the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute. This
year we visited the asylum seeker depot in west Footscray.
Global Environmental Sustainability Awards
This project started this year (2016), has Board approval to continue now for the next three years and is locked
in to the Vocational Services program.
It is essentially a scholarship award for selected tertiary scholars who are studying the effects of human impact
on the environment and what can be done to alleviate the impact. The award provides financial assistance to
attend a conference in Australia or overseas. Up to about 6 students will be selected to receive approximately
$2,500 each. This could be the cost of an air fare, or accommodation which they otherwise would not be able
to afford. Successful students are requested to attend a club meeting to talk about their experience and what
they achieved personally from the conference. The club has been treated to some highly diverse reporting
from these students.
Police Mentoring Program
This is a District level program where a member of the police force and a rotary club engage to form a mutual
association over the course of the year. We were not chosen to participate in this program during the year,
but hopefully we will be successful with a police candidate next year.

Rotary Liaison Office, Dili, Timor Leste
th
Our five-year contract with LO Logistics (a Company owned by Daryl Mills) was due to expire on 30 June
2016. During the five years, the Liaison Office has gone from strength to strength under Daryl’s direction, its
main activities being:
 Processing of containers through the Port of Dili and Customs, and ensuring that the contents went to
their intended destination;
 Support of the ROMAC program, including arranging paperwork for children (and often mothers) to
enable them to travel internationally for surgery, delivering medication to children after they
returned home, and liaison with medical teams;
 Training of East Timorese in office procedures; in particular, the two permanent employees, Judite
and Mario;
 Support as needed of Rotary Clubs and others carrying out projects in Timor Leste.
However, the cost of RCB support increased substantially over the years and efforts to make the Liaison Office
more self-supporting had met with very limited success, so the RCB Board decided it was not in a position to
continue as the almost sole financial supporter of the Liaison Office. Negotiations with Daryl over wind-up
arrangements were conducted by a sub-committee consisting of Clarke Ballard, Bob Batrouney, Jim Cary,
Richard Cauchi and Richard Seeley. Negotiations were somewhat stressful, and eventually were resolved by
Daryl deciding to exit the contract six months early, at the end of December 2015.
Arrangements to keep the Office operating were made, in something of a hurry after Daryl’s decision. They
were, in association with RC Melbourne and financial support from clubs including RCB and direct support
from D9800, to continue employing Judite and Mario full time with Daryl as a part time supervisor for January
to June 2016. This worked well, with the two locals proving able to handle the core activities of processing
containers and supporting ROMAC. This is a credit both to Judite and Mario, and to Daryl’s training. However,
in future the training and project support activities may decrease – time will tell. It is understood that D9550
(which includes Timor Leste) will take over management and funding of the Liaison Office from mid-2016. For
expenditure details, see below.
Arrangements were made for a final visit to RCB by Daryl in July 2016 to acknowledge his huge contribution
over 12 years in running the Liaison Office so successfully.

Salau Orphanage Reedbed Project
This was a carryover from 2014/15, when a fairly ambitious project to install secondary sewage
treatment for the orphanage at Salau, Timor Leste, was approved. However, on detailed site
investigation the project as envisaged turned out to be not feasible, and was abandoned. A
(minor) payment was made to the orphanage to enable it to complete the installation of a set
of ten Mandis (toilet/shower units) and the associated septic tank as commissioned by the
nuns. While this arrangement is not up to Australian standards it is better than many
arrangements in Timor Leste.

Solomon Islands Nursing Scholarship
Continuation of a project started last year. In association with RC Traralgon, we agreed to pay
residential costs (semester by semester and subject to performance) of a student nurse from a
small village but resident in Honiara to study. The initial student did not pass the first semester
and funding was discontinued, but the second selection appears to be doing well, and he has
completed his first semester successfully.
Project managed by Margaret Jack.

Cyclone Pam, Vanuatu
This project, in association with RC Port Vila, is to help provide a Medical Aid Post in North
Efate, Vanuatu where there is a serious need for medical care. A metal building was sourced
from Port Vila and transported to Tanoliu, about 40km north of Port Vila. Our contribution will
be AUD 25,000, of which half was spent during the year.
Project is being managed by Kevin Walsh.

but an excellent event continuing liaison with a sister Club.

The project, in association with RC Goksu and a District Grant from D2420, Turkey, is to provide
iPads, associated headphones and software, and teacher training to children at the YahyaÇavus
School for Blind and Visually Impaired, Gallipoli. As at June 2016, RCB had informally
committed USD 12,000 to the project out of a total project cost of USD 35,000. These funds will
come not from the Grants Account but from the “profits” of the 2015 Gallipoli Tour organised
by RCB. However, funds will not be transferred until RC Goksu confirms the D2420 grant.

Nepalese earthquake – rebuilding of school at Sundardevi, Nepal
This project follows a previous one, completed in 2014/15, to supply 800 sheets of aluminium
roofing to a remote village in Nepal at a cost of $10,000 following the earthquake of April 2015.
The new project, expending funds collected at the Sunday Market specifically for the Nepal
earthquake, was applied to re-building the Sundardevi Lower Secondary School in the Nuwakot
District. The original approved cost of AUD 30,000 was extended by AUD 2,900 to provide for
fitment of aluminium window frames when it proved impractical to salvage the timber window
frames from the old school.
Project was managed by Phil West and was successfully completed in June 2016.

Prosthetics unit, Goma, DR Congo
This project followed a presentation to RCB by Tammy
Shepherd, a local physiotherapist who has been visiting
Goma for several years at her own cost. The Democratic
Republic of Congo (DRC) is a very difficult country to
work in, but Tammy now has excellent contacts. The
project is to add a prosthetics workshop and limb fitting
unit to the existing Heal Africa Hospital in Goma, and
train locals to modify and fit artificial legs, using “Jaipur
Limbs” which can be supplied and fitted for the
incredibly low cost of some USD 30 each. It is
enthusiastically supported by the hospital, and in
particular its orthopaedic surgeon. At present artificial
limbs are almost unknown in Goma.
Project cost is about AUD 100,000. Funding is complex,
and supported by RCB, RC Camberwell, a D9800 District
Grant, RC Goma, a District Grant from DR Congo, Rotary
Jaipur Limb (who will effectively manage the project),
another charity based in UK, and finally a Global Grant.

Amputee patient at Heal Africa
Hospital, Goma
RCB has committed relatively little funds (AUD 10,000 or say USD 7,000) or about 10% of the
project cost, but has also agreed to be the “international partner” which means it holds the
Australian funds (RC Balwyn, RC Camberwell and D9800 Grant) and is responsible for applying
for the Global Grant.
As at June 2016:
 Australian funds are committed and secure including the District Grant (reconfirmed
for 2016/17);
 UK funds are committed;
 DRC funds are possibly committed (communication with DRC partners is difficult,
partly because they are French speaking, plus local dialects);
 However, we have just located a Goma resident who is English speaking (Irish) and is a
Rotary Peace Scholar already working with RC Goma, who may be valuable;
 As at June 2016 the project is about 85-90% funded;
 RCB has set up a subcommittee (as required by the Global Grants process) consisting
of Clarke Ballard, Andrew Miles and Ed Frost to manage our input;
 The Global Grant application has been drafted and received D9800 approval, but
cannot be formally submitted till the project is fully funded and a few other details are
tweaked.
RCB funds have been committed, but will not be expended till full funding is assured and the
Global Grant is approved.
All in all, a fascinating and worthwhile project and a steep learning curve for the IC.
Special Education Unit, Leon Central School, Philippines
Project is to provide a therapy room, vocational development unit and therapy playground to
an existing program hosting around 50 children with disabilities that is part of a large
elementary school in the Leon District on the island of Panay, Philippines. First stage of AUD
23,000 was for the building and was fully funded by RCB. Second stage (equipment) is covered
by a District Grant of AUD 5,000 and was not yet paid as at the end of June.

supply had become contaminated and is unusable. Completed successfully in November 2015.
Project managed by Richard Seeley.
RMIT Student Placement Cambodia
Project was to contribute up to AUD 6,400 for building materials and AUD3,000 for medical
equipment, to be used by RMIT University chiropractic students visiting Cambodia. The
students help to construct buildings, and the project supplies basic medical equipment and
building materials. It was made clear that our support did not extend to student airfares or
other reimbursements, or to chiropractic activities.
AUD 9,600
Regional Women’s Centre, Morongo, Tanzania
This is an ambitious project of RC Greensborough with a total cost of about $1 million, to be
done in stages with the first stage costing about $400,000. They have already raised $80,000
and are applying for a Foundation Grant which could potentially cover more than half the cost.
RC Greensborough have been working on this for years and it appears very well planned.
Agreed to contribute AUD 6,400 to secure naming rights for a small counselling room, the
contribution to be reconsidered if construction does not commence in 2015/16.
No known progress as at June 2016 but project still on books.
Playground in a Village in Rural Cambodia
A request was received via the Market website from “One Family at a Time” for support for a
playground to be constructed in a village in rural Cambodia. A grant of AUD 2,000 was made
and the project was successfully completed in June 2015.

Rotary Peace Fellowship – Ellen Maynes
Ellen Maynes, whose application was supported by RCB, was awarded a Rotary Peace
Fellowship at the Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok. This is a three-month full time course
funded by Rotary International. Following completion, Ellen is now living and working in
Yangon, Myanmar and is deeply involved in “Peace Tables Worldwide” which is an advocacy
campaign that calls for equal women’s representation at peace tables around the world.

hindsight, we should not have pre-funded the project.
Oxytocin Research – Monash University

Support of Donations in Kind
Our Club is a long-time supporter of Donations in Kind. In particular Mike Dobson and helpers
contribute immensely to collection of goods using vehicles made available by Mike. RCB is a
“member” of DIK which means it contributes $3,500 annually towards the rent of the West
Footscray store. During the year, we also contributed $10,000 towards the cost of shipping
container loads of goods overseas.

National Youth Science Forum
The National Youth Science Forum is a twelve day residential program, hosted in Canberra by the Australian
National University, for students moving into Year 12 who are interested in science, engineering and
technology.
Our club sponsored three successful applicants (Huayi Zeng, Bethia Sun and co-funded Carine Wessels with the
RC Melbourne) to this very competitive program held in January 2016. The girls all returned enthused and
eager to continue their studies. They reported in person to the club members and have participated in Sunday
market duties. We have submitted another 3 applicants to the District selection committee for 2017.
RYLA
Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) is a highly regarded Rotary leadership training program for young
people aged 18-25. RC Balwyn sponsored a successful applicant, Lisa Do who returned to speak to the
members of this residential week program that emphasizes leadership, citizenship, and personal growth. Lisa
has also participated in Sunday market duty.
Kinder+
Kinder+ has been successfully operating in the City of Boroondara for several years – originally established by
RCB and Foundation Boroondara.
The program was jointly serviced by RCB, Foundation Boroondara and officers from the City of Boroondara
who specialise in community service – kindergartens. From 2014, RCB took over sole responsibility for funding
and managing, with Council officers in an advisory capacity.
Kinder+ supports families experiencing long term need, financial hardship and /or illness, by providing a
prescribed subsidy, enabling the children to attend 4-year-old community run kindergartens where they would
otherwise be excluded. Funds are paid to the kindergarten directly.
Again, we have seen another year of increased demand, from 50 (2014 kinder year) to 68 (2016 kinder year)
families being supported across 13 community run kindergartens.
Youth Exchange Student
RC North Balwyn and RCB have agreed to co-host a youth exchange student for 12 months. An MOU between
the clubs has been signed and the student (Moritz Ellermann) is due to arrive in July 2016. His first host family
is the Brockmans of RCB, and he will be attending Trinity Grammar school.
Boroondara Family Network
We have supported this organisation for some time, although it had become apparent they were struggling to
survive financially. Conversations with staff at Camcare and Boroondara Council Maternal & Child Health Care
made it clear the BFN is a valued service as there is no other organisation providing the same care, and it is
worth RCB continuing to support. However, we desired to do more than simply provide temporary relief with
funds. Further to a call going out to several local Rotary clubs Hans Carlsberg (or RC Hawthorn) has come
forward to assist with developing a Business Plan to build financial sustainability.
CHANCES Scholarships
The Foundation Boroondara scholarship program commenced in 2006, after commissioned research
highlighted considerable levels of scattered poverty in Boroondara, especially affecting young people.
Between 2006 and 2014 it provided scholarships to 384 secondary or tertiary students who study or live in
Boroondara, with demand growing each year. In 2015, Foundation Boroondara was re-constituted to become
Annual Report 2015-2016

Youth Services
Boroondara Cares Foundation. The scholarship programs continue unaltered. RCB has committed funds of
$6,000 for each of 3 years 2015-17.
Circus Quirkus
In 2016, as for at least the last 3 years, our club has supported 50 children with special needs and their carers
to attend the Circus Quirkus event organised by RC Preston.
Public Speaking Skill Development Workshops
In late 2012 and early 2013, RC Balwyn ran workshops for secondary school students in Boroondara interested
in developing public speaking skills. The success of these, and the keen responses from numerous schools
approached, has enabled us to now offer the program directly to students in their own schools.
This program is facilitated by RC Balwyn, working with the CHANCES Scholarship manager and the skilful team
of trainers at Freedebate, a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to the development of debating and public
speaking skills. The principle aim of the program is to encourage interest in, and develop public speaking skills
in students. It is not a competition, but a focus on developing the skills across a wider number of students who
see the benefits of public speaking. This year we have also updated and improved the brochure.
Courses this year have been conducted at the following with further in planning for the second half of 2016.
 Ashwood Secondary College, October 2015
 Auburn High School, July 2015
 Camberwell High School, August 2015`
RCB members were very pleased in July to have a public speaking presentation by four students from Auburn
HS, together with a short presentation by the school principal expressing appreciation and highlighting the
value of such community partnerships.
It has been a privilege and a pleasure to co-ordinate the Youth Services committee, a small but dedicated
team.

Summary of Rotary Club Finances for 2015/16
The Club, which is made up of the “club” (“all member related” activities) and “grants” (the net proceeds
received from the Rotary Sunday Market for distribution to deserving charities). Each of these two
components are recorded and reported on separated in the management accounts of the Rotary Club of
Balwyn. For statutory account purposes these two components are reported on separately in the notes to the
annual statutory report – a summary of the structure of the Rotary Club of Balwyn has been enclosed at the
end of this report.
Your treasurer is happy to report that the “club” component made an unaudited surplus of $21 for the year
ending 30 June 2016 (prior year the club made a deficit of $8,539). This surplus was ameliorated by a profit of
$4,175 on the December 2015 “club” raffle.

Income and Expenditure 2015 -2016
The revenue and expenditure lines that have improved / deteriorated over the four years are;
1. Club fundraising, which includes sergeants’ fines and gold pot, but in 2015/6 had the additional
$4,175 profit on the club raffle. This raffle will need to be continued in future years to allow the club
to rebuild its corpus.
2. The relationship between the revenues and expenditures on club functions and events. In 2015/6 a
surplus of $99 was made after all charge backs to Grants and the Education Foundation. In prior
years’ “club” functions and events have resulted in sizeable losses (2014/5 - $4,412, 2013/4 - $1,102
and 2012/3 - $3,525). In 2015/6 all revenues were matched with expenses. The “club” had and to an
extent still has issues with no or late apologies at weekly fellowships, which results in the “club” being
charged for meals. In 2016/7, meals have gone up from $30, to $33 from 1 September 2016, which
should result in an extra $4,800 in “club” function and events profits,
3. Club operational costs while down on 2014/5, still represents a large chunk of “club” expenditure to
manage for a club our size, and
4. Rotary affiliation costs, while uncontrollable, represent a very high percentage of the annual member
subsidies. In 2015/6 this was over 75% of member subscriptions.

Income and Expenditure 2015 -2016
The revenue and expenditure lines that have improved / deteriorated over the four years are;
1. Interest received revenues have effectively worsened over the years as the interest environment has
eroded. This applies equally to service projects interests.
2. 2013/4 was a bumper year for Rotary Sunday Market with net revenues from grant operations
peaking at $804,459. On a budget of $760k for 2015/6, only $743,733 was transferred – a shortfall of
$16,267. The reason for this drop was bad weather in July and August 2015, but also due to several
stalls being closed for maintenance / building works that occurred at the back of the Camberwell
Market.
3. Grants paid in 2014/5 peaked at $919,779, and has dropped off significantly in 2015/6 to $574,659.
The bigger spend in 2014/5 was brought about by a large carry forward uncommitted grant balance
on the balance sheet at 30/6/2014 of $302,800. The overspend in 2014/5 of circa $141,083 was
absorbed by the uncommitted grants balance on the balance sheet, which left a balance of $89,398 at
1 July 2015. Due to the lower grant spend in 2015/6 of $574,659, this uncommitted grant reserve on
the balance sheet has built up again to $285,890.
4. Grants approved and not all paid in 2014/5 was $1,013,432 against $806,971 in 2015/6. This was a
wise decision as the “club” and “grants” activities need to be consolidated.
The Treasurer has for simplicity not included a summarised balance sheet and cash flow for these periods, but
these are the focus of the treasurer each month, to ensure that we can pay our bills as and when they fall due.
A detailed set of statutory accounts for 2015/2016 will be circulated to each member for the 2016 Annual
General Meeting. The treasurer will provide the members at this AGM a detailed overview of the “club” and
“grant” activities for the year, which comparatives from the preceding 2014/15 financial year.
