Conflict and violence displaced more than 68 million people in the past year, and half of those are children.
We refuse to accept conflict as a way of life. Rotary projects provide training that fosters understanding and provides communities with the skills to resolve conflicts.
HOW ROTARY MAKES HELP HAPPEN
Through our service projects, peace fellowships, and scholarships, our members are taking action to address the underlying causes of conflict, including poverty, inequality, ethnic tension, lack of access to education, and unequal distribution of resources.

The Garage Sale 2018
We have just had our best and most successful Garage Sale on the weekend of 13 & 14 October raising a record gross - north of $35k.
Excellent Project Management and a large number of dedicated volunteers, some putting in hours of effort, in the weeks before the weekend contributed to this result. |

Thirty three members and 3 guests were present tonight. Bruce Manefield was a guest of Carol. Chris Jobson was our guest speaker debunking the myths of prostate cancer. Past member Rotarian Barry paid us a visit. He is now a member of the Woy Woy club.
The club has moved its banking arrangements to Bendigo Bank which has accounts tailored to assist charities, better internet banking options and free EFPOS machines (if booked in time) for fundraising events. We have agreed to support a Bendigo Bank Sponsorship for Felicity Morris. Felicity is a resident of Dural who aims to teach in rural NSW. She intends to gain teaching experience in Chile in April-May this year to gain experience in teaching diverse students. Bendigo Bank, our Club, Dural and Galston Rotary clubs are joining together to assist Felicity with her teaching experience in Chile. We will invite her to speak to our club when she returns. I attended Julian Leeser’s Australia Day gathering of community leaders. I note he has recently made donations to Galston Club to assist setting up their new book sale venue. These donations are a potential source of funding for improving our storage situation once we have finalised a plan. DIK – which comes under the umbrella of Rotary Australia World Community Service (RAWCS) has become Health & Education Repurposing Activity (HEERA). They are looking for regular weekday help during February and March. I realise that this is also our Book Sale time, however, we should try and help. Peter Stanton will speak more about this. |
