Our club has the opportunity to participate in discussions with other Rotary Clubs in Central Victoria with regard to a proposal to establish a local facility along the lines of the Rotary Inner Melbourne Emergency Relief Network (or otherwise known as RIMERN).
This idea has long been simmering in the background as to its potential within central Victoria, but now we have a Rotarian in the area who is keen to get the ball rolling to investigate the potential of such a facility. Gary Pinner, Rotary Club of Bendigo South, invited all 14 clubs in our Rotary Community Group to join together on a zoom meeting on Friday 24th October to open the discussions and to gauge the level of interest within the clubs.
All club leaders have been asked to speak with their club's members in the hope of encouraging those with an interest in this idea to join in on the initial discussions. Participation will help to determine the potential for the establishment of such a facility. For those members not familiar with what the program can look like, here is a link the RIMERN website - giving you an idea as to what could eventuate locally.

For members interested in more information, speak with President Geoff, we will also have the opportunity to have Gary Pinner as a guest speaker to share with our members on the potential of the project and the progress made to date.
