Our grateful thanks to PP Michael Ramsay, Bruce and Marcus for their generosity in hosting an inspirational vocational visit to Lovitt Technologies last week. The sixty-four years evolution of Lovitt Tools to the now Lovitt Technologies Australia is an impressive and inspiring story. The transformation from tool making to now being Australia’s largest independent aircraft parts manufacturer is testament to the astute and intelligent business decisions that have been made by PP Mike, Bruce and Marcus in recent years. The success of Lovitt Technologies Australia, in this age of ever-increasing off-shore business ownership, just shows that the Aussies can still compete with the rest of the world. What an impressive story of achievement given what’s transpired with the automobile industry in recent years! PP Michael’s hospitality also extended to the provision of a very enjoyable meal which was greatly appreciated by Eltham Rotarians, partners and friends present. Our sincere thanks to PP Michael, Bruce and Marcus for a most enlightening and very enjoyable evening.Thank you also for donations made towards the Nepal project which were in excess of $700.
This week we break club membership records when we induct our youngest member, Karina Bilson, who will also become the first joint DV Rotaract/RCE member. Very exciting!
RCE’s Christmas function is on December 6th and please check the promotional flyer for the necessary details. We’re looking forward to having a very enjoyable evening at Ballara Receptions and weather permitting, we will be able to enjoy their beautiful outdoors area pre-dinner. BOOKINGS MUST BE MADE BY SUNDAY NOVEMBER 25TH so don’t dilly-dally and instead, please get online and book this week. https://www.TryBooking.com/447442 If you need help to book, then please see Ernita, Alison or Irene next Thursday evening.
Family of Rotary update – our thoughts are with Marion Hadingham who is currently undergoing a series of medical tests.

This week we are supporting Brett Linsell's fundraising for Movember.  Brett has participated in this event for a number of years.  The meeting will give members a history of Movember, the organisation and how the funds are used.
Dr Alan McCleary will be our guest presenter.  
ALL members-  ladies included are encouraged to be creative and come along with a moustache.  To assist Brett members who wear a moustache will donate $2, those who are NOT wearing one will be donating $5.  For you efforts there will be a prizes. So get working on growing or making your masterpiece ready for Thursday.

Support 'Movember' 2018
Once again I’m growing a ‘mo’ for Movember.  This is the 8th year that I have participated in this worthwhile charity.
You can support me by donating online or giving $$ to me and I’ll put it online for you.  If you do it yourself you can easily print off your receipt for tax purposes. Use the following to access my site
