Leadership Change at Rotary Foundation Australia
|
ROTARY Foundation Australia will have a new chair from July1, 2024. Past Rotary International Director Jessie Harman will step into the role, taking over from Maurie Stack, who has held the position since July 2020.
Jessie said she is honoured to be elected as chair. "I have seen first-hand the life-changing impact of projects made possible by the generosity of Australian Rotarians and their connections. Rotary Foundation Australia represents the confidence and trust we can all have, knowing that our donations and |
the humanitarian projects thy underpin are stewarded with accountability and care.”
Jessie brings a wealth of experience to the role of chair. She has served as a director of Rotary Foundation Australia since 2020. She is currently co-chair of the Rotary International Communications Committee and was previously a director of Rotary International. Outside of Rotary, Jessie is a professional non-executive director, serving on the boards of organisations in both the non-profit and for-profit arena. |
She holds an MBA and PhD in business and is a member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.
In taking on the role, Jessie was keen to recognise the contribution of outgoing chair, Maurie Stack. “Maurie has led Foundation Australia through a period of significant development. Consequently, we can now unlock donations from a broader base of Australian donors and facilitate grants within Australia as well as overseas,” Jessie said. “I thank Maurie for his leadership and am delighted he will continue on the board as a director.” RDU |

Thank You for your generous donation
Dear Neville and all at the Rotary Club,
We would like to send a big thank you for your generous donation to the Biggest Morning Tea. Our team is truly grateful for your support in helping us get closer to our fundraising target and, most importantly, bringing hope to people affected by cancer.
The event was wonderful as we witnessed the local community come together with the shared purpose of helping those in need. The weather was kind to us, with no rain until the evening.
Thank you again for the generous donation that will truly make a huge difference for people impacted by cancer.
We hope you have a lovely weekend and we would love to continue supporting the Rotary Club.
Many thanks,
Susan and Yvonne

Mrs. Warren’s Profession By George Bernard Shaw Directed by Steve Rowe
Content Warning: Adult themes
Written in 1893, Mrs. Warren’s Profession proved too much for Victorian sensibilities and didn’t debut on the London stage until 1902 at the dawn of the Edwardian age.
Kitty Warren, former prostitute, “spoilt and domineering, and decidedly vulgar”, is now a successful businesswoman – due to her owning several brothels across Europe. Her thoroughly modern and pragmatic daughter Vivie, having just graduated from university, seeks to get acquainted with Kitty for the first time in her young life. When Vivie realises what her mother does for a living, their relationship irrevocably changes and she must find her own way forward in a world run by men.
Shaw asserts that prostitution is not caused by moral failure but by economic necessity and, well over a century after its first performance, his play still resonates. How and why do we judge the choices of others – as well as the choices we make for ourselves?

The doors will be open from 7:30pm, with the play starting at 8:00pm. As those who have attended previously will know, parking is extremely easy. For those who are uncertain about directions, the theatre is in the Castle Hill Showground precinct, off Showground Road at Castle Hill.
Can you please let us know how many of you and your friends are coming by Thursday 18th July 2024?

What it takes to be a Rotarian
There are members of the community who may have some misunderstandings about what it takes to be a Rotarian.
We are always looking for new members and, in fact, it is new people joining that keeps us alive as a Service club. From time to time I hear people say things that make me think they don't consider joining or even visiting Rotary for all the wrong reasons.
This article is about the things you don't need to join Rotary, and the things you do, just in case you are not sure. The other thing you should know is that we are a very friendly bunch of men and women and we have a lot of fun, as well as achieving some pretty good things in the community.
