VOLUNTEER DRIVERS FOR MOONEE VALLEY CITY COUNCIL L2P PROJECT Moonee Valley City Council has obtained funding from VicRoads for a motor vehicle which will be used to help learner drivers attain the government-mandated 120 hours of driving practice. The project is aimed at new drivers under 21 years of age who have no access to a private vehicle and no familial supervisory driver. Council is seeking community sponsorship of the vehicle and are approaching a number of local organisations including Westpac. The Rotary Club of Essendon may assist in this regard at some stage. They are also looking for volunteer supervisory drivers who will complete a Council-funded, VicRoads training course. If you would like further information about the training or would like to assist in this worthwhile community project, please contact Steve Roe.

5 A place to put things Myanmar Don't miss out! Have ever thought about going to Myanmar (Burma)? Never got around to it, well knows the time to plan for March next year. The RCE trip to Burma leaves March 27th 2010 and has lots to offer for a two week extravaganza into what was once the British Empires' Jewel. Your trip will take you to Bagan said to rival and exceed Angkor Wat, then back to Rangoon for some serious Rotary work at schools, hospitals and charitable groups. hen down to the Delta to review the RCE housing project. Finally having completed our official work we travel to the Bay of Bengal and Ngapali Beach for some well earned R&R. See Richard Lawrence or Tim Anderson - numbers are limited. ROTARY CLUB OF ESSENDON We have now taken over from the Rotary Club of Essendon North in hosting Polish exchange student, Maciej Kiedrowski. Maciej spent a week at Torquay with Michael Mahoney and is now with Steve & Kerry Roe. While four or five families will be the main hosts, the aim is to share the responsibility throughout the Club. All members are encouraged to welcome Maciej into their homes for a meal or invite him along on a family outing. Shine on Awards Focus on the ability of those with disability The Shine On Awards are an Australia-wide Rotary initiative that recognises outstanding achievement by people with disabilities who disregard their personal situations to serve others in the community. Potential nominees must not only be a shining example to others through their individual actions in coping with their particular condition, but must also be actively involved in community service for the benefit of others. Nominees need to have demonstrated a significant level of achievement through their actions and leadership. For example: Personal success in overcoming the disability. Membership of and leadership in community groups. Service to the community and a history of community achievement. Other special awards or forms of recognition. Awards are presented in two categories Youth (between 15 and 21 years of age) and Adult (21 years and over). This is a wonderful way to acknowledge and congratulate members of our community who manage to excel despite their disability. Please let Steve Roe know if you would like to nominate someone for this important award. Please let Steve Roe know if you can assist with accommodation or would like to offer some short-term hospitality to our young visitor.

If treated with care I can be great, And if betrayed I will break. What am I? Riddle two My tines be long, My tines be short My tines end ere My first report. What am I? Riddle three My thunder comes before the lightning; My lightning comes before the clouds; My rain dries all the land it touches. What am I? Answers in sponsor page Sleeping Problems An exhausted looking blond dragged herself in to the doctor's office. "Doctor, there are dogs all over my neighborhood. They bark all day and all night, and I can't get a wink of sleep." "I have good news for you," the doctor answered, rummaging through a drawer full of sample medications. "Here are some new sleeping pills that work like a dream. A few of these and your trouble will be over." "Great," the blond answered, "I'll try anything. Let's give it a shot." A few weeks later the blond returned, looking worse than ever. "Doc, your plan is no good. I'm more tired than before!" "I don't understand how that could be", said the doctor, shaking his head. "Those are the strongest pills on the market!" "That may be true," answered the blond wearily, "but I'm still up all night chasing those dogs and when I finally catch one it's hard getting him to swallow the pill!"
