21.01.2022 Thank you for answering all of our questions about Meals on Wheels Central Coast.

21.01.2022 The Rotary Clubs of the Central Coast marked the 100 years of Rotary in Australia last week with the presentation of a plaque at the Mount Penang Gardens. We w...ere pleased to have a number of dignitaries at the event with Adam Crouch MP, our District Governor David Clark and President of Gosford City Rotary David Bacon as guest speakers. We were also honoured to have Liesl Tesch MP and many other Rotarians attend the event. We would like to acknowledge the great deal of work performed by our own President Max Pittolo in making the event such a success.

19.01.2022 Most people have heard of Rotary Youth Exchange, the world’s biggest and best-known student cultural exchange program. But not everyone would know that it came ...about thanks to Australian Rotarians. Since it was conceived, Rotary Youth Exchange, or as it was once known, Rotary Student Exchange, has become one of Rotary’s most respected and valuable programs. The current Rotary Youth Exchange program had its genesis in an exchange between Australian Rotary clubs and clubs in Nebraska, US, back in 1959. The program’s ongoing success over the following years led to its official adoption worldwide in 1972. It started at an international assembly of Rotary governors, held at Lake Placid in the US in 1958. Harley Shaver, a past governor from Nebraska, asked many of those present to go home and consider a new idea of student exchange. This proposed exchange would enable students to spend a year in a different country, in a different culture, while going to school. Joe Bradbury, an incoming governor from District 280, Australia, accepted the challenge of an exchange between his district and the district in Nebraska, currently Rotary International District 5450. Joe asked two enthusiastic Rotarians, Peter Barnett, of Myrtleford Rotary and Clive Schliebs, of the Rotary Club of Wangaratta (@rotarywangaratta.org.au), now Rotary District 9790 (@rotary9790), to both develop the program’s rules and promote participation. The very first exchange was eventually held between District 280 and the district in Nebraska when, in January 1959, John Rogers, a 15-year-old student from Scottsbluff, Nebraska, arrived in Myrtleford. At the same time, two Australian students, Nick Rutherford and Norm Jordon, left District 280 for Scottsbluff and Grand Lake, Colorado. It was these first three Rotary Youth Exchange students who started what has now become an opportunity of a lifetime for so many others. Today, between 8000 and 9000 exchanges are arranged each year affording students from around 80 countries of the Rotary world the opportunity of a lifetime.

18.01.2022 Graffiti Removal Day On Sunday 28 March people in the Wyong/Watanobbi area are being encouraged to show they love not just their own home but also their local community by volunteering a couple of hours to remove graffiti. Graffiti Removal Day provides a great opportunity for people to go beyond their front fence and reconnect after the impacts of COVID-19.... We are encouraging people to reconnect by not only removing ugly graffiti but also working together to come up with ways to prevent graffiti. Ideas such as murals, planting trees and educating people to report graffiti are all great ways to prevent graffiti coming back. To help inspire people the Graffiti Removal Day organisers are running a competition to find the best mural in NSW with a $1000 first prize. People can volunteer, suggest an idea, find out more about the mural competition or nominate a clean-up site by going to the website www.graffitiremovalday.org.au Local area co-ordinator Wayne Ballard - 0417 440088 Love where you live

17.01.2022 Operation Christmas Child is a hands-on way for our Rotary club to bless children in need across the world by filling shoeboxes with toys, hygiene items, school supplies, and fun gifts. The Samaritans Purse collect the boxes and distribute them to children living in vulnerable situations. We get a lot of help to pack the shoe boxes from our friends, students, pre-schools, grand children etc. samaritanspurse.org.au/what-we-do/operation-christmas-child
