Martin Collins - Bio and Photo

Picture
​I am married to Sue, we have two children and two grandchildren. I am a solicitor who was admitted to practice in June 1986 and was a sole practitioner until more recently when I merged my practice as a step towards retirement. In October 2016 I completed a Masters of Laws (Applied Law) majoring in Wills and Estates which is my area of interest.
 
I have been a Rotarian for 15 of years, all to date as a member of Norwest Sunrise where I was President in 2013 to 2014, the same year as Clive Denmark. I play occasional golf, have an interest in military history and aviation and working around the garden.

Hi Keith, here is Bio and Pic for Martin for the bulletin this week, ... , we are hoping to induct him next Monday night. Cheers.  Carol.

A personal invitation to District 9685 Conference 2025 
A Sustainability and Humanitarian Summit 
March 21 and 22 in Penrith

Dear fellow Rotarians,
 
It gives me great pleasure to personally invite you to our 2025 District Conference to be held at the Pullman, Penrith, on 21 and 22 March 2025.
 
Our conferences have always been a one-of-a-kind expo on humanitarian work with high quality speakers - a great way to share stories of the good work of Rotary, and to make and renew friendships with fellow Rotarians.
 
As global humanitarian needs reach record levels, our Rotary community is looking for ways to widen our reach and deliver more to those in need locally and globally. Accordingly, our 2025 District Conference has been themed as our first ever Sustainability and Humanitarian Summit for “A Better World through people & Rotary”.
 
Some highlights of our Sustainability & Humanitarian Sumit:
  • It will bring together all Rotarians from our District as well as appeal to people from the broader community who want to make a difference – so they can hear Rotary’s stories and opportunities for humanitarian service.
  • We will have a series of short presentations by clubs (in-person or pre-recorded) that showcase their signature projects and the impact they have had.
  • To generate ideas and new ways to solve humanitarian and sustainability problems, the Summit will host a competition for university/TAFE/high school students to channel their creativity and develop social impact projects that could be scaled up by interested clubs.
The Summit presents us with a pivotal opportunity to reenergise how we solve community problems, while also growing membership and boosting our public image.
 
Watch this space for more details of these new elements, the overall program and keynote speakers. The team and I will keep you updated of major developments over the coming months.
 
I appeal to you for your support in registering, in inviting your friends, and in starting to think about how your club can use the airtime on stage to share the best of what you do every day for your communities locally and globally.
 
You can register through this link - https://ourbetterworld2025.wordpress.com/
 
Join me and together we can make ‘A Better World through people and Rotary’!

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.
