Our last Meeting
Chris and Kristy Paterson spoke about Bamboo Projects
From their website - Bamboo Projects is a registered charity which uses outdoor therapies to help people with mental illness, suicidal ideation and physical disabilities and anyone who is socially, emotionally and relationally isolated. We have been running community activities since 2015, using fishing and hiking activities to build connection, establish relationship, walk life with people who are struggling and offer realistic strategies and ideas to manage their mental health and interpersonal relationships more successfully.

Rotary Connects the World in 2019-20
Rotary Service
Rotary’s 1.2 million members serve communities around the world, each with unique concerns and needs. Rotarians have continually adapted and improved the way they respond to those needs, taking on a broad range of service projects.
 
The most successful and sustainable Rotary service tends to fall within one of the following six areas, these are Rotary International's six areas of focus:
 
  • Peace and conflict prevention/resolution
  • Disease prevention and treatment
  • Water and sanitation
  • Maternal and child health
  • Basic education and literacy
  • Economic and community development
Rotary International and The Rotary Foundation recognise that focusing service in these areas of focus can provide direction to Rotarians interested in developing service projects, improve Rotarians’ capacity to address needs and show the world that Rotary is a global leader in humanitarian service.
 
The needs spanning Rotary’s six areas of focus are vast, but with your help we can accomplish it.
Rotary International
Day by day, year by year, Rotary members around the world are making a difference, transforming their communities, their nations, their world — and themselves.
