Apologies if the following offends but history has shown that these next "helpful hints" are necessary:
|
Conflict and violence displace millions of people each year. Half of those killed in conflict are children, and 90 percent are civilians.
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.
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.

President’s Report
Thank you to all Members and Guests for a fabulous meeting, this evening. Although there were only 27 of us in attendance, the atmosphere was full of energy, especially during the Sergeant’s session. Thank you, Ricardo, for your great effort to part many of us from a few dollars!! Business Items Please do volunteer, where possible, with all efforts leading up to the Book Sale. We have been running a little late with preparations, but all is now full steam ahead. Some of you have volunteered to help with the erecting of promotional banners. These will be up by close of business on Tuesday 13th February. Emails will be sent out to local schools, requesting their assistance with publishing the flyers in their Newsletters. Guest Speaker Doctor Don Dingsdag gave a great presentation on Defibrillators such are found in large businesses, some community centres and shopping centres. It was a very interactive session, with many questions asked and answered. Don would be quite keen to assist us with further information, should we choose to explore opportunities to support our local community with the installation of a quality and highly recommended brand of Defibrillator. Overall, I feel that tonight’s meeting ran really well. It was as Fellowship should be, partly serious but with much banter, laughter and providing us all with ‘food for thought’. Next week – Youth Night Please be reminded about Youth Night next week. It will be a fantastic night, with wonderful young speakers. Please invite your Partners to join us for this wonderful event. Thank you all for receiving me so well, as a ‘stand-in’ for President Colin Sharpe. May your week ahead be filled with joy, love and kindness. Your President Elect Charlie McCartney |
