I have felt genuinely encouraged, supported and affirmed by all of you through this journey and this has made my year so easy and enjoyable. I would like to thank the board members for their wisdom and perspective in the decisions we have made in our meetings. Our discussions have been stimulating and I really appreciated working with such a considered and cohesive group of people. 2

4 Through our involvement in projects such as Operation Cleft, the Whitehorse Charity Golf day, Rotary Recycle, Whitehorse Farmers Market, our Business Breakfast and the Police Band Concert that we have been able to raise and allocate funds to the amazing sum of $310,000. Of this amount approximately $260,000 has been raised by Operation Cleft from individual donors, Rotary clubs throughout Australia, and overseas donors, principally from within Bangladesh itself. These funds have gone to develop healthier, safer and more educated communities locally, nationally and internationally.

5 Support to Rotary Programs The Rotary Foundation Polio Plus (Rotary s wonderful project to rid the world of Polio, now with only three countries left with endemic polio). Australian Rotary Health ROMAC (Rotary Oceania Medical Aid for Children) District youth programs: o RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards); o RYPEN (Rotary Youth Program of Enrichment); and o MUNA (Model United Nations Assembly) So you can see though the generosity of your time, energy and personal giving we as a club have certainly succeeded in effecting positive change to local and international communities in all six of Rotary International s key areas of focus 1. Peace and conflict prevention/resolution; 2. Disease prevention and treatment; 3. Water and sanitation; 4. Maternal and child health; 5. Basic education and literacy; and 6. Economic and community development. As a club we have had an outstanding speaker program, bulletin and website. We have developed ongoing strategic planning, marketing and membership program. Socially we have enjoyed BBQs, restaurant and theatre nights. One major event was the relocation of the Rotary Recycle shop in May. I would like to thank the Rotary Recycle committee, especially Sue Floyed, for the coordination and organisation of the logistics that this entailed. Thank you to the Rotarians and volunteers who gave so many hours to the success of this move and the ongoing running of this shop. 4

6 As a club we were honoured to have our own member Brian Martin as Governor of District 9810 for the year 2012/13. A year in which he provided excellent leadership to the forty-nine clubs making up our District. Brian was partnered by his lovely wife Sue who made her own wonderful contribution to the term of office by sponsoring the Cambodian Children s Fund and then visiting India to take part in the Polio Plus campaign. A highlight of the year was the organ-isation of the superb District Confer-ence in Wangaratta in March. I would, again, like to express the Club s appreciation to those members of the Club who were involved in planning the event under the chairmanship of Geoff Limmer, all those who worked to make the conference run smoothly over the three days of the conference, and during the set up and packing up process. Well done to all of you. It has been so gratifying to see how club members, and partners, have strongly supported each other throughout the year both in their roles within the club, but also in taking time to care for each other in their, at times, challenging personal circumstances. It is this caring attitude which makes me proud and honoured to say that I am a member of the Rotary Club of Box Hill Central. In making this point I must particularly acknowledge the sad loss of Sue Henry, and the recent ill health of Lesley Bell and Ralston Wood. I would like to thank my husband David for his complete support for my role this year and to my parents and children who have encouraged me to develop my skills and confidence. I know that the club will continue to flourish and excel in the following years under the leadership of our next President Bruce Mc Ewen. and President Elect Don Sweeney. Michelle Hart Club President,
