Hi, I know thought this free seminar might appeal to some of our members who are not so up to date with social media and scams.
It is being run by the Harman Foundation which cares for the less fortunate in our communities and I know several of the women who work there so this is a very credible event. see the blurb below to include as well. Thank you. Carol. About the event:
Join us for an engaging panel discussion hosted by Harman Foundation on the theme Soul and Style exploring transformative power of digital empowerment. This interactive session will delve into impact of digital tools on our lives, touching social media’s influence, and the rise of digital scams.

A personal invitation to District 9685 Conference 2025
|
|
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:
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’!

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.

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.
