Paul Butler, Incoming President of the RC of Melton Central, & his wife Jenny, best mates of the Struk family

Boris is himself the parent of a son affected by MD, and has been largely responsible for building the organization from a small entity to an organization that today reaches people globally.

Assistant District Governor Austin Burleigh with members Colin Bell & Barbara Wyatt

“My son Ryan has been the catalyst for the growth and achievement of MDA. I recall my first day on the job as a volunteer, walking into a small office over which we had just taken out a six year lease, in Ascot Vale.

Boris’ wife Ineke with Ryan.

The enormity of the task ahead quickly struck me when all I could find for a chair was an old orange crate. But we have come a long way since then, building a team of dedicated staff and volunteers who can be proud of the achievements we have made in recent years.

Today we are providing many valuable services to thousands of Australians, and we are also rapidly forging strong relationships with people overseas affected by MD. We are not an organization that believes in geographic boundaries and are very happy to provide an outreach service to people who need our help and advice, wherever they may live."

WHITE PAGES

Boris will be featured on the front cover of this year's White Pages, soon to be hitting your doorstep.

He was chosen as the new face of the White Pages as part of the Keeping Our Communities Healthy campaign, which recognises the selfless Australians who go above and beyond to improve the quality of life for locals in their area.

Each year, Sensis, the publisher of the White Pages, recognises the efforts of local people in their communities by celebrating their achievements on the cover of its books.

Please read on for Boris’ Opening Address to the Club, where he sets out his vision and plans for his Presidential year.

MEN & WOMEN OF ROTARY:

ASK NOT WHAT THE CLUB CAN DO FOR YOU.......

It was indeed a stirring moment today to

witness the induction of Boris as President.

For the first time we have a person whose

profession is about taking up a social justice

issue, and fundraising.

Both of these matters are important for the

Club too, so to have this symmetry with Boris is

fantastic for us!

This is a unique opportunity for us to sit at

Boris’ feet as he runs his slide rule over our

activity and shows us ways to do things better.

As a Club we need to all support Boris as much

as we can, as we know that he is seriously

busy in running MDA, and also looking after his

son Ryan, who is affected by MD.

It is essential for all Members to become

involved in the Club activities, and not wait for

Boris to tap us on the shoulder! Each of us

have things that we like to do around the Club,

and we must tell Boris what we would like to

do for the Club this year.

I am constantly surprised how members

suddenly bob up and do something very

impressive for the Club, without me knowing

that the member has the skill or the interest.

So please, pick up the phone and call Boris, or

send him an email!

T.A.

OPENING ADDRESS TO THE CLUB BY BORIS M. STRUK

Men and Women of Rotary, It is with pleasure that I accept the honour of being appointed the 79th President of The Rotary Club of Essendon.

OPENING COMMENTS A Club with a rich history, steeped in tradition and extraordinary achievements. My contact with Rotary began in 1994 after being recruited by Past President Anne Rogers. Rotarians typify the ideal of the quiet Australian and are the 'Champions of the Cause' at the local, national and international level. Championing goes beyond the simple promotion of something and implies great effort in support of an ideal. For Rotarians, our values are the basis of our citizenship and sense of community. In my life, the Rotary values prevail for me as a father, husband, citizen and as the Executive Director of Muscular Dystrophy Australia. These values transgress all I do. I do my best to uphold these values in everything I do. Having a common value system through all facets of my life, can be overwhelming with so much to be done with too little time to do it. It is frustrating but I never allow for it to be defeating. My time in Rotary reveals that I am not alone, and our organization provides a medium for all of us to gather and focus our energies, to remedy many (but not all!) of the challenges we face. I look forward to working with like-minded people as we strive to better our community. To be an individual champion is a lonely pursuit, but to be a Rotary Champion reflects individual commitment to collective strength.

With Passion; A Rotary Champion needs to have fire in the belly. Fuelled by passion and its potential to change the way we work, live, play. This should be the driving force in order to make things happen. With Innovation; Within the paradigm of a changing world, a Rotary Champion recognises that this means doing things differently, from a different angle and perspective. No longer does the old saying of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" hold water. The changing world and changing societal values demand innovation. As Rotarians we should be driving this. Collaboration; Rotary comprises an eclectic membership with an abundance of skill from a diverse vocational pool. While the construct of Rotary defines its avenues of service into silos, we need to bridge these silos and work as a whole. There is a need to appeal to all Rotarians, some with completely different objectives. Being open to collaboration with such a varied membership team is what will make for formidable results. The power of one - multiplied 75 fold. Courage; Finally, as Rotary Champions we're learning all the time, and the best way to learn is by trying out new methods in achieving the absolute best result for our local, national and international communities. Courage to take on a program that can make a significant difference to those people in our society who are vulnerable, socially isolated or physically unable to perform the tasks we all take for granted. As Rotary Champions we're also the type of people who'll get the biggest sense of satisfaction from leading the charge, leading the change and Making a Difference! In my more than full-time day gig I run an “open door” policy where staff are encouraged to meet with me on a daily basis, where minor niggles are circumvented before they become anything greater. I sincerely hope that the same applies to my Rotary commitment.

The last outcome I seek or desire is for a perception of divisiveness. We are all volunteers and seek to make the most for our community; local, national and international. Talk to me – not about me! Rotarian First - Committee Member Second – Instil club-wide approach - remove the blinkers of the single silo committee structure to utilise resources (people) more efficiently. In effect the Club should work as one large "committee". Great examples of whole-of-club projects include:

Relay for Life

Traffic School

Graffiti Day

DIK My aim is to bring all Rotarians on the journey with the common theme and projects. Strong belief in a "start date" - "end date" for projects. We are all familiar with the “fish versus fishing rod” metaphor. In my long experience in the NFP sector, in many cases there is an over-reliance on recurrent support by organisations and finally, when that support is shifted to another cause, significant problems can prevail. It is my strong belief that support Rotary provides should be the catalyst to establish and cement new programs and projects then moved along – to “spread the love” to another organisation. The RDNS project is a great example of a finite project. Effecting self-sufficiency is the greatest motivator for any organisation and in getting things done – for delivering support to where it’s needed the most. I will be asking all Committees to evaluate existing projects. Determine which have a

completion date and provide recommendations on where next we move our support. All proposed projects to first be presented to Board for consideration and if approved effect deployment - not presented as a fait accompli. The Program Year The format of lunch meetings will remain much the same however the program content will be tweaked. I am seeking to:

provide two Guest Speakers per month on a fortnightly basis

A variation on the theme of the “Person Behind The Badge” – most of us have hobbies and interests that other Rotarians may not be aware of. The new monthly segment – in the absence of a better title, will be called – Rotarians Recreational Release. So that you as Club Members get to know me, I’ve put myself up as the first victim to present on my recreational interests.

The final meeting of the month will encompass Board & Committee reports, a Sergeants’ Session with “fine & fun”. I would like to see fun and fellowship featured.

PROJECTS FOR THE YEAR Status Quo – Not the Band – but Projects As already stated, I will be asking all Committees to evaluate existing projects. Determine which have a completion date and provide recommendations on where next we move our support.

Graffiti Day/s – This was a wonderful project with great community benefit and RC PR.

It’s an established fact that the best deterrent is to get rid of graffiti ASAP and frequently. Typically after the third removal the “artists” move on.

This is a high visibility project in our community and I would like to see it evolve to perhaps a quarterly event with fun and fellowship incorporated and the geographic area expanded.

Car Show – Since mid-2012, informal discussion have been held with senior management at Essendon Fields with the view of establishing an annual event of Planes, Bikes and Automobiles at Essendon Fields. Income generated from the event would be untagged and for use on a discretionary basis by the RCE Board. It is proposed to conduct the RCE Car Show in the March period close the F1 GP and possibly the long-weekend. Invitations will be extended to the traditional “muscle car” car clubs, Ferrari, Lamborghini and the Harley Owners Groups. Essendon Fields will provide show-bags (we need to fill them) and assist with publicity. The local tenants eg flying schools and choppers have indicated interest in making their flying vehicles available to “joy flights”. I’m keen to establish a whole of Club Committee to run with this as a major project. The only down-side to this project is that despite nobody running with the concept of a car show since inception of the aerodrome in 1921, several months ago Essendon Fields had an approach from another local Rotary Club to run a similar event and also from Make a Wish. I’m very keen to establish our Club and our event at Essendon Fields with the view of greater participation and potentially introduction of new Club projects at this venue in the future. This is in synergy with the marketing plans espoused by Essendon Fields management.

Men’s Shed – Simon Cookson has been working quietly behind the scenes trying to garner the support of Moonee Valley Council to resource the establishment of a Men’s Shed in Strathmore. The level of interest and commitment from Council is more than high. This is a wonderful project requiring relatively short-term support for the Club. Master’s Hardware have already agreed to sponsor partial fit-out with tools and provision of in-store amenities to conduct tutorials.

Rotary Presents – I’m keen to run with this early next year and believe that with the right presenter and focus we will have a very marketable program to attract a wider audience. If as individual Rotarians you would like to form a sub-committee to conduct Rotary Presents, please let your respective Committee Chairs know. We have potentially a 9 to 10 month lead time.

eMDA – Emergency Medical Details Alert – Is a USB device containing an editable PDF with more than 130 fields encompassing all relevant medical details. Eg, emergency contact details, health insurance, medications / dosage, diagnosis, GP and other medical specialist contact details. This is an MDA initiative and five Rotary Clubs have already shown interest in selling the eMDA. The selling price is $24.95 with the split being as follows $10 retained by the RC, $10 to MDA and $4.95 to cover production and distribution cost. The target market for the eMDA is anybody and everybody -Schools, clubs, workplace (union) and personal. The potential income for Rotary and MDA is significant. Just do the mental math – a school takes this on for students 500 sold equates to an income of $5,000 to the RC - same for MD.

One RC is taking this project to District and beyond to have this endorsed as a Rotary project and badged accordingly.

Ten Rotarians donate just one hour for the year – The MDA runs a day program for a small group and once a month we conduct a social support group for a wider audience of people from the MD Community. This meeting can attract 15 to 20 people. Many are socially isolated and would gain so much from hearing about what we as Rotarians call “The Person Behind The Badge”. I am inviting individual Rotarians to consider coming in once during the course of the year to present on perhaps the behind the scenes of their chosen vocation.

CONCLUSION In closing, I have had many a sleepless night thinking about this coming Rotary Year and the support I would like to secure for Muscular Dystrophy Association an Australia-wide organisation that supports one in 1,000 in the Australian community affected by Muscular Dystrophy. I don’t want to convey support for a project that may be divisive or perceived as opportunistic. I have canvassed advice from within the Club with Past Presidents, at District level and Past DG’s. One DG even commented that the success of any project is determined by the passion, enthusiasm and motivation of the individual driving the project. I’m not short on passion! Personal motivation is the best driver. I’m not short on personal motivation either! In the Past DG’s case, there was not an inkling of that perception I’m concerned about – the thought of opportunism and creating divisiveness within the RC Essendon. The benchmark was set a number of years ago when a Club Members’ organisation was the recipient of absolutely marvellous support of the RC Essendon – that being RDNS.

I seek support for the Club’s consideration in helping to expand the MDA premises in North Melbourne – which we own. The MDA is located within the Monee Valley catchment area. We have an identified need to expand the internal space to provide for social meetings, support groups and seminars. This space and the MDA’s Conference room would be made available (as they are now) to other non-related organisations. RC Essendon could even use the facility for its own fundraising – eg a trivia night as we have done so before. We are in need of a good local community project, one we can showcase and one that has wider reach than one community. As a Club, we have sought a good local community project, I am offering several for the Clubs consideration and for the Club’s support. At the outset I said - “Talk to me – not about me!” The same still stands. I want to build on what has been so successfully achieved in the past and more recently in Grant’s year and I want to continue making a difference to our local, national and international community. Yours in Rotary! Boris M. Struk President 2013-2014

A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR: Contact receives many letters and emails each week and I thought that I might publish them for a change. Send emails to taalaw@yahoo.com for our attention. There is no room for all of them this week, but here is correspondence from Jennifer Lawrence, Russell Brown, Ray Landgren, Don Knee and Darryl Lee.

Dear Editor,

HANDY TIPS Congratulations on becoming Contact editor for a few editions. Tim I really enjoyed all of those handy housekeeping tips in last year's Contact, but some of them were just silly. Can I supply one myself? Richard’s thongs were falling apart, and I fixed them with a bread ‘tie’! (See picture attached to this email.) Best Wishes, Jennifer Lawrence

Wow Jennifer, Richard is so lucky to have you come up with such inventive ideas. You certainly are saving on housekeeping money! Please keep them coming in. The Editor ------------------------------------------------------------ Dear Tim,

A CONCERN

When in the red robin did you last buy a decent living kettle of fish? I think they have forgotten how to make a proper cat and fiddle kettles these days. I blame the Chinese whispers, everything seems to be made in China now. I bought a skipper of a kettle drum down in Lincoln Road from a fighting man last week that was and already it has stopped a working class hero. You'd think it through that the Chinese junk would know how to make a kettle, after all we've been through this before, what with all those crates of China Tea. Do you agree? Russell Brown Dear Russell, I agree. The Editor

Dear Editor,

BREATHOMETER I am confounded as to what to do regarding my ongoing wine consumption. As you know I was the test monkey who blew in a breathometer at the Club meeting a few weeks ago, and I blew 0.041! I had drunk only one Fredrick’s glass of Sauvignon Blanc 40 minutes earlier!!!

I stupidly told Irene and she says that from now on I have to stick to double sarsaparillas at the North Suburban Club. (That’s where Thommo, June, Irene and I drink every Friday night.) Where do I go from here? Burp, Ray Landgren Dear Ray, First, I hear from good sources that you omitted to say that you had been to Probus that day, and for morning tea you consumed three Pimms & lemonades from a coupe shaped champagne glass, with cucumber sandwiches.

Second, cucumbers are not great for soaking up alcohol. Third, have Fredricks give you a shandy of ½ wine ½ lemonade just to be safe. Finally, you have lost your punching weight of late so if I were you I would accept Irene’s decision, as if you do not you will only end up in big trouble! Eating fish and chips every night in the doghouse whilst Irene dines in luxury inside won’t be much fun. The Editor. ------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Editor,

KNEE DEEP IN IT Janet and I had a very nasty trick played on us at Keilor Retirement Village the other day. As you know, we have been to the Margaret River winery area of Western Australia and we visited the Knee Deep Winery, kneedeepwines.com.au that was established by my Great Uncle Rufus many years ago.

After lots of back slapping and reminiscing we were presented with a complimentary case of the 2011 Rufus Shiraz which I had shipped home. However, by the time I got home, the snakes at KRV had stolen the case, drunk the wines, repacked the empty bottles and left them for us to collect! Janet and I were very angry and after a lengthy police investigation (called Operation Knee Deep) there are now 12 criminal cases of theft proceeding at Broadmeadows Magistrates Court. I have now received a replacement dozen – do you think that I should put one bottle on each table at the next Club luncheon for Club members to enjoy? Yours with concern, Don Knee Dear Don, I am glad that those residents at KRV are in deep sh** over your wines! They are so naughty and I hope that they all get long jail sentences. I think we have to be firm but caring with Club Members regarding consuming alcohol at lunchtime (see earlier letter from Ray Landgren). I suggest that you just bring say three bottles for the

President’s/Editor’s table for them to enjoy with you, and not risk it with other members who may not be able to drink alcohol responsibly. The Editor. ------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Editor

LAWYER JOKES I am still learning the professions of Club Members. And understand that we have no lawyers as members? Here is my joke: A now single local solicitor was shopping at Boundy’s Supermarket where he selected:

One litre of 2% fat milk,

Six eggs,

Two litres of orange juice,

A lettuce,

500 gm of coffee beans, and

Six rashers of bacon. As he was unloading the items at check out, a woman standing behind him watched. While the cashier was scanning the purchases, the woman calmly stated, “you must be single.” The solicitor was a bit startled by this proclamation, and was intrigued by the lady’s intuition, since he was indeed now single again. He looked at his six items on the belt and saw nothing particularly unusual about his selections that could have tipped off the woman to his marital status. Curiosity getting the better of him, he said “Well, you know what, you’re absolutely correct. But how on earth did you know that?” The lady replied, “Because you’re overweight and not at all handsome.” All the Best, Darryl Lee Dear Darryl, I have arranged for the President to cancel your membership of the Club, effective immediately. The Editor. ===========================

Holdover letters for next week: Ian Thomas – Recycling issues.

Richard Lawrence – My conversion experience.

Roger Leask – The dress code.

Anne Rogers – Bombs and incendiary devices.

Connie Maina – Reading Contact in Braille and large print.

Jack Honson – My $3,500 haircut. Is that what you pay in Essendon or have I been ripped??

GOTTA TAKE CARE Club Members carefully followed Graeme Wood’s horse Gotta Take Care that ran at Warrnambool in the Kevin Lafferty Quality Hurdle over 3,600 metres last Sunday. Led by Richard Lawrence, members laid many thousands of dollars of bets on the horse on an each way basis, reducing its odds from 10/1 to 7/1. The horse unfortunately ran second, but by paying around $2 for the place, all of the punters got their money back, ready to re-invest next time around! We await advice of the next outing for this horse, akin to Black Caviar.

Gotta Take Care jumping the hurdles at

Warrnambool on Sunday!

Gosh, how did the jockey not fall off?

This looks very spooky for both man and beast.

The jockey of Gotta Take Care was with us on President’s Night. Hey, he looks like the twin

brother of Lino Airo-Farulla!
