ANNUAL REPORT
2010 – 2011
The Rotary Club of Horsham East Inc.
THE FOUR-WAY TEST
Of the things we think, say or do
Is it the TRUTH?
Is it FAIR to all concerned?
Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
The 4-Way Test was created by Rotarian Herbert Taylor in 1932 when he was asked to take
charge of the Chicago-based Aluminium Company, which was facing bankruptcy.
Taylor looked for a way to save the struggling company mired in depression-caused financial
difficulties.
He drew up a 24-word code of ethics for all employees to follow in their business and
professional lives. The 4-Way Test became the guide for sales, production, advertising and
all relations with dealers and customers.
The survival of the company was credited to this simple philosophy.

PRESIDENT’S REPORT
TANYA BARNES
Presidents Report 2010 -2011
It sounds glib to say it has been a
great and busy year, suffice to say it has
been a different year.
Robyn Lardner and the dedicated team for
ensuring everything came together filling
what was Rotarian Sue’s vision.
Our 40th Anniversary year started
with us still reeling from the unexpected
death of two Rotarians. However, Rotary
goes on and with no song and dance,
others stepped up to take on roles that had
not been in their plans for the year.
Christmas came and went with a
lovely dinner at the Natimuk Hotel and BBQ
at the Botanical Gardens. Then we were in
floods with Rotarians jumping to the call to
sandbag and support our own members,
extended
Rotarian family and the
community at large.
The first impact was Change Over
dinner, thankyou Gary Harper for trawling
through
Rotarian
Allan’s
computers
gathering photos and Gary Green for
putting together the annual report. Also
thanks to Gillian Vanderwaal for arranging
the Club Directory 2010-2011.
The Car Raffle was ultimately a
financial success but it was a struggle to fill
the roster. Do we need a change in the
system or find an alternate location or
maybe different times? Is this something
we need to reconsider before October 2011?
Next, the Art Show, it was with
gratitude I received several offers to take on
the role of Art Show Director. Thank you to
Fields Days started with a major
clean of the shed after the flood waters had
gone through. The BBQ went off without a

tractor cleaning was easier than usual with
a lot less dust in the air.
for the 2011/12 year, to will allow time for a
survey of stakeholders and review of how
the show will function for the next 20 years.

First
Foundation was our major fundraiser for the
year. The brainchild of Lyall Wheaton and
the team led by Peter Rafter ensured we
raised lots of money and we were all
spellbound by the voice of Emmanuel.
In amongst all this the vocational
Committee arranged our Inaugural Service
Excellence Awards.
Jim Lonsdale researched our 40th
Anniversary and a team led by Robyn
Lardner provided us with a wonderful night
of red carpet reminiscing and dancing. With
a 40’s dress theme, Pam Capstick and
Brenton Johnson (Johno) won best-dressed
individuals with Neil Popple and Di Albert as
best dressed couple.
Major decisions for the year included
not having a 12-month exchange student for
2010/11 but having a 3 month exchange
student Georgia Prestidge, from New
The Rotary clock is still in progress
after VicRoads refused our initial application,
however we are getting closer to getting the
clock finalised. We have sent hay to flood
ravaged areas, the Bob Mibus Sponsorship
was awarded to Kane McKinnon, PP Terry
Harris is our latest Paul Harris Fellow and
our program has involved visits to Horsham
Hydraulics and Jayco Caravans. Plus, we
had the pleasure of successfully nominating
Lion Jan Morris as Horsham citizen of the
Year 2011.
There are many to thank and only
one page to fill so please accept my
gratitude to you all for allowing me the
privilege of leading this wonderful club for
the Rotary year 2010-11.

The Club shared the experience of
attending businesses, Horsham Hydraulics,
Jayco Horsham, and the Horsham Race
Track and joined in playing Tenpin Bowls,
and Table Tennis.
The year started with a Life and Job
talk from Andrew Almond and ended with
the life and times of Sir John Monash. In
between we had information given to us
about topics such as the South Australian
and boarder and where it is not, sexual
assault, prison expansion, prostate cancer,
postcards of the Great War, Horsham
College Chaplaincy, Community Axis,
immigration
issues
facing
Horsham,
Wimmera Uniting Care, The Sheriff’s
Department, the Darwin Defenders story,
Issues facing our Council and our
community, local innovation by Anthony Op
de Coul, and a very entertaining
presentation about No Interest Loans.
However, the highlight of the past
year was the 40th Anniversary Dinner. It
was a wonderful event to celebrate the
enormous impact a Club like Rotary has on
the social, cultural and financial wellbeing,
of our community, our country and the world.
The Rotary Club of Horsham East is proud
of the wonderful contribution it has made to
our society in the last 40 years. And of
cause, who can forget the installing of Terry
Harris to the prestigious list of Paul Harris
Fellows.
We also had fun social events with a
quiz night on Australia Day, our Christmas
events, the 2010 meeting, and due to some
missing speakers, we had impromptu 2
minutes talks.
The Club also heard from Rotary
visitors and members about the Leadership
Program, attracting new members to Rotary,
Youth Debating, GSC program, Youth
Exchange, and Rotary Foundation.
We heard the life stories of Joy
Juma, Leigh Davies, Rotarians Ken Agnew,
Johno, and Robert Venning.
The biggest event for the year, the
Rotary Art Show was an outstanding
success and the Moira Kelly Fundraising
event another wonderful accomplishment by
the Club. I will let the Directors for these two
events speak on their behalf.
I finish my report by say that this role
has taught me a great deal about Rotary
and I appreciate all the speakers who gave
their time to educate and inform us on a
variety of issues.
I must also thank Tanya for her
support
throughout
the
year
and
congratulation her on her year as President.

Horsham East Rotary Club has
always had a strong involvement and
encouragement of Youth activities in our
community and endeavours to involve
young people in the many programmes that
Rotary promotes.
The Youth Committee this past
Rotary year consisted of Leon Forrest,
Peter Freckleton, Miao He, Trevor Howie,
Wendy James, Andrew Price, Peter Rafter
and Brydie Scollary. All members were
available
to
assist
and
organise
programmes without hesitation when
requested to do so and I thank them for
their efforts and time in making this
Committee again a strong backbone of our
club.
Victoria Thomsen from Denmark
joined our Club in July 2009 and left our
shores in July 2010 after having a very
enjoyable and educational year in Australia
and was one of the most amiable Exchange
students our Club has had the pleasure to
sponsor. Her counsellor, Pam Capstick
ensured that Victoria settled in well and the
Club thanks Pam for ensuring that Victoria
enjoyed her stay with Horsham East
Rotarians.
We had no nominations for 2011 for
Student Exchange and even though we did
have an outbound nomination for 2012, due
to schooling limitations the nominee was
unable to take up the Exchange.
A first for the Club this year was a
short term Exchange student, Georgia
Prestidge from Timaru, New Zealand who
arrived in Horsham in early April for three
months. Georgia will be hosted by Rotarian
Debbie Delahunty and her family. Whilst in
Australia, Georgia had Rotarian Gary Green
as her Counsellor and he also will be
Counsellor for Georgia Delahunty when she
returns with Georgia to New Zealand in late
June to spend three months with her family.
Our Inbound Exchange Student for
2011-2012 is Micaella Mendes from Brazil
and we look forward to her arrival in
Horsham where she will be counselled by
Rotarian Wendy James and the Club thanks
her impending host families, Pam Capstick,
Andrew Almond and Louise Brennan for
assisting in hosting Micaella while she is
here with us.
During 2010 we had Billie Saunders
as our outgoing Exchange Student and she
was on Exchange in Brazil for the year.
Billie had an eventful year in her
host city and even though her early months
in Brazil were difficult due to some host
family issues, the later months were
enjoyable and widened her thirst for more
travel and learning experiences.

The Club thanks go to Louise
Brennan as Billies Counsellor and Sue Van
Every for her assistance in the early part of
Billies Exchange.
Whilst we contacted Secondary
Colleges for their involvement in this
program where 14-17 year olds can extent
their leadership, decision making, network
and community skills over a weekend
residential
camp,
unfortunately
no
nominations were forthcoming.
The above cash awards are
presented annually to two students to assist
in their studies and are in recognition of
Past President Bill Davey. The Davey
Family makes a contribution to the award
and this year the two recipients were Jake
McIntyre – Horsham College and Stephanie
Schmidt – Murtoa College.
Rotarians Brydie Scollary and
Andrew Price conducted the interviews and
were very impressed with the standard of
applicants and the two successful awardees.
The Club sponsored Simon Coles to
this 12 day Forum in Canberra in January
where students in year 11 are given a
unique opportunity to “test drive” careers in
Science,
Engineering
and
related
disciplines.
The Annual School Debating
competition with Year 7 Students from
Horsham College was well received by
members at our Meeting in late August.
The topic “That good looks get you
further than a good mind” enthralled not
only the members and the Students parents
and friends but showed to us all the benefits
of such a programme in enhancing the
Public Speaking skills of such young
debaters. For the record the negative team
were victorious.
The following programmes that
Horsham East Rotary Club support and
encourage failed to obtain applicants this
year but the Club will continue to endeavour
to encourage young people to apply for
these very worthy programmes -
•
RYLA – Rotary Youth Leadership Awards
•
Rotary Murray-Darling School of
Freshwater Research
Thank you to the Committee
members for their responsibility in cocoordinating these programmes that
encourage and continue to support the
young people in our district and for the
Board in their ongoing funding of these
important programmes.

RAWCS stickers made a come back
to our club this year, raising $250-.
Long weekend March our club had
the opportunity to host the team from Rotary
District 6950 Central West Florida. The club
treated the team & members to Lochie’s
Outdoor Adventure trip, ‘A day to remember’
hospitality, vintage ‘bush bashers’ and local
knowledge. The next day was a trip up to
Halls Gap Zoo, what an eye opener, well
worth the trip and visit to Brambuk
Aboriginal Centre, which our visit thoroughly
enjoyed.
We are excited to have Robyn
Lardner as the Team Leader & Mary
Raynes for the group going out to Rotary
Committee members – Rob Aisbett,
Steve Holmes, Miao He, Brian Thomas,
Brenton Johnson (Johnno), Leigh-Anne
Sharrock.
This year the Vocational Services
Committee decided to trial a new award
called ‘Excellence in Customer Service’.
With the assistance of Horsham
Plaza, posters and nomination forms were
placed in Horsham Plaza encouraging
people to nominate an employee that had
gone beyond what was expected of them.
Nominees were asked to write a short
citation on why the employee deserved
recognition and outlining the details of their
10
experience. Entries were placed in a barrel
in the plaza or sent to The Rotary Club of
Horsham East during the month of March.
Over forty entries were received for
the awards with each one judged by a panel
from the Rotary Club of Horsham East.
The winner of the 2011 ‘Excellence
in Customer Service Award’ was Mina
Crooks from Jewelz and Things. Mrs
Crooks was nominated for her extra
attention to a customer looking for the
perfect gift. In the citation, her nominator
said Mrs Crooks went above what was
expected to help her find the right gift,
without being ‘pushy’. Her polite and helpful
manner, combined with an understanding of
the sort of gift that would be suitable for her
customer, were the key elements in making
her worthy of this new Rotary award.
Mrs Crooks received the award and
$250. The nominator, who wished to remain
anonymous, received $150 worth of
vouchers at Horsham Plaza.
I would like to take this opportunity
to thank our committee for their work in
getting this award up and running to ensure
it was successful. Thank you also to
Horsham Plaza for allowing us to trial it in
the plaza.
This is the first year we have held
this award and the quality of the
nominations shows the worthiness of it in
the community. I encourage future Vocation
Services Committees to consider continuing
with the award and broadening it to the
wider business district in the future.
Gillian Vanderwaal
Vocational Services Director
The Club celebrated its 40th
Anniversary in style with a Dinner Dance at
the Horsham Sports and Community Club
on Saturday 9th April.
On arrival everyone entered on a
red carpet and met by Past Presidents
Robyn Lardner and Bruce Johansen. A
Forties theme captured the spirit of the
evening with over 100 members, past
members and guests attending, many
decked out in forties finery no doubt mostly
borrowed from mothers and grandmothers.
Table decorations, club banners and
posters from Don Mitchell further enhanced
the theme of forty years of Rotary
M.C. Past President Terry Harris
warmly welcomed everyone, especially the
Member for Sport and Recreation, the Hon.
Hugh Delahunty and Mrs Judy Delahunty,
Councillor Bernard Gross ,a past president,
and Mrs Audrey Gross, District 9780
Assistant Governor Rtn Graeme Scott and
Mrs Faye Scott. President Tanya Barnes
further
extended
a
welcome
and
acknowledged the presence of a number of
former members and Past Presidents.
Tanya made special mention of Kaye Davey.
Yvonne Ryan, Margaret Schreck and Lee
Owens, wives of members who had passed
away.
MC Terry moved around the room
inviting Charter Members to recollect on the
beginnings of the Club way back in1971.
Oliver Williams, Past President Rodney
Abud and Past President Bernard Gross
reminisced about the early days of Horsham
East Rotary.
To capture a bit of club history a
slide show of club activities compiled by
Past President Gary Green and a short
video with thoughts about rotary and the
club from several current members were
presented. This video which will serve the
11
historical club records featured Louise
Brennan, PP Ken Dowsley, Penny Flynn, P
P Steve Sostheim, PP Trevor Bysouth, PP
Bruce Johansen and 'Johnno' Johnson with
PP Jim Lonsdale asking the questions.
A notable feature of the evening was
the presentation of a Paul Harris Award to
Past President Terry Harris.
Rtn Michael Ward, President of the
Rotary Club of Horsham, our sponsor club,
duly proposed a toast to the Rotary Club of
Horsham East which was responded to by
President Tanya. The Hon. Hugh Delahunty
congratulated the club on its achievements
and contribution to the community over the
past 40 years.
A fine meal and conviviality was
enjoyed as was the music provide by Dave
McMaster which encouraged many to
dance the night away.
Anniversary Celebration wine sales
and a ‘Stop the Clock’ raffle for a ruby
donated by Macchia Jewelers gave added
excitement to the night and funds to go
towards the Club’s donation of a digital
clock for the Rural City of Horsham.
At the closing President Tanya
acknowledged the efforts of PP Robyn
Lardner and the members of the 40thh
Anniversary Committee of Rtns Don
Mitchell, Pam Clarke, Phil Proctor, PP
Gillian Vanderwaal, PP Gary Green,
Cherese Mackley, Jenni Reid, Debbie
Delahunty Penny Flynn, and Wendy James.
Pam Capstick and PP Jim Lonsdale.
As reported by Louise Brennan in
the Bulletin ‘it a was fantastic night and one
we should look forward to in another forty
years’
Carnivale 2010 Wimmera Art Show.
The theme of “Carnivale” was the
idea of the late Rotarian Sue Holmes, who
worked with fellow Rotarian Pam Capstick,
who described the theme as “wanting to
explore different forms of art, and offer a
makers market showcasing the talents of
local artisans, with wares and exhibits to
appeal to all the senses; and provide
visitors with the opportunity to mix and
mingle, watch the artisans at work, as well
as chat to the Artist in residence”.
It was 37 years ago that this art
show had its humble beginnings with the
idea to give budding artists and those who
12
simply enjoy painting, an opportunity to
exhibit their works for the enjoyment of
others and to be judged amongst their
peers. Today the Club has retained that
same philosophy and the Art Show now
attracts entries from across Australia.
This year’s Artist in Residence was
Marian Caccianiga of Manangatang, who
finds inspiration in her environment, outdoor
life and camping on the Murray River.
During her 30-year career, Marian has
received many awards including, best
pastel, people’s choice, best acrylic and
best-in-show.
Merle Hathaway returned to judge
the artwork, who up until 2008 was the
Director of the Horsham Regional Art
Gallery. Opening night guests were
entertained by local musicians the,
Soulsmith Trio and treated to a 5-star
supper catered by Graham Ponton.
A strength of the Art Show has been
its strong partnership with enthusiastic local
sponsors, without whom the show would fail.
Major sponsor, John Whitehouse of
McDonalds Family Restaurant, was well
supported by David & Kaye Chilver (Chilver
Electricians),
Anna
East
(Conserve
Framing), Debbie Delahunty (Horsham
Veterinary Clinic), Greg Walcott (Iluka
Mining), Brian Thomas (Wilson Bolton),
Jack Schmidt & Bruce Agnew (Horsham
Concrete), and 3WM, ACE Radio/The
Weekly Advertiser.
Another key partnership is of course
with the large number of participating artists
who ensure the Rotary Art Show continues
to be a highly respected forum for
displaying all things art.
Unfortunately there was also
considerable sadness with this year’s show.
Long-time show supporter, Rotarian Alan
Vickers passed away, who had for many
years provided invaluable graphic design
assistance to many shows. Sue Holmes
had enthusiastically accepted the challenge
of leading the organising committee, but
her untimely death in May 2010 left the Club
in shock. A great admirer of the Venezia
Carniavale, her much loved masks hanging
in her home were this year’s inspiration.
As is the tradition of the Rotary Club
of Horsham East the organising committee
just “got on with the job”, put-in countless
hours, and my thanks go to Terry Harris,
Ken Dowsley, Don Mitchell, Pam Capstick,
Pam Clarke, Jim Lonsdale, Debbie
Delahunty, Tony Bawden, Louise Brennan,
Penny Flynn, Rick Hopper, Graeme Arthur
and Phil Proctor. We were rewarded for our
efforts by raising almost $6,000.
In view of pending changes to the
Horsham Town Hall, the art show is taking
the opportunity to look at other art shows
and then emerge again in 2012 with a ‘new
look’ show.
Has been busy this year with the
visit of Moira Kelly of the Children First
Foundation.
Also our 40th club anniversary
dinner on the 9th April, both a huge success,
with thanks to the organising committees for
13
their publicity and promotions, duly attended
to by Penny Flynn and Gillian Vanderwaal.
And the many other smaller projects
and service work that has made the print
media and TV.
In the future we as a club will need
to work towards our publicity better and
“Show Case” as much as possible of our
community and overseas service.

The gift wrapping service the week
before Christmas proved a great success
this year and was very popular with the
Horsham Plaza shoppers.
We always have a lot of positive
feedback from the shopping public, and our
club is seen out there with another
community service, as well as a fund raiser.
This year the club again participated
in the Ballarat South car raffle, and
commenced selling tickets at the Horsham
Agricultural Show.
Thanks to Brian Thomas of Wilson
Bolton for supplying the promotional vehicle
each week.
Also thank you Janice Shaw and
Tim Vanstan for organizing the members to
sell tickets which at times has been difficult
in filling the roster.
A big thank you to Neil Popple for
taking care of the raffle monies and passing
onto our treasurer for banking.
Final results, the car raffle raised
$14,424,of which $11,532, was retained by
our club and $2,892, was paid to the
Ballarat South Community Fund raffle.
A big thank you to all these
Rotarians who helped out and in particular
their family members who assisted as well.
Again many thanks to the Horsham
Plaza management for their continuing
support.
Placing these along the western
highway west of Ararat to the South
Australian border ,continues and this year
unfortunately we had another two road
fatalities ,where markers will have to be
placed ,these become a timely reminder for
the many drivers who use the highway to be
more, responsible for their driving behaviour
Many thanks to Terry Harris and his
team of volunteers who continue this
important service.

This is a vital Service in the
community that is rewarding for everyone
involved. This year we teamed up with
students from Longernong College, which
was a great experience and benefit for all
concerned.
I would like to thank the scribes who
meticulously take the notes each week that
make up our weekly bulletin. Their input is
invaluable. To Louise Brennan, Peter Rafter
and Gary Harper, thank you, and to our
photographers in Gary Green, Brian
Thomas and Johno, their photo's are
usually home before I am. To President
Tanya thank you for your regular input.
As I am continuing on as editor next year
I'm confident of a similar team effort, and
ask club members to supply any relevant
material they would like to see in their
bulletin. Reports, classifieds, jokes,(clean)
any items of interest.

A Western Victorian Rotary “Group
Study Exchange” (GSE) Team is leaving
Australia on 13 May 2011 for a 4 week
study tour in Central West Florida, USA.
The GSE team from Rotary District
9780 will be travelling to Rotary District
9650 in Central West Florida, USA, which
has 49 clubs across 12 counties. Central
West Florida is well known to boaters and
other travellers, and encompasses Pasco,
Hernando, and Citrus Counties which are
designated as “Florida’s Nature Coast.”
There are also villages and Native
American sites embracing some of the
country’s most fascinating cultural histories,
as well as a large arts community and
health care system.
The GSE Team lead by Rotary Club

comprises; Anne Pett, sponsored by the
Rotary Club of Hamilton; Mary Raynes
sponsored by the Rotary Club of Horsham
and Horsham East; Will Buchanan

The Rotary Foundation’s GSE
program is an important cultural and
vocational
exchange
opportunity

business people and professional who are
in the early stage of their careers. The
program provides travel grants for teams to
exchange visits in paired areas of different
countries, for four to six weeks. The team
members experience the host country’s
culture and institutions, observe how their
vocations are practiced abroad, and then
use this knowledge where it is appropriate
back in their own communities.
Some of the planned vocational
tours include, a desalination plant in Tampa
Bay, a government centre, a law school,
Progress Energy Nuclear Training Centre,
Marine Science Centre and Kennedy Space
Centre.
Robyn Lardner acknowledges the
great support given to the GSE team by
local Rotary clubs, and from Telstra
