FROM OUR VICE P. PRESIDENT –
FROM THE EDITOR’S ASSISTANT – PAM POINTERS. Informal but intimate dinner and chat was had by all.
Greg reminded that bookings for Gina Hogan concert needed to be made and encouraged.
Visit by DG Neville John and AG Gary McClure to be meeting 16th August.
Fundraising night in conjunction with RC Bendigo South to be held at the Bendigo South Football
rooms at the QEO on Wednesday 17th August. Guest Speaker Robert Walls.
Proceeds to go to the Cambodian House. (Australian Cambodian Children’s Task
Force). $40 per head and drinks at bar prices. A fun night is ensured.
Helen Steele informed that a box of 4 puddings for $7 was still available. A great sweet on a cold
night with custard and a ‘bit’ of cream and some people are known to have ice cream as well!
The launch of our wine is set for Friday 23rd September. Please give some thought about the sale of
this wine - what CAUSE would like to for this money to go to. We need to have a “cause” and then
ask your friends and potential members along to the night for great fun and friendship. The
subject of “cause” will be discussed at our meeting on the 9th August.
Regards Pam
Once again our esteemed member Ken Longford is in John Lindell Rehabilitation Centre for the fitting
of his PROSTHESTISTS. His new sexy leg is looking good and hopefully after a few weeks of physio
he will be in training for his first marathon.
May all news be good news!

Australian Rotary Health – Lift the Lid on mental illness campaign - starts Friday 7 October
The aim of our campaign is to raise funds from the general public to significantly increase our research into mental illness prevention. There is no greater problem currently facing our society and, if we are to help future generations of young Australians, we need to do something now. There are several fine organisations which treat and support those with mental health issues … but we want to look ahead and learn through research how to prevent these illnesses happening."

Gina has performed both in Australia and across the world in some of the most loved theatre productions of our time, as well as performing her own shows across the country. Her first professional role was in the musical Scrooge at Melbourne’s Princess Theatre, which started her love affair with the grand theatre. Gina went on to perform in Beauty and the Beast, followed by Mamma Mia! and finally The Witches of Eastwick.
She also has a long association with Andrew Lloyd Webber’s hit production CATS, beginning with a national tour, Cats - Runaway to the Circus, and then performing through South Korea and Athens, playing the role of Jellylorum/Griddlebone.
For the past five years, Gina has been performing her one woman shows in theatres across the country: The Women of the 60’s, The Belles of Broadway and Night and Day – the Doris and Shirley Show. She has also sung with some of the most successful bands on the corporate circuit and now fronts her own band, The Gina Hogan Band. She is a voiceover artist, has appeared in television commercials and corporate videos, and was a regular artist on Good Morning Australia.
By all accounts those who have seen her perform shows say that she is Sensational!
