ESRAG welcomes back the shorebirds

ESRAG - Environmental Sustainability Rotary Action Group members Colin Scobie, Mark Mitchell and Hugh Thompsoin joined Cleveland Rotarians, PE Gavin Becker, Barry Hunt and Ross Pollock at the Welcome Back shorebirds event at G.J. Walter Park recently. 

Thank you and congratulations James Pollock

Our Rotarian James Pollock AM has been recognised by the Rotary Club of Cleveland for his work on the Bowelscan programme with a Paul Harris Fellow Award. It has been 2 decades of dedication to raising awareness of bowel cancer and the effectiveness of regular screening tests - a true manifestation of Rotary’s motto of ‘Service Above Self’ that will have saved lives.

Welcome Grant Mitchell

After many years of helping Rotary, we welcomed Grant as a Rotarian at last night's meeting, sponsored by PP John Simpson. Grant is the Deputy Principal of Cleveland District State High School, and has a long history of working with our club in many areas. Welcome Grant to Rotary Club of Cleveland.

ABCD - Asset Based Community Development

A couple of weeks ago, Daniel spoke to us about a new direction for our club - Asset Based Community Development. The full email and the propsal are on the next screen. Daniel is seeking feedback and input from members to facilitate a start on this project.

Welcome Glyn Parry

Last week we welcomed Glyn Parry into the club - please make sure you take the time to get to know Glyn and our other newer members Michael & Steven. While Michael has been a Rotarian for many years and was previously a member of Buderim Club, Steven and Glyn are new to Rotary. Please take the time to explain some of our procedures and acronyms to them, as we often forget that not everyone is aware of what we mean when talking about Rotary and projects. For example - DID YOU KNOW that DIK (Donations in Kind) is now RARE (Rotary Australia Repurposing Equipment)?

Destiny Rescue

10,000 lives rescued from dehumanising abuse and exploitation. 

10,000 people empowered to live out their destinies.  10,000 smiles restored. 

 Every survivor has a name worth remembering, a story worth sharing and hope for a bright and free future.

Thank you for amplifying their voices and helping more than 10,000 survivors step into freedom.

Maternity Health in Western Queensland

Amazing what we, living here on the coast near big hospitals etc., do not know about the health services in rural areas.  Katie Phillips from Mater Health opened our eyes considerably on Tuesday evening on the services they are providing, in conjunction with Royal Flying Doctors. This service concentrates on women's health, gynaecology, maternity and further education for nurses and medical personnel in the rural areas. Katie also spoke about Birthing Kits, particularly the service provided to African countries, which differs a little from the service we provide to Papua New gjuinea.

News from Cambodia

Albert has received the following news from Darrel Steer, who spoke to us last year regarding his work in Cambodia - some members of the club have been supporting this project.

"There have been some magic moments during the past six weeks but firstly, a big thank you to all those who gave generously in response to our ‘end of financial year' requests.  Your support will continue to make a difference in the village communities.    

Redlands Coast Chamber of Commerce

We have had a great relationship with the Redlands Coast Chamber of Commerce over the years, with combined Business Breakfasts and other events. In the last couple of years, the Chamber has undergone some major changes in focus and direction. Vice president Cindy Corrie updated us on the changes to date, and mentioned future plans. We are hoping for further collaboration on events, and this will be championed by our own Daniel Hobbs, also on the Board of the Chamber of Commerce.  Check out their dynamic website www.redlandscoastchamber.org.au Not mentioned on the night, is a recent collaboration of the Chamber with Redland Museum, to develop a Sporting Hall of Fame - a project currently in the development phase.

PHF for Don

Former Redlands Mayor and Chairman of Redlands Foundation and Redlands Sporting Club, Don Seccombe AM, received Paul Harris Fellowship Award in recognition of his services to the Redland City community.

Also receiving her Paul Harris Fellow pin was Ishbel Taylor, who committed to support the Rotary Foundation at District Assembly. Ishbel as we know has been a dedicated member of the Board, past Youth Director and now International Director, and is also District 9620 Interact chair.

Congratulations to both of our new PHFs.
