14.01.2022 47 Years Rotary Service On Monday 24 August 2020 members of the Rotary Club of Cooroy said farewell to John Gabb who retired from active service after 47 years in Rotary. Club members celebrated John’s contribution at a dinner in the RSL Club Cooroy Carol Johnston, President of the Rotary Club of Cooroy said: - John and his great contribution to many community organisations will be missed. He joined Rotary in Cootamundra New South Wales in 1973 while working for TAFE and he... served in many Rotary Clubs as his career progressed finally retiring and moving to Cooroy in 1993. John’s recent volunteering activities included Rotary Youth Driver Awareness, a project to provide high school students with the tools and understanding they need to see themselves as responsible road citizens and the Rotary and the University Sunshine Coast Community Fund to advance tertiary education opportunities through a partnership between Rotary and the University. He was also active with Meals On Wheels, Cooroy Rag community newspaper, Queensland Ambulance, Pomona State School Breakfast Club, Noosa District State High School Interact Club, Clean up Australia Day and many more. In 1999 John was elected District Governor for District 9600 covering part of South-East Queensland, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and Nauru. This gave John the opportunity of meeting many wonderful Rotarians, as well as all of the other Governors for the rest of Australia. John Gabb said: - What Rotary did was to give me an introduction to the business people in the new towns to which I had been transferred, thus I was not floundering trying to get to know the community’s needs for TAFE training and because we had something in common with each other.

07.01.2022 The Great Rotary Train Ride for Polio Eradication passed through Cooroy at 6.35am this morning, Friday 23 October 2020. Polio is a paralysing and potentially deadly infectious disease that most commonly affects children under the age of 5. It was the late Sir Clem Renouf a member of the Nambour Rotary Club who, as President of Rotary International in 1978 and 1979, launched the first project to vaccinate children in the Philippines. Since then Rotary members worldwide have c...ontributed more than $2.1 billion and countless volunteer hours to protect nearly 3 billion children in 122 countries from this paralysing disease and reducing the number of polio cases by 99.9 per cent. Afghanistan and Pakistan the only two countries where polio is endemic. But it’s crucial to continue working to keep all other countries polio-free. If all eradication efforts stopped today, within 10 years, polio could paralyse as many as 200,000 children each year. The fight to end polio is led by the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, which includes Rotary International, UNICEF, the U.S. Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and governments of the world including Australia.
