Tim was born and educated in Melbourne. Always wanting to be a teacher, from a very early age, he attended Monash University where he majored in Education and Science. He has worked for over 35 years in education as a boarding house coordinator, teacher, principal and school operations manager in the Independent Sector in Victoria and Queensland. Tim joined Rotary in 1994 with the Rotary Club of Hamilton North in District 9780 and served as corporal and as the club RYLA representative. After transferring to Queensland, he attended meetings in both Toowoomba and Gladstone, before joining the Rotary Club of Logan in 2009. Interestingly, he was appointed to the District RYDA committee and the Logan Rotary Board prior to being inducted into the club!
He told us about a trip to Mitchell Queensland. The main street was deserted - did a U-turn at the pub. Some guy says oh no, not much happening tonight don’t bother. It’s just a DG‘ S visit
32 District Governors in a row – all eating chicken.
He is our link to Rotary International (RI).
He is a retired school principal, and on the Griffith University advisory board covering six campuses. Service learning postgraduate, not-for-profit sector, empowering young people
19 students in first intake. “why would someone join your group“?
There was a 180° change in the way they thought and maybe a little despondent.
Traditional organisations declining
Down in dumps
Trip to pub necessary
Assignment two – boost top 2% of every branch.
Characteristics?
Centenary of Rotary in Queensland - past? “Imagine Rotary“ future?
9 1/2 months later…
One – culture of leadership for every member.
Role of leadership in community?
Four Way Test and code of ethics.

Change critical?
Seven second rule.
Two – communications
Internal/external/transparent/to community.
Logos and presentation. The new graphics have now been in use for 12 years.
Three - Top organisation.
Two soccer clubs example.
Four - People don’t join to fund raise, they join to “do“ something for personal reasons, but 90% to make a difference “means to an end“
Projects produce people - social enterprise tsunami?
Brains, not muscle.
Five -Sustainable residual income. Example Batemans Bay bought a caravan park employed a caretaker with nurse partner
Four years – turned around.
Registered training organisation.
Project produce people centre sure enterprises tsunami
Brains not muscle
Impact on community?
Judgement - investing in wisdom.
Mooloolaba…
Invite businesses to pay for breakfast.
Relationship ambassadors - think influencer“ in a young person’s language.
10 years later, still talking about something?
E.g. Lisbon for the International Convention. A club visited en masse, and it gave them a shared experiences and stories
Stories are the glue which binds
Mark – the conference was fantastic - but problems, getting more remote clubs to attend.
We will be thinking about what you said for quite a long time. 
Jim and Tim, welcome Trevor, our newest Rotarian – Classification “neighbour“ – will have to work out that one Trevor – his first duty was to fine the Sergeant for fining him before he was officially a member - and he’ll have you know he was the Membership Officer at his last club. 
Look in the community for signs have a good Rotarian.
Volunteers in Queensland – their DNA is men over 65 who are newly retired and women over 32 who have just offloaded their children to school
Directors Reports.
Pam – 10th of May is the Rotary and University of the Sunshine Coast Community Fund (RUSCCF) dinner
We were a bit over time so we missed out on the Sergeant and two-up
