Remembering Ernie Goleby
Many of us will remember Ernie as the quiet Rotarian. He quietly expressed his views, he quietly supported projects close to his heart and at times he quietly supported programmes financially without making a fuss. Yet, he was a very engaged and well respected Redlander.
Ernie, who passed away on 12th October 2018, joined Cleveland Rotary on 6th March 1973 and his Classification was initially Gladioli Growing and, as was the case in a small community, he probably later changed his Classification to Nurseryman to accommodate another new member who was also a Gladioli grower at the time. He resigned from Rotary on 30th June 2012, due to health reasons, having served his Community as an active Rotarian for 39 years.
Ernie proudly boasted 100% attendance record at Cleveland Rotary Club, something which very few members are able to achieve. That was Ernie’s way.

International Fiesta
Wet weather certainly did not dampen the spirits of those who attended the International Fiesta Night at Burbank last night, at the home of Judy's daughter. Extremely comfortable surroundings, magnificent food, excellent wine and great company. Who could ask for more? Dress up for the occasion? Well Elwyn and Allison certainly answered that call! Fun and entertainment, a night to remember. Many thanks to Judy for organising and hosting a delightful evening, and to her family for their hospitatlity (particularly Isabella for the delicious paella). More pictures in the Photo Gallery.

RIP Merv Genrich OAM PHF
It is with sadness that we acknowledge the passing of Past President Merv Genrich (2005/2006), a former Shire Chairman and lifelong supporter of many community organisations in the Redlands. Merv came to Rotary quite late in his community life — having given so much in his previous roles in local government, a community leader and respected citizen — he found the Rotary Family one he could assimilate with easily & still provide some meaningful input.
Members will be able to pay tribute to Merv by attending the Memorial Service to be held at Redlands Cultural Centre on Thursday 25th October at 1pm.

Soup night for Story Dogs
Robin Archer prepares to have his soup from the doggy bowl. Tonight we were served soup and roll (served in a doggy bowl with a bone shaped bread roll), with the difference in the cost between that and our normal meal going towards funds for the Story Dogs project. Story Dogs are used to help children develop reading skills, a very valuable program that is growing throughout the Redlands schools. Anna Bray spoke about the program for the information of those who had not been present earlier this year when one of the dogs visited us. Club Assembly followed - Directors will report back shortly to the members.
Check the Photo Gallery for more photos from tonight.

Graeme Lewis hosted Joe last night as he told us about his life and the Centre, answering many questions at the end.
