1) Seaview House lawn maintenance.
This service saves the entity $3K per year, we need to wear a Rotary vest and put out the “ Rotarians at Work” boards.
2) Track maintenance at Cape Nelson walks.
Value to DWELP is unknown, possibly several thousand dollars if paid contractors were engaged. We need to erect a new sign at the car park of the Seacliff walk outlining that our club is maintaining the walk/ Rotary signs are often overlooked or not understood. This is moderate level physical exertion if many members attend the working bees.
3) School Lunch Sandwich program.
We agreed that this is an important project. The value is hard to measure ( say $4 per sandwich / but the student performance effect is not understood). The promotion of Rotary has been effective via Tammy’s excellent video interviewing Terry Hallett. Physical effort low/ organizational effort moderate.
4) Back yard Blitz projects.
a) Done on referral for the needy/ infirmed
b) As a fundraiser ( as per Uniting Way Shark Pitch for example)
Value to the community; as per agreed price for fundraiser events/self-promotion again via Tammy’s videos on FaceBook/YouTube. Exertion level; moderate, but many expressed enjoying the social aspect of working together (is this a lockdown effect???)
5) BBQ trailer events.
Value some are done as community service at no fee/ others are fundraisers. Efforts is high: Here is the issue. How do we avoid burnout in the busy October to March period? More participation by a broader number of members?
6) Portland Community Garden.
We have 2 plots + we have assisted Wayne with construction jobs such as the netting project. Value: social benefit in meeting club members for social gardening and other nonRotarians ( influencing opportunity). Potential for using their facilities/ labour in our Bee Project? Promotion of Rotary is being achieved via Wayne’s newsletters and Face Book page.
Effort level: moderate when hanging netting in the wind!
7) Projects done in the Rotary Storage shed.
Example: Christmas trees construction.Value to community; lifting the spirit during Covid. Promotion on Face Book worked. Effort
level: high.
8) Footy Gates during final series.Value; providing a trusted service to community and good fundraiser.Promotional opportunity: chance to associate Rotary and Say No 2 FV.
Effort: low physically/ organizational effort
moderate
