Number of volunteers
Up to you on number of volunteers but keep in mind the following:
- smaller team at 8:30am for set-up if you can bring your own trailer (see below) as we want all cars off site by 9am
- based on last fair, we expect your BBQ will be busy from 10:30am till 2pm
- Gates open at 10am (arrival time at 8:30am)
- The rides on the oval will shut down at 3pm so demand at your BBQ might drop off from that point
- In 2015 your team brought a BBQ on a trailer. Are you able to do that again?
- the school & PC will supply sausages, bacon, eggs, bread and drinks, plus gas for the BBQ.
- we will assign a member of our site team as your contact on the day to keep you supplied with sausages, bread, drinks etc
- If you have access to any large eskies, that will be helpful
- We suggest than your team bring their own cooking utensils

Rotary Foundation - Six Areas of Focus
Logos for the six areas of focus
Rotary’s 34,000 clubs and 1.2 million members serve communities around the world, each with unique concerns and needs. Rotarians have continually adapted and improved the way they respond to those needs, taking on a broad range of service projects. The most successful and sustainable Rotary service tends to fall within one of the following six areas:
- Peace and conflict prevention/resolution
- Disease prevention and treatment
- Water and sanitation
- Maternal and child health
- Basic education and literacy
- Economic and community development
- Provide direction to Rotarians interested in developing service projects
- Improve Rotarians’ capacity to address needs
- Show the world that Rotary is a global leader in humanitarian service
|
Peace Resolution |
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.
|
REBUILD
We help refugees integrate and find jobs.
|
TRAINING
We help leaders learn how to prevent and mediate conflict.
|
IN ACTION
Rotary supports peacebuilding in communities and regions affected by conflict.

Disease Prevention and Treatment |
Rotary's top priority is the eradication of polio, but our members take on far greater responsibilities to fight disease. They set up health camps and training facilities in undeveloped countries and in communities struggling with HIV/AIDS and malaria. They also design and build the infrastructure for doctors, nurses, governments, and partners to reach the one in six people in the world who can't afford to pay for health care.
Disease prevention and treatment takes on many forms, from supporting studies to helping immunize people to improving drinking water and the sanitation infrastructure. The world relies on Rotary to tackle these global challenges, and to set an example for others to follow.
Join Rotary and work on projects to prevent and treat disease.
Significant Club fundraising events during the year
The Book Sale March 2017. As the result of a lot of hard work the April Book Sale was a great success, especially from the organisers Max Henderson, Andrew Little and Clive Denmark. Funds raised were circa $13,000. Well done.
2016 Trivia Night
The Club held a very successful trivia night on Saturday 27 August 2016 at the Cherrybrook Community Centre, raising just over $5,000 towards the charities we support.

President's Report
|
Vale. A one-minute silence was held in memory of Past President Graham Cuthbertson who sadly passed away last Thursday. We are deeply saddened by the death of PP Graham. We have lost a valued long-serving member of this club. Our deepest condolences go to Judy and the Cuthbertson family.
Members were advised of the resignation of Ian Roberts and that a farewell would be held at partners meeting convenient to Ian and Jeanette. Kiwi joke for the evening Two Kiwis are walking down a street in Sydney. One of the Kiwis happens to look in one of the shop windows and sees a sign that catches his eye. The sign said: "Suits $5.00 each, Shirts $2.00 each, Trousers $2.50 per pair". The Kiwi says to his mate, " look! We could buy a whole lot of those, and when we get back to New Zealund we could make a fortune! Now when we go into the shop, you be quiet, OK? Just let me do all the talking, cause if they hear our accent, they might not be nice to us, so I'll speak in my best Aussie accent." They enter the shop and the Kiwi says, "I'll take 50 suits at $5.00 each, 100 shirts at $2.00 each and 50 pairs of trousers at $2.50 each. I'll back up my ute and..." The owner of the shop interrupts. "You're from New Zealund, aren't you?" "Well... Yes," says the surprised Kiwi. "How the hell did you pick that?" The shop owner replied, "This is a bloody dry cleaners, mate! |

This Week's Humour
Giggles
A young blonde girl in her late teens, wanting to earn some extra money for the summer, decided to hire herself out as a "handywoman" and started canvassing a nearby well-to-do neighbourhood.
She went to the front door of the first house and asked the owner if he had any odd jobs for her to do.
"Well, I guess I could use somebody to paint the porch.
How much will you charge me?"
Delighted, the girl quickly responded, "How about $50?"
The man agreed and told her that the paint and brushes and everything she would need were in the garage.
The man's wife, hearing the conversation, said to her husband "Does she realize that our porch goes ALL the way around the house?"
"That's a bit cynical, isn't it?" he responded.
The wife replied, "You're right. I guess I'm starting to believe all those dumb blonde jokes."
A few hours later the blonde came to the door to collect her money.
"You're finished already??" the startled husband asked.
"Yes," the blonde replied, "and I even had paint left over so I gave it two coats."
Impressed, the man reached into his pocket for the $50 and handed it to her along with a $10 tip.
"Thank you," the blonde said, "And, by the way, it's not a Porch, it's a Lexus."

Lexi
Looking for a good home
This is Lexi, she’s an 8-week old German Shepherd. I bought Lexi as a surprise for my wife, but it turns out she is allergic to dogs, so we are now looking to find her a new home.
She is 69 years old, a beautiful and caring woman who can drive, is a great cook, and keeps the house spotless.
