Soup night for Story Dogs

Robin Archer prepares to have his soup from the doggy bowl. Tonight we were served soup and roll (served in a doggy bowl with a bone shaped bread roll), with the difference in the cost between that and our normal meal going towards funds for the Story Dogs project. Story Dogs are used to help children develop reading skills, a very valuable program that is growing throughout the Redlands schools. Anna Bray spoke about the program for the information of those who had not been present earlier this year when one of the dogs visited us. Club Assembly followed - Directors will report back shortly to the members.

Check the Photo Gallery for more photos from tonight.

Redfest

Luis & Luciana Carneiro, Cynthia and Robin Archer have fun on the Long St Gate at Redfest, greeting people and helping them put their wristbands on. At the Touch Football Gate Jon and Wendy Womersley with Yu-Min Sun did the same.

Joe Gamblin PHF - CEO of MyHorizon

MyHorizon at Capalaba and the Rotary Club of Cleveland have very close ties with a number of our members being on the Board, at least one is a volunteer, and of course our last 2 Changeovers have been held in their great function room. Last night we heard much more about the man leading the MyHorizon Foundation, what in his life lead him to this position, and how much the organisation has grown in it's 30 year existence.  It was this work that led us to present Joe with a Paul Harris Fellow at the 2017/18 Changeover. Our Sensory Garden project, will ultimately benefit the clients and visitors to the Centre.  Graeme Lewis hosted Joe last night as he told us about his life and the Centre, answering many questions at the end.

Dance, drama, film and music

Cleveland State High School Performing Arts students wowed us with lots of talent on Tuesday night, finishing with a modern, inspiring Can-Can! In preparation for their overseas trip in 18 months time,  some very talented young people, demonstrated by some playing instruments, dancing (and some doing both), film clips, visual arts showcasing their early preaprations for their bi-annual trip. If this was the early development, then they are on the way to a fantastic level of performance.  We look forward to our visit next year when they have worked on it for another 12 months. 

Eliminating Hepatitis C - The Kombi Clinic

It can be cured! Hepatitis Queensland's Kombi Clinic nurse Mim O'Flynn won the 2018 HESTA Nursing & Midwifery Awards Team Excellence award in May. Last night Mim enlightened us all about the program that has recently started in Brisbane to identify and  treat people with Hepatitis C.

RYLA Helped Maddison refocus on studies

Maddison Bartnik, our RYLA attendee for 2018 told us how her participation at RYLA really helped her to refocus on the double degree she is studying, and to cope better with stress. Her grandfather, Allan Tully, nominated Maddison for the award and is justifiably very proud of his granddaughter and her achievements.

Inspirational members - Yu-Min Sun and Bob Neich

What an inspiration to all is Yu-Min, as she tells us about her experience on Efate Island in Vanuatu, with a group from Cleveland District State High School, setting up 3 libraries in primary schools over the recent holidays. An interactive, informative and entertaining presentation.

Dan Holzapfel Park

On Wednesday 25th July, Dan Holzapfel attended a meeting of the Redland City Council, where he was honoured to learn that the area formerly known as Sandy Drive Park, Victoria Point, is being renamed Dan Holzapfel Park. The name was nominated by Ray McAllister of Renaissance Retirement village, and the name plate was presented by Mayor Karen Williams and Deputy Mayor Lance Hewlett, Councillor for that Ward.

Finally! Sensory Garden working bee.

What started with an idea in the 2013-2014 year, followed through the years with many meetings with Council and Indigiscapes, a huge amount of planning and designing, and we have finally been able to have our first working bee on site.  So many thanks must go to Michelle Ramirez and Graeme Lewis who have worked tirelessly over the last year or so to get us to this stage.

Rotary’s Commitment to Creating a Healthier World 

Around the world, 400 million people can’t afford or don’t have access to basic health care, which can result in pain, poverty, and misery. That’s why Rotary members are devoted to fighting and preventing diseases. From offering temporary clinics, blood donation centers, and training facilities in underserved communities to designing and building infrastructure to allow doctors, patients, and governments to work together, Rotary members take on efforts both large and small.
