Presidents Report We are well and truly back into the Rotary Year. I had the pleasure of pre-senting to Malcolm Sawle a Paul Harris sapphire recognition on Thursday night, another example of the quiet dedication and commitment which so many in our club make. Greg sourced another interesting and illuminating speaker, Greg Wills and we welcomed Pamela Page from the Concourse Chemist and Mary Cunnington a golfing friend of Megan's.

Peter and Helen Brown, ex Rotary Club of Chelsea spoke about their relo-cation to Fiji and possible service projects in Fiji in conjunction with their new Rotary Club there. The previous day Tony had organised for keen golfers to have the round of golf at VGC, postponed from the very hot day, thanks Tony. Peter and Heather gave us more information about the continuation of the Farmers Market (February 13th for the next one), and that the Bayside Councillors are going to use the market as a listening post for the next few months. Chris is looking for volunteers for the Day on Oak Street on the 14th of February, and Richard has been signing us up for the next fellowship event, the Film " Spotlight" on the 18th of February, see Richard if you'd like to attend, $20 per head including a glass of wine. The reviews say it is rivet-ing, it is a story of the journalists who investigated the Boston diocese's cover up of abuse. Shirley, Megan, Louise and I, with advice from Ken have chosen the theme for our "dress up" for the Conference, "Dancing with the Stars". This will give maximum potential for us to frock up, particularly in 80s glam. Next week we have Clem Quick giving his new member talk and the week after Lois Lindsay, we will be in for a treat.

Yours in Rotary Trish

Lottery Results

The People’s Choice Lottery has been drawn for another year. Un-fortunately I could not see any winning tickets from our Club. Howev-er it was fascinating to see the diverse range of community groups this lottery supports.

� While only one of the attendees, the cartoonist, Riss, was

shot in the attack the others have varying degrees of emo-

tional scarring from the event. Many members have left the

organisation but have been replaced.

� The meeting took place within a heavily fortified bunker within

the offices of the newspaper Liberation, the new home of CH.

The office is heavily fortified by French Government security.

� The CH journalists had good knowledge of political events in

Australia while Greg was able to brief them on aspects of

Asian issues where the AIIA are particularly knowledgeable

e.g. North Korea)

� While the circulation of CH had been trending down the

events of 7 January 2015 have reversed that.

� The strong satirical flavour of CH is undaunted.

Speaker: Greg Wills

Topic: Charlie Hebdo

Greg Wills is a Council Member of the Australian Institute of Interna-

tional Affairs Victorian Branch.

The Australian Institute of International Affairs (AIIA) is an independ-

ent, non-profit organisation seeking to promote interest in and under-

standing of international affairs in Australia.

It provides a forum for discussion and debate, but does not seek to

formulate its own institutional views. The Institute arranges programs

of lectures, seminars, workshops, conferences and other discussions,

and sponsors research and publications. The AIIA was formed in

1924 and established as a federal body in 1933 and is the only nation

-wide organisation of its kind in Australia. It is financed by members’

contributions, a small government subvention and tax deductible

donations from individuals and businesses.

The AIIA consists of a number of independent branches, which are located in seven Australian States and Territories, and a National Office in Canberra. In addition, close contact is maintained with the Royal Institute of International Affairs, Chatham House, and with sister institutes and similarly minded organisations around the world. The AIIA provides a wide range of opportunities for the dissemination

of information and free expression of views on these matters through

discussion and publication. Precluded by its constitution from ex-

pressing any opinion of its own on international affairs, the AIIA pro-

vides a forum for the presentation and discussion of a wide range of

views.

AIIA was voted the top think tank in South East Asia and the Pacific

in the Global Go To Think Tanks Index in 2015. For more information

Late last year Greg met with five current members of the French satir-

ical magazine Charlie Hebdo (CH). He regarded it as one of the

great highlights of his life.

In his talk he talked broadly about the meeting, the people he met

and provided many illustrations of the hard hitting, often risqué, car-

ton style for which the paper is known.

Highlights of the meeting included;

� The meeting was only agreed to because of the high regard

in which AIIA is held. Efforts by Australian politicians to have

similar meetings were rejected.

� Greg and his party were under tight security from the time

they landed at Charles de Gaulle airport.

Translation: In memory of the victims of the terrorist attack

against the freedom of speech perpetrated inside of the offices

of Charlie Hebdo 7 January 2015.

Wind Down

Your Shot member Vic Buhay went on a photo road trip with a colleague through Utah and Arizona. At their first stop, Bryce Canyon National Park, they hiked the Navajo Loop Trail. “This view opened up as this trail turned into a twisting and winding [path] to the bot-tom of the valley below,” he says. “The setting sun's golden light bounced all over the red rock walls of the canyon.”
