Vale John Moulding
The club received sad news this week that John Moulding, the son of our last surviving Foundation member Will Moulding, passed away last weekend.
Whilst John wasn’t directly a member of our club, being part of Will’s family made him part of our extended Rotary family.
Recently John and his partner Diane attended our 2010 Club Changeover as special guests of the club, so that John could help present the inaugural Will Moulding Brunswick Spirit of Rotary Award (to Greg Sewell). John remarked that he felt very honoured to be presenting the inaugural award in his dad’s name, and was very happy to be part of the event.

Our kindest thoughts and condolences go out to John’s family.
John’s funeral will be at the Renowden Chapel at Springvale Botanical Cemetery this coming Monday 16 July 2010 at 11:30am, to be followed by refreshments.
Our Newest Rotarian
At President Karin’s very first meeting of the year, she had one of the best jobs a president can perform: inducting a new member!
Hearty voices sang our special Brunswick induction song as we welcomed our newest Brunswick Rotarian, Beatrice Melita.
President Karin congratulates Beatrice on her induction into Brunswick Rotary
Beatrice is a former barrister, and nowadays a practicing psychologist who works with the Family Court and with private clients. She was also the first Leo in Victoria for Lions, some years back — Leos (aged 12 to 28 years) are the equivalent in Lions of Rotary’s Interact (aged 12 to 18 years) and Rotaract (aged 18 to 30 years) clubs… our future Rotarians.
2010-11 Rotary Theme
This year’s theme, as announced at the Rotary International assembly earlier in 2010 by RI 2010-11 President Ray Klinginsmith of the Rotary Club of Kirksville, Missouri, USA is …
The Rotary theme for 2010-11
From the official media page:
Klinginsmith said he arrived at the theme after reviewing RI themes of years past. He noticed that only a few spoke to non-Rotarians.
“As a result, I decided to search for a briefly stated theme that would fulfill two objectives: the first to explain Rotary to non-Rotarians, and the second to validate our work for Rotarians,” he said. “The words I have selected to describe Rotary’s current mission and to highlight our achievements are what we do best: Building Communities — Bridging Continents. ”
