Our Candidate for NYSF
What a delight it always is to hear from students who are achieving so much in their education. Sarah Linning is our candidate for NYSF - still has to go through the selection process but we believe she is a very worthy candidate. A student at Queensland Academy for Health Sciences, Sarah is a local girl - her mother Amanda works at Cleveland State High School.

Poultry Industry under the spotlight
Last night David Bray from Darwalla Milling & Golden Cockerel helped us to better understand the poultry industry which has been the lifetime work of some of our members and a prominent part of the agricultural industry in the Redlands. David is also a member of Redlands Bayside Rotary Club, the District YEP Chairman along with his many roles in the Poultry Industry both here and internationally. Thanks David for a very interesting talk.
Adam Boyle, our newest member inducted
President Ian Neil officially inducted Adam Boyle on Tuesday 20th March. Adam has already been invaluable in work behind the scenes on grant applications for our Sensory Garden project, and we welcome him into the club as our newest Rotarian.

Pres. Ian Neil presented Kath McNeilly with a Sapphire to her Paul Harris Fellow this morning, at the opening of the new Rotary Heritage Library at Redlands Museum, in recognition of her 50 years serving on various voluntary committees in the Redlands, including being a Past President of the Redlands Museum.

Raby Bay Triathlon March 4th 2018
Terrific to see our new Year 7 Interact Club members doing their first Sausage Sizzle at the Triathlon this morning - here with Teacher Nathan Powell and Pres. Ian Neil. Rotarians Chris Beattie,Greg Watson, & Graeme Lewis, together with our stalwart friend of Cleveland Rotary Steve Neil cooking, our brand new super marquee got a good working out. Check out the rest of the photos in the Photo Gallery. Thanks to all the members who did Registrations yesterday and early this morning, and marshalled out in the hot, sticky weather this morning. Another good fundraiser for Cleveland Rotary and the Alexandra Hills State High School Interact Club.
Changing Trends in Media
Brian Hurst is thanked by PP Ron Loney for a very interesting talk about the changing trends in media. From the number of questions following, and despite the technology not working at all, Brian had the attention of the whole room. Are newspapers a thing of the past? The print version is certainly going that way. How many people subscribe to their news online? Lots to ponder and lots of new ways to get our daily dose of news. Also discussed was the change in the way journalists present the news - the world is changing so rapidly, this is another area in which we have to run to keep up with the changes.
Safety in the Workplace
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPA_6oEgc1s
In a presentation that was very difficult to condense to the time limit, Rotarian Mike Sudmalis spoke about Safety in our lives, and in particular how large corporations such as the Oil and Gas Industry deal with it. A particular episode, the Piper Alpha explosion in 1988 in the North Sea oilfields was used as an illustration. See the link in your own time and remind yourself of the need for vigilance and preparedness for safety at all times and all levels.
Yu-Min Sun Reflects on a life-changing experience
In her Member's Corner last night, Yu-Min Sun reflected on a journey taken last year with students from Cleveland District State High School, and how this particular journey changed her outlook on life.

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.
