Pause for a moment…. Reflect on all the inspirational people of all ages, with whom you have come in contact...…in business…in sustainability,…. caring for the environment…in education, in volunteering, in local, national and international projects…. Who are those hidden heroes who are worthy of acknowledgement?

PP Neil McWhannell and a Starfish story
Posted by Neil McWhannell
Which Starfish will you save?
Rotary International President Gordon McInally, recently highlighted the huge number of issues, needs and potential Rotary projects within the world. He likened these to a beach covered in dying starfish and stressed that we cannot save them all – but we can save some!
As Rotarians, we have the potential to have a lasting impact on the world by leaving a BEQUEST to The Rotary Foundation. You will make a tangible difference to the lives of those in need. The more we donate, the more we can achieve.
I encourage all Rotarians to leave a small amount of their estate to The Rotary Foundation. By doing this, you will have a lasting and positive impact on the world.
Please contact me for assistance or if you would like me to give a short presentation to your Club. We have sample Wills and Codicils available.
See why people are donating: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmR3cSnAYIQ
 
We look forward to acknowledging all donors at the Foundation Recognition Dinner on Monday 6 November.  Click here to register.
 
Rotary District Disaster Relief portfolio
Posted by PDG Mina Howard
Our Rotary District Community team have developed a new aspect to the services they coordinate.
 
A Disaster Relief team
 
Generally, the primary function of the RDR Team will be to give specific advice and suggestions to the RDR Committee when called upon.

We have already had a productive meeting with the SES Commissioner Carlene York and look forward to developing a working relationship with the SES. There is more to be done and we will reach out to you for assistance once we have identified an opportunity and need.
 
Our Mission
 is to respond to disasters by meeting those affected and 
working with them in identifying

“what do you need”?

 
RAWCS into the breach

Maui Wild Fire Disaster - to provide funds for humanitarian programs to assist the people and communities affected by the catastrophic wild fires on Maui, Hawaii.
 
Donation link 
 
The worst wildfires in the US in more than a century have caused loss of life, left thousands in need of emergency shelter, and reduced towns to ash. 
Your donation to the Hawaii Wildfire Relief Fund will support immediate wildfire relief and long-term recovery efforts in affected communities.
 
Rotary Australia World Community Service (RAWCS) will be working with Rotary Clubs within the regions in providing assistance to affected communities. RAWCS has registered a Rotary Australia Relief Fund project to seek financial assistance, donations are tax deductible.

ROTARY CLUBS’
CHRISTMAS PUDDING SALES
(All proceeds applied to “Books in Homes” at Moree East Public School)
products from
PUDDING LANE (Newcastle)
 
Dear Rotary member, last year's appeal was very successful - I welcome your support again for this worthy cause.
 
For the last several years, local Rotary Clubs have worked together in raising funds for a literacy program at Moree East Public School called “Books in Homes”. Nearly 90% of the students at the school come from the local Aboriginal community. The program has had a profound positive effect on the literacy skills of the students.
 
One of the fund-raising activities has been the sale of delicious puddings from Pudding Lane.
