Speaker for Tues 16th Meeting

Kendall 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.

ROMAC Trivia

Deborah wants to thank everyone who attended  ROMAC Trivia last night.  We didn't take out the prize, and we enjoyed ourselves I'm sure.  We had the most tables of any other club and I think the noisiest. 
 
You will be pleased to know that we didn't win the wooden spoon and all three tables scored well above average

Hi Irish, just sharing my success. This was a mini concert I was examined on for singing.  If you wish you can let Rotarians know, I'm sure the Sergeant will have fun with this. Anna

No one knows how much longer the pandemic will stay around and impede ROMAC’s ability to bring young children from our neighbouring Oceania islands into Australia and New Zealand for, in some instances, life-saving operations and procedures. At present we still have two children here in Australia who are unable to return to their homelands. And when the pandemic is over, we already have some 20 patients approved to come to Australia or New Zealand.

Of course, we have applied the knowledge and resources we have built over many years in fighting another infectious disease: polio. The polio eradication program is already using its infrastructure to protect the vulnerable from COVID-19, especially in polio-endemic countries.

World Immunisation Week is Coming

As 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: 
  1. Raise awareness of vaccination and polio eradication efforts by painting your nails — or pinkie — purple, or customize our new End Polio Now artwork with your signature and words of support. Post your pictures on social media using the hashtags #EndPolio and #VaccinesWork. 
  2. Download Rotary’s World Immunization Week Toolkit to get graphics and sample social media posts. 
Donate to Rotary’s PolioPlus Fund. Your contribution will be tripled, thanks to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Rotary tidbits

The Rotary Foundation – Doing Good in the World

Here 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:

Sunshine Coast Rotary Children's Photo Competition cancelled

We have reviewed this year's competition in the light of the restrictions currently in place due to COVID-19 and concluded with some considerable regret, that it is in everyone's best interest to cancel the competition.  The restrictions may have limited the opportunity by some to enter, and there is considerable uncertainty whether the presentations and tuition could go ahead.

Contribute to your club's newsletter

With 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:
  • Coffee with a Rotarian” a member or two each week provides a profile of some sort such as a personal update, a vocational perspective etc … the options are endless
  • 'Highlight of your week' is where Rotarians share those special moments of their week together with a picture or video if possible
  • Members share a short story or anecdote about anything special, or any interesting events that they have witnessed or participated in - and if appropriate attach a picture or two
  • 'Through the Rotary Lens' - members send in a photo of something interesting to all and get creative describing what the picture is all about
  • Share some Rotary knowledge
  • Perhaps even a joke or two for a humour section
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.

RI President's March message

March is the month we celebrate Rotaract — and this has been quite a year for our young partners in service.
 
Last spring, the Council on Legislation elevated Rotaract in our constitution: Rotary International is now the association of both Rotary clubs and Rotaract clubs. Then in October, the Rotary Board of Directors eliminated the artificial Rotaract age limit and took other steps to break down barriers that were preventing Rotaract from growing in some parts of the world.
 
These steps were long overdue, because ...

Rotary Clubs combine to deliver the Caravan of Hope

The 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. 
‘It’s been sitting in my shed for the last few years, I am sure someone else could make better use of it’ Don said.
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.
‘Some residents are living in tents and are desperate for some accommodation’ said Richard, ‘we just need to get it down there’
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.
‘We are just pleased to be able to help in some way’ said Kath.
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 Appeal

DONATE to BUSHFIRE RELIEF
 
You 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
