23.01.2022 What a meeting! Were so excited that there are so many people interested in what our club has to offer! We started off with an ice-breaker. Attend...ees were split into groups and had 10 minutes to discuss and formulate a project idea. Then present it to everyone! We then heard from the Adelaide Sustainability Association . Before moving onto a beautiful presentation about home gardening, indoor plants and growing food by Yeganeh Solt! Finally we did a live reading and adjusting of our official policies for how YOU can become an executive member! A fantastic opportunity to see how an organisation runs and operates democratically! If all this sounds like an unreal collection of topics and activities , good news! Expression of Interest: tinyurl.com/AdelaideUniRotaractClub You can join our club! We would love to see you around!

13.01.2022 2020 has taught me a lot. Particularly, I have realized the importance of finding meaning in the little moments of life. Recently I became a Rotarian. Although ...I know the impact Rotary has across the globe, I have spent the first week telling my coworkers and friends about it. They havent had experiences with it before and they were curious. What is it? What do these folks do? Who are they? Its been fun sharing this new perspective and not having to say they but getting to say, we. This week, my Dad gifted me a bracelet that has the Rotary Wheel on it. I wore it to work yesterday. During my shift, I had a patient who did not speak my language. Here in Fort Bend County, we are extremely diverse and this happens regularly. We have amazing tools at work that we can connect to in order to communicate with our patients. If we are simply going in for a moment or two, and words arent necessary, we dont use these tools, necessarily. I walked into my patients room to make some minor adjustments and when my wrist moved closer to him, the Rotary emblem from my bracelet dangled into his view. He pointed to my bracelet. For a moment I wasnt sure what he was referring to. However, he was adamant. He pointed closer and I understood. I pushed my wrist closer and showed him my bracelet and he said the word, Rotary and smiled. In that moment, we connected. A sort of trust formed. You see, prior to that moment if I came into the room to try and help another nurse, he seemed a bit fearful of me. When we have patients that dont speak our language that can be the case, sometimes. There is a sort of divide that exists when we cant communicate with the same ease as someone who speaks the same language. However, we connected and from then on, when I walked into the room, he smiled. I have a friend and coworker who speaks the same language and through the day she would tell me what he wanted, which included his tea. She communicated to me how he liked it made and she even taught me a few words so that I could learn how to tell him it was hot or that it was tea. My Dad has always stressed to me how wearing your Rotary pin can connect you to so many people. I guess in my mind I always thought it was people asking what it was. A teachable moment. I didnt even consider that it would be that same emblem that connected two different people from two different places in the world who both understood what Rotary is and what it does. What it means to be a Rotarian. They dont have to speak the same language or even be in the same place in life. I guess its true what they say. Rotary connects the world. See more

11.01.2022 Members of the Bayside Covenant of Churches and Rotary Donations in Kind made a special delivery to our staff in the mental health unit last week. They dropped ...off gratitude bags filled with self-care items, as a token of their appreciation for the work the mental health team do, and continue to do throughout the pandemic. Word spread in the Bayside community about the gratitude project, resulting in the creation of over 1800 bags for our staff and staff at other hospitals. A huge thank you to Rotary and their partnerships, for their ongoing kindness and support to our mental health unit and patients. See more
11.01.2022 Visit by DG David Jones and his partner Lynne, and DAG Sheralee (yes, really - Rotarians do have a sense of humour!) last night at Lobethal Bierhaus.

The guests were shown some of our Club's fencing work after the Cudlee Creek bushfires, which will be ongoing for at least a year, prior to meeting the Board before dinner.

11.01.2022 Service has long been recognised as a fundamental feature of Rotary membership. But neither Rotary nor any of the other major service organisations have been ab...le to gain a meaningful handle on the actual scale or economic value of the volunteer effort they mobilise. Now, an international report has powerfully demonstrated the significant renewable resource of volunteering that service organisations like Rotary are generating. The recent worldwide study on the The Scope and Scale of Rotary Volunteering, conducted by the John Hopkins Centre for Civil Society Studies found that: Rotarys 1.2 million members volunteered a total of nearly 5.8 million hours in the four-week reference period. Taking out the hours of volunteering associated with World Polio Day, which fell in the survey reference period, Rotary members accounted for close to 5.1 million hours of volunteering. Rotary annually mobilises volunteer effort equivalent to nearly 27,000 full-time paid workers. Rotary volunteers save communities an estimated US$850 million in service costs per year. Our members are responsible for 47 million hours of volunteering per year. Average volunteer hours per month varied by region, with the average hours in Australia and New Zealand being six. These statistics do not include the more than one million friends and relatives of members who frequently help out at Rotary-organised volunteering events. Nor do they include the volunteering contributed by more than 700,000 members of Rotarys Rotaract, Interact or Community Corp affiliates. The study concludes that: Rotary is annually generating a scale of social and economic problem-solving effort that is worth nearly nine times more than it costs the organisation to produce. Here is a powerful demonstration of the enormous leveraging possibilities available from mobilising the unique renewable resource represented by volunteer work.

09.01.2022 I know this lockdown has been beyond devastating for people, their families, livelihoods and this includes me Adelaide, I know everyone will be furious with ...the person who lied to SA Health about their actions/movements, and I know the consequences have been financially, socially, emotionally devastating - and I am not looking to excuse their behaviour BUT can we please interrogate the upstream and bigger picture here. WHY did this person lie? What in SOCIETY caused them to do this? If they were working illegally then why? Casualised workforces, insufficient income, low pay and not enough hours, insufficient social welfare, etc - these factors are all at play here too I don't mean this post to be insensitive or dismissive of harm and damage that has been caused- in any way - this is intended as a call to how we can learn from these things, and how public policies rather than individual blame has infinitely more capacity to have positive impact moving forward Post stolen from a friend but 100% agreed with
09.01.2022 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.
