VOLUNTEERS REQUIRED FOR A
BARBECUE IN QUEENSLAND !!!
Strathfield
Council have approached us with a request for assistance with a
difference.
Following the
devastating Queensland floods in 2011, Council have forged a special
relationship with Somerset Council (in Queensland) and has mounted a
number of support initiatives for the affected communities,
including a Christmas Toy Appeal.
Somerset council
will hold an anniversary event on 14 January 2012 at Fernvale, 60 km
out of Brisbane (a second event will be held in nearby Lowood on 15
January 2012). After a challenging year the local community group
volunteers are exhausted from their flood relief efforts and require
help to man the barbecue at the events and Strathfield Council are
approaching Strathfield community groups for assistance. Overnight
accommodation would be paid for by Somerset Council.
It seems unlikely
that we can help, but it is worth putting the question to members.
If you are likely to be near either Fernvale or Lowood on the dates
shown (or know someone who will be) and feel that you or they could
assist, please contact Secretary Rod McDougall.

use the invitation located
here to invite friends or colleagues. Payment
receipts are available on request. Note that due to space
restrictions on The Sydney, tickets are strictly limited in
number.

ROTARY'S AREAS OF FOCUS
Rotary clubs
serve communities around the world, each with unique concerns
and needs. Rotarians have continually adapted and improved the
way they respond to those needs, taking on a broad range of
service projects.

In terms of
the areas of focus here is an interesting email received from
Vibha Patil, a past President of Nasik Road Rotary Club in India
 "Dear
friends in Strathfield Rotary,
How time flies, it was just like it happened yesterday.
My association with Strathfield Rotary and Nasik road Rotary
club dates back to 2000-01 when Rtn. Raymond McCluskie and I
were going to be installed as presidents of our respective
clubs.
I take this opportunity to Wish each one of you and your
families a wonderful year 2012 ahead.
Thank you for being partners in Service.
Vibha Patil"
At the turn
of the century Strathfield Rotary undertook a Literacy project
in India with the help of Nasik Road Rotary Club and in
the following year, Past President Roger Vince's year, a
Sanitation project was also undertaken with Nasik Road Rotary
Club. These are just a couple of ways how we became involved in
international projects; all part of Rotary's areas of focus.
