Cnile virus affects club

Thanks to the Kippa Ring Rotary club for this prognosis of latest virus strain ...it seems to have affected some of our members. 

Phillip surprises with Global Sight Solutions 

Global Sight Solutions is an avoidable blindness charity started by Rotary - who knew?

It was registered with the charity commission back in the 1990s by members of Guildford Rotary Club, the aim being to work with Rotary Clubs in the developing world and together establish financially sustainable eye hospitals which can provide a full range of eye care, free to the world’s poorest.

It is100% a Rotary charity and, by virtue of the work it does, falls into one of the seven Rotary Foundation areas of focus and can therefore obtain generous grants to help with financing its projects

Phillip Gordon, our new member from Pontefract took the club through Rotary International and local and his support for Global sight solutions and his trip to India.......and what a tale!. From the life changes that the program makes ......to the difficulties and the growth of such an amazing program from an original Rotary Club idea. Encouraging and supporting local opticians and surgeons to build and operate affordable eye hospitals around the world.

This program is truly "making a difference"with a lot of hard work, dedicated volunteers and the support of Rotarians. Brilliant. 

Club Ideas are coming in....

January is ideas month - so how about these?

We had and idea and support for doing an event (walk perhaps) for Rotary International causes, such as polio plus...but what about this ..
 
or what about a Community Calendar ? Is this something we think has merit?
 
Clean Up Australia Day is coming !

Step Up to Clean Up ?

The club has supported Clean Up Australia Day at Alex for umpteen years, and towards the end of last year we had a bit of a review and looking for ideas to refresh the day so tat it becomes more of a meaningful community activity in a location where to be honest is usually spotless thanks to the community and community groups who keep this area pristine year round.

Inclusion is the thing, Diversity is for free

Karis talks to club about her passion for inclusiveness

We found out quite a few things from Karis's talk. Thats apart from a few members failure to grasp some mathematical concepts, like multiplication, division etc, and some operational problems with calculators. Leaving that embarrassment to one side, it was a lively discussion from Karis Ramsay who has spent all of her adult life making a difference to communities domestically and internationally. From refugee camps, to disability programs to corporate education on inclusivity and diversity, Karis has crammed it all in with great enthusiasm.
