Our Last Meeting

Today's meeting was expertly chaired by Ian who first off welcomed guests:

AG Wendy

Irish

Chairmaine from the Rotary E-Club of South Africa One & the Sunshine Coast Rotary Community Corps

Ken from RC Morwell

and of course our guest speaker Ray Krebs from the NBN

The International Toast was given by Alan to RC Halifax in Nova Scotia, District 7820

Unfortunately, in this instance he was only given 9/10 because he forgot to mention Peggy's Point Lighthouse, which sits dominantely on their logo, albeit repainted in Rotary colours, and with real life not able to replicate the weather conditions shown. And he missed the "not to be missed" gingerbread at the nearby Sou'Wester Restaurant

Transitioning to Rotary District 9620

Following the decision of the Board of Rotary International in April 2018 our Rotary International Districts – 9640, 9630 and 9600 – are merging to become Rotary District 9620 as of 1 July 2021.

Much has been done – and there is still much to be done. At the Club level I really do believe the majority of the ongoing work of the Clubs will continue – and we will continue to work to decide how we will operate as a District.

Rotary's Areas of Focus

The Rotary Foundation has changed the names of three areas of focus (marked with asterisks) to better reflect the types of projects that Rotary members carry out.

The six areas of focus are:

Peacebuilding and conflict prevention*
Disease prevention and treatment
Water, sanitation, and hygiene*
Maternal and child health
Basic education and literacy
Community economic development*

Some of the areas of focus goals have also changed. You’ll find new activities related to the environment in the updated Areas of Focus Policy Statements.
