PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

Hello Everyone,

From the feedback I received, everyone seemed to agree that last week’s Member’s night
was a very successful night. The Paul Harris video was an interesting insight into the
early days of Rotary and the old footage was both interesting and ente rtaining.

There is no doubt that the highlight of the night was the wine tasting / judging, and I'd
once more like to thank Michael Griscti was supplying the wine. The event has set a
standard that we will be striving to match at each Member's night thr oughout the year,
so if anyone has any ideas that they would like to suggest for future Members’ nights
talk to me or someone from the Board and we will work with them.

On Monday we can look forward to an interesting presentation from Claire Thompson
(our Club sponsored representative on the outgoing GSE Team) and Mark Wallace
(GSE Team Leader). Mark and Claire will be reporting back on their adventures and
experiences whilst on the Group Study Exchange in England. Anyone who followed
their Facebook page during their trip will know that they have a myriad of highlights to
talk about and photos to share. If any of you would like to invite your partners along
for the night, they would (as always) be more than welcome and this seems like it may
be a presentation that everyone would enjoy. If your partners are planning to attend,
would you please let me know (in Alan’s absence) so that we can warn the Tavern to
expect higher numbers than usual.

Looking forward to seeing you all there.

Warm regards,

President Bobby Redman

Rotary Showcase and Membership Drive

On the 21st July, The Rotary Clubs of The Hills -
Kellyville, Norwest Sunrise and W inston Hills
combined forces to showcase some of the work in
which the local Rotary Clubs are involved, at the
Oakhill College 2012 Gala Day. The event is held
annually and the Rotary Display Stand was one of
the many attractions of the day.

Although the school reported that numbers were
down this year, the Rotaria ns who helped out on the
day were extremely satisfied with the level of
interest shown by visitors to the Rotary stand. It
was a great opportunity to talk about the work of

driving force behind the event.

Weekly Toast - Overseas Club

This week we would like to toast the Rotary
Club of London – District 1130.

The Rotary Club of London, Club No. 50 in
Rotary International, is the premier Rotary Club
in Britain, being the first to have been chartered
outside North America and the club is One
Hundred Years young and Counting.

The Rotary Club of London
The Rotary Club of London, Club No. 50 in Rotary International, is the premier Rotary Club
in Britain, being the first to have been chartered outside North America.

London is one of four Clubs in Britain and Ireland to
be founded in 1911 - the others being Dublin (who
actually were the first to convene a meeting but took
longer to be chartered), Manchester and Belfast.
The current Rotary year (2011-2012) is our
centenary year, and therefore also the centenary of
Rotary in Europe.

The London Club is unique in that it covers the
whole of the capital, yet is only one of 70 in District our member Neville Shulman
1130 (Rotary in London), which represents all CBE run with the Olympic Torch
Rotary Clubs in the Greater London region. The on Monday 23 July
Club maintains close relations with the District, and
with other Clubs in the District. Our current Hon. Secretary, Clive Amos, is a past district
governor.


The London Club combines experience with youthful enterprise. Our present No. 1
Member, Albert Kunz, was inducted in 1952, and around 20 new Members are currently
joining the Club each year. Our membership includes politicians from all major parties,
numerous Ambassadors and High Commissioners, religious leaders from various faiths,
and leading figures from the arts, industry, commerce and the professions.

The Rotary Club of London is a Member of the R5 Group of European Capital City Clubs
alongside The Hague, Brussels, Paris and Luxembourg.

The Club plays an active part in supporting the object of Rotary, which is to encourage and
foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage
and foster:

1. the development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;

2. high ethical standards in business and professions, the recognition of the worthiness of
all useful occupations, and the dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to
serve society;

3. the application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business, and
community life; and

4. the advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world
fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.

Although the Club draws its membership from the whole of the capital, its constitutional
home territory is the City of London and Holborn, and the Club maintains close relations
with the worlds of finance and the law. As a Member of the Leonardo Association of
European Rotary Clubs which supports rising stars in the worlds of science, arts and crafts,
the London Club hosted the 2005 ceremony at the historic Goldsmiths Hall in the City of
London when the annual Leonardo da Vinci Prize was awarded to Danish silversmith Sidsel
Dorph-Jensen, and held a gala dinner in the Great Hall at Lincoln’s Inn.

The London Club is very involved with community projects, including support for Oak Lodge
School for profoundly deaf children in Balham; St George’s School in West London; and
children’s hospices and hospitals in the region.

Because of its international membership and frequent visits by Rotarians from all over the
world, the London Club has a particular focus on international charity projects and on
promoting international dialogue and understanding.
Two events in the Club’s annual fundraising calendar,
the Charity Golf Day and the International Gala Dinner,
deliver five-figure support for children’s charities in Asia,
Africa and elsewhere.

Active Club Member Sir Sigmund Sternberg, famed for
his unstinting efforts to build bridges between
Christianity, Judaism and Islam, was included alongside
Sir Winston Churchill and President John F. Kennedy in
Rotary International’s Centennial List of 100 noted
Paul Winner captures Martin Gudde
Rotarians.

Rotary Foundation Thought for the Week
Celebrating our Foundation

Through Rotary, with the help of our Foundation, we can take on
challenges that no one else has the ability or the inclination or the
organizational resources to tackle. We in Rotary share what we
have in a way that no one else does — with love, with kindness,
and with simple generosity.‖ — 2004-05 RI President Glenn E. Estess Sr.

Good Picture
Club Calendar A guy is sitting at home alone when he hears
a knock on the front door. When he opens the
door, he encounters two sheriff's deputies,
one of whom asks if he is married and, if so,
whether the deputy can see a picture of the
wife.

The guy says "sure " and shows him a picture
of his wife.

The deputy looks carefully at the picture and
then gravely says, "I'm sorry sir, but it looks
like your wife's been hit by a truck."

Note: Apologies must be in to PP Graeme The guy says, "I know, but she has a great
Rohan by 12pm on Mondays so numbers personality, is an excellent cook, and lets me
can be confirmed for dinner. play golf whenever I want to!"
