And the winners are...

First National, Cleveland,  were the winning team of our 24th Annual Charity Golf Day, held at Redland Bay Golf Club on Friday 1st November. What a wonderful day - perfect golfing weather, 18 teams all giving of their generosity and time to support the local community. Local organisations such as the Mater Hospital Redland Auxiliary, Redland Community Centre and the Redland Foundation, with an emphasis on these organisations support for victims of Domestic & family violence are the beneficiaries of the Golf Day. At the event, many of the players also supported our other major fundraiser - the Christmas Lottery - which is supporting agencies in the Redlands who provide support for the homeless. The champions are all those players and sponsors - we thank you so much, without your support we cannot help the community. Check out our Photo Gallery for more photos from the Golf Day.

High Tea for RAM - Rotarians Against Malaria

The International Committee worked hard for weeks, and the event was a great success. Information about malaria and the new vaccine being worked on at Griffith University by Dr. Danielle Stanisivic outlined for our guests the reason for our event. Entertainment by poet Peter Morley and local singer Liam Waldock, with delicious food provided by many volunteers, made for a lovely afternoon at the Lions Hall in Cleveland. Emcee Lorraine Furness did a wonderful job keeping the momentum going with lots of time to share some chatter and a few laughs together. Thanks to all involved - too many to mention individuals as I don't wish to miss anyone out. More photos in the Photo Gallery.

Mayor Jos Mitchell, PHF, RARE & PNG - a busy night

Last Tuesday night Mayor Jos Mitchell made her official visit to our Club, and told us a little about herself, her family, career and some projects that the Council is working on. We look forward to seeing more of you in the future Mayor Jos.  Pres. Clive had the great pleasure of presenting his first PHF to PP Hugh Dickson. It was wonderful to have Hugh and Sandy join us for this occasion, giving us the opportunity to say thanks for their support of the club, and catching up with old friends. PP Shirley showed a brief Powerpoint outlining the tremendous work being done in the last 3 months in particular at RARE - 
Rotary Australia Repurposing Equipment. A heartfelt thanks to the Rotary Club of Cleveland for their support of RARE since it moved to Alexandra Hills - both regular and occasional volunteers. See next screen for links to files, read the details - some of them are mind-blowing.

Basic Education arrives in PNG

We talk a lot about the work done at RARE - Rotary Australia Repurposing Equipment. On Saturday a container arrived in a village in the Highlands of Papua New Guinea, organised by Dickson Ken through RARE Northern Region. Pictured are 100's of boxes of books being unloaded to help the local village children have a chance at an education. At RARE we are currenly short of good quality children's books - Primary School aged reading books and non-fiction (information) books. If you can help with donations please collect them and give them to Shirley so that they can be packed into boxes for future deliveries. The smiles on the faces make it worthwhile, and they haven't even opened the boxes yet!!!

RAM - Rotarians Against Malaria

Many of us were privilieged to hear Dr. Danielle Stanisic of Griffith University speak about the research being undertaken to produce a vaccine for malaria.

We all know of the work done by RAM with impregnated mosquito nets etc., but the work to produce a vaccine rivals the work many years ago to develop the vaccine for polio. Can we, Rotary, with the help of these Griffith University scientists do for the millions dying of malaria what we have done (and almost completed) for polio? One statististic stood out for me - 1 child dies from malaria every minute across the world!!!

Check out the attached documents.

Christmas Lottery

It's that ime of year again folks! The Christmas Lottery is open for sale, and we need your support to sell the 300 tickets to your family, friends and neighbours.  Who wouldn't love to have $10,000 for Christmas?  How many mortgage payments would that represent? What kind of holiday could you have?

Tickets will be available at our meeting on Tuesday night, or if you can't wait that long, give Shirley a call and get your book now! 

All proceeds this year will be directed towards local charities supporting the Homeless in the Redlands.

ROTATE - Recycling

Following Frank’s presentation on Tuesday evening, Ross asked if he would send through additional info on what ROTATE collects and he has sent through the attached for members to have a look through.

 The interesting aspect of the promotions which ROTATE undertake is that it is all visual.

 A look at the ROTATE pamphlet clearly shows the everyday items which the project is endeavouring to keep out of landfill.

 As Frank explained,  many items are small in size and aren’t separated individually through the Council recycling programme, inevitably ending up in landfill.

 ROTATE have set up a collection wall at RARE and our challenge is to consciously divert these items from our own rubbish bin/yellow top bin, collect and drop off at RARE.  

 ROTATE have purchased a dedicated collection van (similar to our club van) and they will collect from RARE.

 Maybe our club challenge is to work out a smaller version of their recycling wall which we can leave in the garage or wherever to fill and then into the car boot to go to RARE. Perhaps an inexpensive plastic box with moveable internal partitions? Something to think about.

See next page for more information - documents and pictures.

Focus on RARE - 2

This is what makes all the work worthwhile, when we get photos, this time from Wewak, as the containers are unpacked and the children get to see and read the books we have sent. On Wednesday Sr. Cathy sent us photos of them celebrating National Book Week in Wewak, with children from Holy Rosary Early Childhood Centre and St Mary's Catholic Primary School. Check the Photo Gallery for lots more photos.
