I would not have thought I would be saying this, but it was good to back to normal for our meeting. I along with other members would have to say that the information presented by Paul Duke (Norwood) re ROMAC was most informative. It was annoying that we had some technical issues, and thanks to Rob for his effort to fix.
As you would have read in the email I sent out on Thursday regarding possible support with The Rotary Club of West Lakes at the Monarto Safari Park, I would like all members to consider if you would be willing to be part of this project.
With our smaller committees at this time, I believe there is quite a lot of action taking place with functions and projects, and I know the Directors are keen to proceed with these, so please keep an eye on the Clubs calendar.
Have a great weekend and enjoy some of our Club wine that is still available.

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.

ROTARY INTERNATIONAL
The Rotary Foundation has raised more than $15 million in relief contributions to aid Ukrainians affected by the war. And Rotary members worldwide have jumped to help in relief efforts as well— donating over $15 million in aid, gathering and sending critical medical supplies, repurposing logistics networks to source housing, and much more.
The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:
FIRST: The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;
SECOND: High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society;
THIRD: The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business, and community life;
FOURTH: The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.
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.
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.
