Serving the Community since 1985
Presidents Report It was great to see Georgy back for the third
time, and we look forward to inducting Max Darby next week. Lets
continue to use our personal connec-tions and our high profile at
the moment, with events like the Farmers Market, to keep looking
for potential members. This week is a busy week in Rotary with our
regular meeting, Bayside Council presentation, Beaumaris Primary
100
th, Royal Melbourne Mayoral Golf Day
and our third Farmers Market. It was a first for me to represent
Rotary and formally speak at a Bay-side Council meeting. We were
supporting the pro-posal, along with eight others from Traders
associ-ations, Rotary and other organisations to have Christmas
decorations. It made me realise we should have an active interest
in what council is discussing and be prepared to represent a view
if it is important to the principles of Rotary or our com-munity.
For those of us with elderly parents, our guest speaker this week,
Michael Robinson, provided an insight into the issues in managing
the complex tri-angle between the elderly, the family and provider
organisations. I will be representing Rotary at the official ground
breaking for the Melbourne Indigenous Transition School. This is a
project that is being championed by David Hone and has received
support from our

club. Six of us spent a few hours supporting the Beaumaris
Primary School 100
th. Our main
task was being a Talking Melway to help guide pedestrians to the
entrance. We also took the opportunity to promote our upcoming
Farmers Market, which by all feedback from those we talked to, is
well known and well liked by our local community. Next week we have
our own Richard Shermon helping understand the complexities of Tax
Planning, and Mary Sealy will keep us legally correct as
chairperson.

SHIJI: MLMIN ROPLQOQ,
TOHLM: LLRLQS IQIHIQIQTN T HOUI With a career spanning over 28
years in differ-ent areas, Michael is a leader in strategy and
change. He has specific expertise in process redesign, market
research, strategic and ser-vice planning, process-based costing,
facility development and business planning. Michael successfully
introduced new approaches to Vic-torias ambulance services,
maternity services, aged care and other areas. He developed a
commercial approach to government-funded health service
directories, in which he retains an interest. His partner is Dr.
Gil Tidhar. Gil has over 25 years experience in research,
development and commercialisation of advanced technologies, ranging
from artificial intelligence, decision sup-port systems to advanced
simulation technolo-gy. Gil successfully founded, grew and sold a
software business to a multi-national. He re-tains an interest in
academia and collaborations between research, government and
commercial organisations. Gil contributes, on a volunteer basis, to
the leadership of community and sporting organizations. Michaels
experience in age care and health services lead him to perceive a
developing problem. An ageing population needing more care but
wanting to leave their homes while the global demand for health
care services ex-plodes. He and his partner offered LivBetter as
one alternative solution to this dilemma.
What is LivBetter? To quote from their website; LivBetter is an
online marketplace for support and care. A place where family,
friends, volun-teers and service providers can connect, sup-port
each other and share the care. LivBetter makes it easy to arrange
and offer the support needed. Why did we create LivBetter? The Pain
Point As we confront ageing, most of us worry about: Losing our
independence, dignity and control; Not being able to do what we
want, how we
want; Becoming a burden on our families and society; and having
to leave our homes because the care load falls unsustainably on one
person. Around the world support systems for older people do not
meet the needs, expectations and aspirations of the next generation
of retir-ees the baby boomers. Something has to change not just the
retire-ment age! Now theres LivBetter. With LivBetter we aim to
make it easy for any-body to: Make a difference at any age by
helping others; Organise the support we need to live at home,
longer; Share the care and tap into the goodwill and resources of
family, friends and our local com-munity; and Build supportive
communities; better places to grow up and grow old. LivBetter helps
create The New Old Age in the hands of the Baby Boomer generation
the great lifestyle re-inventors.

In the Hole Photograph by Christoph Jorda, National Geographic
To get this shot, taken in Austria, Christoph Jorda set up two
Profoto B1 flash systems: one on top of the ice cave and one
inside. We had to dig out the en-trance of the cave because it was
almost totally closed by the snow you see in the foreground, Jorda
writes. The problem? According to Jorda, the ice cave was at an
altitude of nearly 3000 metres the temperature was at minus 20C,
and the flash didnt work properly. So he [had] to jump a cou-ple of
times to get it right, he says.
