Making Up a Meeting
One of the benefits of being in Rotary is the ability to make up a meeting in any country, city, town or village that has a Rotary club. Recently I made up at the Rotary Club of Ballarat West in Victoria. It was a social meeting and we were given a tour of some of Ballarat’s best known statues of which Ballarat is famous for. We finished the evening with pizzas and great fellowship. Thank you Ballarat West for your kind hospitality.
A story appears in our weekly bulletin here:

‘Reach Within to Embrace Humanity’ is 2011-12 RI theme
Rotary Theme 2011 from Rotary International on Vimeo.
Each year the incoming Rotary International President choses a theme for his year as president and this year RI President-elect Kalyan Banerjee will ask Rotarians to Reach Within to Embrace Humanity during the 2011-12 Rotary year.
Banerjee unveiled the RI theme during the opening plenary session of the 2011 International Assembly, a training event for incoming district governors.
He urged participants to harness their inner resolve and strength to achieve success in Rotary.
“In order to achieve anything in this world, a person has to use all the resources he can draw on. And the only place to start is with ourselves and within ourselves,” Banerjee said.
Once Rotarians find their inner strength, he continued, they can accomplish great things in their communities and around the world.

“The implications of this short statistical presentation for fund raising and service delivery within and by Rotary are interesting – ”
Keep an eye on the blue bubbles they represent African countries. A most interesting look at the world and with some optimism. There is also mention of the impact of AIDS on South Africa.

What some Rotary Clubs are doing this Christmas:

CHRISTMAS DAY LUNCH AND TEA PARTY FOR THE ELDERLY PEOPLE OF WANDSWORTH
Do you want to have a fun Christmas but would like to do something worthwhile at the same time? Are you fed up with the meaningless commercial greed of Christmas and wish you could give some of your time as a gift to others?
If the answer to these questions is “yes”, then come to the Christmas Events Marquee in Battersea Park and help the Rotary Club of Battersea Park give a joyful Christmas Day party to elderly people who would otherwise be alone, without the company of family and friends, on Christmas Day.
We have been providing a special Christmas Day Party for elderly people for over forty years. From small beginnings, catering for only about fifty guests, the numbers have grown so much that over the years we have moved venues several times to cope with the demand. Now we are in a huge marquee in the ‘Battersea Evolution’ events arena in Battersea Park, kindly donated to us by Greg Lawson of Quantum Leap Events.

Welcome to Coolamon Rotary Lelsie and Paul Weston
Last night we welcomed Leslie and Paul Weston to our club as members of the Rotary Club of Coolamon. Their induction will take place soon.
Paul, Leslie and Nicole Weston
The NSW Government has been successful in encouraging one of the world’s ‘best and brightest’ minds to relocate to inland NSW to carry out innovative research into the development of natural herbicides. Professor Leslie Weston, from Cornell University, one of the United State’s premier research universities, has relocated to the EH Graham Centre for Agricultural Innovation at Charles Sturt University’s (CSU) Wagga Wagga Campus under the government’s Life Science Research Awards. The NSW Minister for Science and Medical Research, Ms Verity Firth said, “Professor Weston is a recognised leader in her field of research and her relocation to the state is a major scientific coup and will cement NSW at the leading edge of scientific research into natural herbicides.” CSU Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President (Research), Professor Paul Burnett has welcomed Professor Weston’s move, stating it is a fantastic outcome for the University. The EH Graham Centre for Agricultural Innovation is a collaborative alliance between CSU and the NSW Department of Primary Industries.
Leslie was our guest speaker last Monday night. Originally from Western in New York State, USA
