Congratulations to Gary Goldsmith who has been appointed as Rotary Community Leader for RCG 9800 -1.
RORP Event - Sydare Reserve East Malvern during May 2024
Geoff Widmer from RC Glenferrie who is acting as our district/cluster Coordinator for Rotary Overseas Recycled Playgrounds (RORP) has advised that the next extraction of playground equipment will be taking place in Sydare Reserve, East Malvern during May 2014.
 
This is a great "hands on" project in which serviceable playground equipment is carefully salvaged and subsequently exported to countries in Asia where it is re-erected. 
 
A number of RC Camberwell members have participated in these activities in the past and we are again being asked to provide volunteers.
 
The date of extractions will be advised as soon as it is known and usually takes place on a weekday.
 
Club Members are asked to contact John Walmsley on 0412 516 445

Volunteers Needed: Camberwell Art Show 2024
image
 
Hi All,
 
Your help is needed!
 
Your help is needed as volunteers for this year's Camberwell Art Show!
 
This Invitation to volunteer is for Event 3 below “PAINTING HANDBACK TO BUMP OUT”.
 
BY NOW YOU WOULD HAVE RECEIVED AN INVITATION TO SIGN UP FOR EVENT NOS 1 AND 2 BELOW.  THIS EMAIL CALLS FOR VOLUNTEERS FOR EVENT 3
 
As stated in the previous email, this Year, we have divided the Sessions of the Camberwell Art Show into three sections.  They are:
1.Bump in and Set up to Gala Opening
2. Open to Public
3.Painting Handback to Bump Out
 
In time, each of you will receive an email for each of the three Events above.
 
This year, the Art Show Committee has changed the format for seeking your assistance throughout the show, with the roster and volunteering.
 
We will be using the same roster as last year, altered to accord with the corresponding sessions this year. That is, if you were on (for example) session 7 last year, you will be the corresponding session this year.
So, the times, the operation, the duties etc that you did last year will be identical this year.
 
This also applies to partners. We have rostered partners onto the same corresponding sessions as last year, as well. 
 
I would ask that you click on the link in your email which will take you to the “sign up list” that I have prepared already based on last year. 
 
If you and your partner are happy with the list that we have noted, you need do nothing more.
 
If you want to change or increase the number of sessions that you or your partner are noted on, click on the red cross adjacent to your name and that will delete you from that Session; or if you want to include your name into another Session, then click on “sign up” and include your (or your partners names).
 
Remember, it is expected that each of you will sign up to between 6-12 sessions for the whole show.
Also remember, that this is the first of three invitations that you will get, as noted above in Red, so don't look to fill up all of your sessions on this one event.
 
Also, there will be members/ partners receiving this email, who weren’t around last year and so who have not been rostered on.
 
I would ask that you (and if appropriate, your partner) click on the sign up link in your email and follow the instructions above.
 
Finally, I remind you that this is our big fund raising event for the year (along with the HMM and the Camberwell Market) and so the Committee asks that you keep that in mind when you are considering the sessions that we have booked you into.
 
On behalf of the Camberwell Art Show Committee I would like to thank you, again, for you contribution to the roster, and ask that if you have any queries on this matter that you contact me.

World Immunization Week 2024
PDG MURRAY VERSO, END POLIO NOW COORDINATOR — APR 8, 2024

World Immunization Week (24-30 April) is a perfect time for Rotary clubs to share the incredible progress Rotary and its partners have made toward eradicating polio.

Article by Murray Verso, End Polio Now Coordinator

World Immunization Week 24-30 April 2024

This year there are significant anniversaries to celebrate:

  • 10 years since the World Health Organization (WHO) South-East Asia Region was certified free of polio
  • 30 years since the WHO Americas Region was certified as polio-free
  • 50 years since the launch of the Expanded Programme on Immunization, which ensures equitable access to vaccines (including polio vaccines)

During World Immunization Week, you can raise awareness that vaccines work and give examples of what Rotary and our partners have accomplished in reducing polio cases by 99% worldwide.

How to support EndPolio during World Immunization Week

  • Visit endpolio.org
  • Explore the World Immunization Week Toolkit to find graphics and sample posts that you can share on social media with the hashtags #EndPolio and #VaccinesWork
  • Use a club meeting as an opportunity for members to learn about Rotary’s polio eradication efforts.
  • Host an event to raise awareness and funds for PolioPlus.
  • Start an online fundraiser using Raise for Rotary and share it with your network.

Don’t forget! Your district can donate District Designated Funds (DDF) to PolioPlus to help Rotary meet its US$50 million fundraising goal each year to ensure a $100 match from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

We know our work isn’t done until we end polio forever but as a Rotary member, you have a critical role in helping to achieve this very important goal.
