23.01.2022 Rotary’s Centenary hits the road In conjunction with the Variety Bash Queensland, the Rotary Club of Caboolture, Qld, is creating a vehicle that will be a mobil...e billboard to celebrate and promote 100 years of Rotary in Australasia. The car has been registered as #1921, to recognise the commencement of Rotary in Australasia. All Rotary clubs in Australia can participate by sponsoring a Rotary Wheel on the vehicle, which will be used as a daily commute throughout the year and an entry in the 2020 Variety Bash Queensland. The goal is for 100 Rotary clubs to be sponsors at $100 or greater relative to the size of the wheel and location on the vehicle. The Variety Bash Queensland is to be held at the beginning of September, starting from Winton via Birdsville and onto the Barossa Valley in South Australia. The team of three Caboolture Rotarians, led by Peter Brown with his brother and son, will drive the vehicle from Brisbane to the start in Winton, and return to Brisbane from the end of the Bash in the Barossa Valley. The vehicle will cover approximately 5500km through Queensland, NSW and South Australia. It is anticipated the vehicle will be a great talking point, drawing enquiries about Rotary. The Rotary Club of Caboolture has already attracted two applications for membership before the car has even been painted. A Caboolture Rotarian and owner of Jonkers Smash Repairs has donated the paint job. Peter participated in the 2019 Variety Bash as a co-driver in another vehicle and said it was a fun event with a serious message that was consistent with the aims of Rotary. Funds raised through sponsorship of Rotary wheels on the vehicle will be donated to Variety Kids giving kids a fair go through sickness, disadvantage, or living with special needs. The club anticipates this will have multiple rewards through supporting a worthwhile organisation, making Rotary highly visible to promote our good work and attract potential new members. Interested clubs can contact club secretary Peter Brown via [email protected].

17.01.2022 During the International Day of Peace in 2015, Past District Governor Jennifer Scott attended the Dialogue for Peace initiative at NSW Parliament and met a wond...erful group of refugees from the Great Lakes, an area covering the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Burundi and Uganda. Following the celebration, in March 2017, Jennifer’s Central Blue Mountains Rotary, Rotary District 9685, agreed to host a group of refugee women in the Blue Mountains. Among them was the charismatic changemaker Rosemary Kariuki, who is on a mission to empower migrant women, enticing them out of cultural silos, exposing them to new ideas, experiences and the wider Australian society. The story of these women is now being told in a film directed by Ros Horin and produced by Pat Fiske. Rosemary's Way will premiere at Sydney Film Festival, which is going online and national for the first time tomorrow. Tickets cost $14 and can be used anytime between June 10-21 for a one time viewing. Book now at ondemand.sff.org.au/film/rosemarys-way #RosemarysWay #Sydneyfilmfestival #RotaryConnectsTheWorld

15.01.2022 Rotary clubs in Australia and New Zealand have contributed to the largest-ever Rotary Foundation Grant to fund vital healthcare equipment on the world’s largest... purpose-built NGO hospital ship, operated by Mercy Ships. The ‘Global Mercy’ launches in 2021 and will double the NGO’s healthcare impact throughout West Africa by providing six surgical specialities, as well as training for local healthcare workers. Money donated by Craig Brodey, of Lane Cove Rotary, Rotary District 9685, together with contributions from New Zealand’s Rotary Club of Morrinsville - District 9930 Inc, Rotary District 9930 Central North Island New Zealand, forms part of the 2020 Rotary Foundation global grant of US$1.125 million, helping outfit six operating theatres, three infection isolation rooms, six wards, and an intensive care unit on board the Global Mercy. Worldwide, two out of three people could not access surgery when they need it pre-COVID-19. More than 18 million people were dying unnecessarily from conditions that could have been treated by surgery because they could not afford it, could not access it, or it was simply not available in their country at any time. In 2020 this need has escalated. During the 50-year lifespan of the ‘Global Mercy’, it is estimated more than 150,000 people will be transformed through free essential surgery. The addition of the new hospital ship will enable Mercy Ships to reach more people in need and train more local healthcare professionals, while leaving a sustainable, lasting healthcare legacy.

15.01.2022 Rotary International Presidential message Month of April 2020 I spend a lot of time thinking of family, not just my own or the extended family of Rotary, but al...so the families we are helping in the communities we serve. In many parts of the world, mothers and children face challenges to survive that most of us will never comprehend. According to the World Health Organization, the risk of a woman in a low-income country dying during pregnancy or childbirth, or from related causes, is about 120 times higher than that of a woman living in a high-income country. It is encouraging that infant mortality rates are declining globally, yet 4 million babies annually still die within the first year of life. In April, Rotary turns its attention to maternal and child health. And when we think of what we can do to help, we can look to clubs like the Rotaract Club of Calabar South-CB, Nigeria, for inspiration. It teamed up with the Rotaract Club of Canaan City (CB) in a program focused on educating mothers on best practices to prevent infant mortality and promote postnatal health for themselves and their babies. In Bangladesh, the Rotary Club of Dhaka North provides free surgeries and medicine to pregnant women who cannot afford the hospital costs associated with giving birth. I encourage you and your club to go to ideas.rotary.org to find projects like these that are helping to save mothers and children. We also have witnessed how millions of people families and entire communities have been ripped away from their homes because of conflict, poverty, and disasters during the past decade. But Rotary has not stood idly by during the global refugee crisis. During Rotary Day at the United Nations last November, we honored a Rotary Peace Fellow and five Rotarians who are taking action to help refugee communities. Among them was Ilge Karancak-Splane of the Rotary Club of Monterey Cannery Row, California. After visiting several tent camps in Turkey, she led a Rotary project that collected 1,000 pairs of children's shoes and socks for families in the camps and, later, led a global grant project to help educate refugee children. In March, Gay and I had the privilege of visiting a tent camp in Torbal and seeing firsthand the good work that Rotarians from Turkey and California were accomplishing with Syrian refugees. The challenges faced by mothers, their children, and refugee communities around the world are daunting. But when we remember our greatest strength how Rotary Connects the World we can begin to find solutions. Through our creativity, our resources, our dedication, and our networks, Rotary can and will open opportunities to face these challenges. Mark Daniel Maloney President 2019-20 Rotary International

11.01.2022 In developed countries clean water delivered to where it is needed is taken for granted. In under-developed countries access to clean water sources or water th...at is fit for human consumption can be a rarity. Around the world, 2.1 billion people are unable to access safe water sources within their home and this results in disease, malnourishment, illness, an inability to participate in the economic well-being of the family and community and more. A lack of clean water negatively affects sanitation, agricultural and food production (hunger) and economic development. Rotary helps through a myriad of projects that improve the sourcing, storage and distribution of clean water to where it is absolutely needed. Wells, rainwater collection, water storage dams, water tanks, filtration systems, reticulation systems along with providing the recipient communities with the knowledge and expertise to maintain these and manage the resources sustainably.

11.01.2022 Our work to eradicate polio continues even as we take action against this new disease. Manipulating Rotary’s End Polio Now logo and messaging to communicate abo...ut #COVID19 weakens the End Polio Now brand and confuses the public. Please only use the End Polio Now logo design for polio-related communications. #EndPolioNow #TheRotaryFoundation #Rotary #ThisClose

DV Safe Phone has received 655 phones and distributed 312 phones to victims of domestic violence already, with many more phones on their way from individuals and companies who are jumping on board to support this important project.

03.01.2022 Australian Rotarian, Clem Renouf, was the second Austalian elected as a Rotary International President (1978/79) and is credited with sparking the End Polio Now... campaign. During his presidential year, Sir Clem decided it was time for the legion of Rotary clubs around the world to focus less on parochial projects and tackle a big-picture problem that would leave an indelible mark on society. He had been inspired by the World Health Organization (WHO)’s eradication of smallpox and came up with Rotary’s Health, Hunger and Humanity program that would initially see 6.3 million children immunised against polio in the Philippines at a cost of just $760,000. Suddenly Sir Clem realised there was a real power for good in the form of the ready-made Rotary network spanning the globe. A lot of people say I spearheaded the eradication of polio campaign, but that’s not right. I just happened to know the right person to talk to, Sir Clem said. The right person was Rotary district governor Dr John Sever, who was head of infectious diseases at the National Institute of Health in Washington DC. Sir Clem put the question to him was there another disease that could be eliminated? His answer was Polio - Now , more than forty years later, we are 99% of the way there and are "this close" to realising Clem's dream RIP Sir Clem.
