Wimpy's Wise Words

PRESIDENT'S ROUND UP 28^th August

I would like to congratulate Jenny Phillips for her good work for making the Health of The River project proceed as a District event. Both our participants Salee Baker and Dom Summers were great ambassadors for our club and I was extremely pleased with their presentation last week. It does show that there is a need to continue with projects such as this.

At this stage we have had a good response from members wishing to be involved with the West Lakes club at the Monarto Safari Park on the 10^th September.

I am hoping to give you all some better information at Tuesday’s meeting.

I would ask members to keep checking our calendar as we seem to be getting involved in many events over the coming months.

Please keep thinking of any potential members or volunteers that would like to be involved with Rotary.

Look forward to joining you all on Tuesday and listen to Kiah Tapley tell us about Orana.

New Look - Rotary Getaway

Last year a number of Rotarians, partners and friends travelled to Renmark for a weekend of fun.

This was a great time for all with accomodation varying from cabins, campers and caravans. Consensus was that we should "do it again"

There have been several suggestions but currently I am looking at the Morgan Caravan Park which offers cabins, powered and unpowered sites. Unpowered are upon the riverbank. Depending on the river conditions this may change. Fires are not permitted. https://www.morganriversidecaravanpark.com.au/

I am asking for expressions of interest from Rotarians and friends as to whether this should be persued.

Possible date is the weekend of October 22nd - 23rd. This is the first weekend after school holidays.

Please respond via email to mhcool@lm.net.au and I will liaise with the park regarding your accomodation booking.

If you have an alternate venue suggestion, please let me know.

As a "Safari" normally involves capturing wild amimals in Africa, our more gentile "Getaway" will not harm any animals other than those who give their lives to feed us.

ROTARY DISTRICT 9510 NEWS

Rotary supporting great youth programs…..

Have you heard about this great organisation - Operation Flinders?

Operation Flinders transform the lives of young people from the age of 13 - 18. The 8-day program is held in the northern Flinders Ranges where young people trek up to 100km, experience abseiling, Indigenous culture, bushcraft and build self-confidence through challenging themselves. These young people come from all across South Australia and are typically referred to us as part of a team of 10 from one school or agency.

Once the young person completes an Exercise, they have the opportunity to join the Next Step program. This program opens them up to a world of opportunity and growth to transform their lives!

Did you know that there are approximately 25 Rotary Clubs within this District that support this organisation? There is a campsite on Yankaninna station, home of Operation Flinders, named Rotary Campsite.

The photo below features a team of young people sitting around the campfire at Rotary Campsite and reflecting on their journey. The naming of the campsites is not done lightly and they are named in recognition of people and organisations who have made a significant contribution to Operation Flinders over a long period of time – the location of this campsite is usually midway through the exercise when young people are undergoing their transformation.

Great example of Rotary supporting great youth programs that achieve great outcomes for the future generation. There have been over 9,000 youth who have participated in this program.

Operation Flinders Foundation exists to transform the lives of young people through quality remote outback adventure programs.

End Polio Now

In 1985 Rotary launched PolioPlus to immunize every child in the world against polio. Working with our partners and members of the global health community, together we will end polio.

Through the science of vaccines, Rotary & partners have saved nearly 19 million children from becoming paralyzed by polio. Learn more about our work to End Polio Now and how you can get involved: https://on.rotary.org/3eqtrrr

Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 35 years, and we’ve made incredible progress in the fight to rid the world of it forever.

As a founding partner of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, we've helped to reduced polio cases by more than 99.9 percent.

It’s crucial to eradicate polio from the last two countries where it remains endemic and to keep other countries polio-free.

If all eradication efforts stopped today, within 10 years, polio could paralyze as many as 200,000 children each year.

What is polio?

Polio, or poliomyelitis, is a paralyzing and potentially deadly infectious disease that most commonly affects children under the age of 5. The virus spreads from person to person, typically through contaminated water. It can then attack the nervous system.
