25.01.2022 President Holger's Message Month Of July 2020 Dear Rotarians, Rotaractors, and friends, This does not seem like a time for great optimism, but it has to be. Lo...ng before Rotary was founded, the world dealt with great crises that tested humankind’s ability to progress and endure. In the age of Rotary, the world has faced many more catastrophes; however, we have survived, and every step of the way, Rotary has helped the world heal. Every great challenge is an opportunity for renewal and growth. I revealed the theme of Rotary Opens Opportunities at the International Assembly in San Diego just as the COVID-19 crisis was beginning, but these are words that I have believed for many years. Rotary is not just a club that you join; it is an invitation to endless opportunities. We believe in creating opportunities for others and for ourselves. We believe that our acts of service, large and small, generate opportunities for people who need our help, and that Rotary opens opportunities for us to live a richer, more meaningful life, with friends around the world, based on our core values. Governments and institutions are gaining a greater appreciation for the types of public health partnerships that are critical to our work. People stuck at home, eager for greater connections and hungry to help their communities, are now embracing the values we have promoted since our beginning. All of this is positive news, but just because there are greater opportunities than ever for Rotary to thrive does not guarantee that we will succeed. The world is changing rapidly and was doing so even before this crisis. People were starting to move away from regular lunch meetings and toward online gatherings. Friendships were being cultivated and revived in social media relationships even before most of our meetings moved to Zoom and Skype. Younger generations have a strong desire to serve but have questioned whether they could play a meaningful role in organizations like Rotary or whether they might make a bigger impact forming different types of connections. Now is the time to put everything on the table, test new approaches, and prepare Rotary for the future. The COVID-19 crisis has forced all of us to adapt. This is good, and our new Action Plan specifically calls on us to improve our ability to adapt. But adaptation is not enough. We need to change, and change dramatically, if we are to face the challenges of this new age and provide the Rotary that the world so desperately needs. This is our great challenge, not just in the next year but into the future. It is up to us to remake Rotary for these new times to wholeheartedly embrace the ideas, energy, and commitment of young people eager to find an outlet for idealism. We must become an organization fully enmeshed in the digital age, not one that simply looks for online ways to keep doing what we have always done. The world needs Rotary now more than ever. It is up to us to make sure that Rotary Opens Opportunities for generations to come. HOLGER KNAACK President, Rotary International.

20.01.2022 Postponement of the Rotary 29th Charity Golf Day, Friday 3 April 2020 In light of current Federal and State Government policy and recommendations regarding the ongoing and future risks of Covid19, the Rotary Club of Nelson Bay Golf Committee has determined to postpone the 29th Rotary Charity Golf Day until a future unknown date. The Golf Committee has not taken this decision lightly. Factors taken into consideration include the age demographic of Rotary members working on the... day, and both players and the public involved in the event, as well as staff of the golf club. All payments made through trybooking to play in the event will be refunded to you. If your booked in for a team of players could you please advise the other members of the team that the event has been postponed and payments refunded. Once the impact and threat of Covid19 has been determined by authorities to have receded, we will schedule a new date for the Charity Golf Day. We will advise when the rescheduled date is determined and hope that players, sponsors and community will once again be in a position to support our Charity Golf Day which is a very important event in the Rotary Club of Nelson Bay's calendar. Kind regards, Arja Levonpera (Ph: 0412 373 050) President The Rotary Club of Nelson Bay Head of Organising Committee-Charity Golf Day

Exactly like our soldiers do at a war. Thank you guys, we will never, ever be able to repay you. #medicalhealth #coronavirus
