Speaker for Tues 16th MeetingKendall Morton - Home Care Assistance Sunshine Coast I have had so many jobs! My first proper job was working in a Jewellery Store over the Christmas holidays and I loved every minute of it. After that, I was a Checkout Chick for Woolies and loved that too. After leaving school I completed a Bachelor of Education and worked as a Primary School teacher. I think the reality of life these days is that we won’t necessarily stick to one job or career and flexibility and resilience will be very important traits for success.

World Immunisation Week is ComingAs scientists work to find a vaccine for the new coronavirus, we can do our part to keep our communities healthy by helping Rotary spread the word about the importance of vaccinations during World Immunization Week, 24-30 April. Immunizations save millions of lives every year and are widely recognized as one of our most successful and cost-effective health interventions. Yet outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases continue to put children’s health at risk around the world. Rotary knows firsthand that #VaccinesWork. Since 1985, we’ve contributed more than $2.1 billion and countless volunteer hours to protect nearly 3 billion children from polio. When children receive the polio vaccine, their pinkie fingers are marked with purple ink so health workers will know which children received the vaccine. Today, only two countries continue to report cases of polio caused by the wild poliovirus: Afghanistan and Pakistan. Take action in three easy ways:
Donate to Rotary’s PolioPlus Fund. Your contribution will be tripled, thanks to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. |

Rotary tidbitsThe Rotary Foundation – Doing Good in the WorldHere are some excerpts from the story of the First 100 years of Rotary written by David Forward: In April 1906, when a patent attorney Donald Carter was invited to join the Rotary Club of Chicago he asked to see the Club’s objectives. When he learned that it was limited to good fellowship and boosting one another’s business, he declined, suggesting that such a prominent group of business leaders should aspire to higher ideals. The Club invited Mr Carter to write an objective that defined this charitable goal and ultimately adopted this third object: |

Contribute to your club's newsletterWith our club no longer meeting as normal, this is a reminder that there are other ways to stay in regular contact. Tuesday's Zoom meeting was certainly a step forward but there is a lot to learn about engaging members - and non-members/visitors - and perhaps having a guest speaker. A regular weekly Zoom meeting is planned - go to the website on Tuesday mornings and click the Zoom link to attend. What about a contribution to your newsletter to let everyone stay in touch. Some suggestions for each of us to consider:
Oh, and there continue to be plenty of Rotary clubs meeting online so Google them and attend another club's Rotary meeting virtually - even one that is an another time zone! Over to you! I am happy to help but need your contribution. |

Our Last MeetingOur speaker was Yolanda Dasgupta, a Rotary Peace Fellow Alumna who graduated from Science Po in Paris in 2005. Bernie chaired the meeting, and welcomed guests ADG Wendy, Yolanda and "soon to be a member" Stewart Gerry proposed the International Toast to RC Carlton, of Greater Nottingham, England. According to the linked history page on their website: Nottinghamshire is an often unappreciated English county, most unfairly dismissed by that renowned wit and scholar, Jeremy Clarkson, as "a non-county, like Staffordshire - just there to fill the gaps." |

Rotary Clubs combine to deliver the Caravan of HopeThe ability of Rotary clubs to work together for the good of the community can never be underestimated. When local optometrist and Hervey Bay City Rotary club member Richard Watt and his wife Gwen were watching the bushfire disaster unfold, they desperately wanted to help the affected communities. They started a campaign, ‘Hervey Bay adopting fire affected families’ to raise funds, initially to provide some immediate relief. Local residents responded generously to the appeal and one local resident, named Don, decided that he would donate a caravan that was not being used.
Hearing about the plight of the small town of Lake Conjola in NSW where 89 homes had been lost and up to another 50 were considered uninhabitable, it was decided that this would be an ideal location for the caravan.
Richards’ wife Gwen had the answer. With the help of Rotary Clubs along the route seven clubs would be involved in a ‘baton’ relay taking the caravan over nine legs. A coordinated schedule was then set up with members committing to a day and time. Sounds simple enough but required detailed planning and a lot of phone calls. Local Sunshine coast residents Kath and Ian Aspinall of Caloundra Rotary and Caloundra Pacific Rotary Club are typical of the Rotarians that have offered their time.
Other clubs involved include Ballina-on-Richmond, Taree North, Caringbah and Milton–Ulludulla. The Rotary club of Milton Ulludulla, which will undertake the last leg, are coordinating activities locally, working in conjunction with a small group, the Conjola Recovery Team. Together, they are providing help where it is required and the caravan would be intended as temporary accommodation to be passed on to other families when needed. |

Rotary Bushfire AppealYou can support those affected by the bushfires by making a (tax deductible) donation to the "Rotary National Bushfires Appeal" at: rawcs.org.au or to the Queensland Bushfire relief Appeal here. All Australians can donate to support the victims of the devastating bushfires through the newly established Rotary Australia World Community Service (RAWCS) "Rotary National Bushfire Appeal". Funds from this account will go directly to the Districts affected by the bushfires. Any efforts from Rotary will be once the first responders have completed their good work, and Rotary can start to help residents and communities to rebuild themselves and their communities. International donors can donate by bank transfer to the Rotary Australia Relief Fund, details below: • SWIFT Code CTBAAU2S [case sensitive - 2nd last digit is two] • Commonwealth Bank • Rotary Australia Relief Fund • BSB 067 105 | Account 10519888 • Reference 68/2019-20 With over 1,100 Rotary clubs and 30,000 members across Australia, Rotary is well placed to support immediate bushfire relief and longer-term re-building and recovery. Local Rotary clubs are able to immediately offer assistance and supplies. Our clubs and districts then help affected communities wherever possible through funds and materials to re-establish day-to-day operations. Longer term re-building is supported by Rotary clubs planning and implementing projects that re-build affected communities. Rotary International may also provide disaster response grants for Rotary Districts affected by natural disasters to launch their own projects or work with established relief organisations to help their communities recover. A link to the fund can be found on the main page of the RAWCS website: rawcs.org.au |
