We are again looking for volunteers to help setup and assist in the running of another successful RYDA day preparing our young people for life on the roads.
Separate invitation emails have been emailed on which you may register your attendance or apologise if you cannot help; you may also register direct at the below links.
To be clear, we need you please to volunteer for all days that you are free to assist - especially on 27 March when we also have our regular BBQ at Bunnings.
First and foremost - congratulations to the Gordon and his Golf Day Committee for a wonderful day. It was a happy and enjoyable day and many of the participants went all out to make the day an enjoyable one with their costumes and golf carts dressed for the occasion. All who attended, played and worked made the day very special. The weather behaved and all the players were in the clubhouse before the heavens opened up. Great work. Please take the time to look at the photos and video that Les has produced, it is excellent.
Our deepest sympathy to the community of Christchurch on hearing the news of the shocking act of terrorism last Friday. When we are looking for Peace and harmony amongst all peoples worldwide for this to happen so close to home is devastating.
Country: Djibouti has a population of 956985 in 2017, relatively safe country and has two Rotary clubs.
Djibouti, on the Horn of Africa, is a mostly French and Arabic-speaking country of dry shrublands, volcanic formations and Gulf of Aden beaches. It's home to one of the saltiest bodies of water in the world, the low-lying Lake Assal, in the Danakil Desert. The nomadic Afar people have settlements along Lake Abbe, a body of saltwater featuring chimneylike mineral formations.
Today we acknowledge one of these: the Rotary Club of Djibouti Mer Rouge (Red Sea)
The club meets at Shen Hotel Mondays 7.30pm
A couple of the club's projects
On the occasion of the celebration of the international day of women's rights, the Rotary Club Djibouti Red Sea, has distributed kits of first necessity to women incarcerated in the prison of Gabode. These were composed of dresses, shawls, shampoos, soaps, sanitary towels and cologne. The Club organised this action for the third time and emotion is always so strong, on both sides, during the meeting and exchange. Officer Hibo who greeted us thanked us on behalf of the entire correctional institution for the action and asked us to multiply this kind of initiative.

Rotary members from all over the world will gather in Chicago 14-18 April to consider changes to the Constitutional documents that guide Rotary International and its member clubs.
The Council on Legislation (CoL) meets every three years and is an essential part of Rotary’s governance. The representatives — one from each Rotary district — review and vote on proposals that seek to change Rotary’s constitutional documents.
This year, the council will consider more than 100 proposals, including one new item and three recently amended motions from the Rotary International Board of Directors.
Hopefully it will not take three years to reflect in our constitutional documents any changes that flow from the 2019 CoL.
