July 2015
The year of Being a Gift to the World is well underway !
Alison and I would like to thank all of you that attended the District Changeover and gave us such a positive and warm welcome to our forthcoming duties. We feel energised by the support that we are receiving from so many people in this, our great District.
My main message to all Rotarians is ENJOY ROTARY ! There are so many positive things happening around the District with so many more planned. We all have so much of which to be proud within our District. Recently the 2015 RYLA program was successfully delivered by a team of dedicated and hardworking folk. There are Primary School Speech Contests happening right across the District.
In the coming Months there will be a series of Seminars being organised to enable ALL Rotarians to gain a better understanding of some of the Rotary programs on offer. We kick off with what looks like being a vibrant Membership Seminar on July 31st. On August 21st The Foundation Seminar will be held. This year we are reverting to a single Foundation Seminar rather than regional events. Further details will be in this issue of Highlights. Please make every effort to attend these events.
Alison and I look forward to catching up with as many of you as we can in the coming Months as we undertake our program of Club Visits. So until then,
CHEERS

National Rotary Success Conference and Youth Summit
Over the last two years Rotarians have been asking when we were we going to have another National Rotary Success Conference. It is going to happen this September! I would urge you to register now for what I am sure will be a great conference.
I would like to invite all Rotarians to the 2015 Rotary Success Conference and Youth Summit which will be held at the Hellenic Club, Canberra on 5- 6 September 2015. This conference is an affordable conference as the price of $120 per person covers, morning teas, lunch, afternoon tea and the Saturday night dinner. It will commence at 8.30am on the Saturday morning and conclude at 12.30pm on the Sunday.
All attendees will be able to have input into the conference breakout sessions over the weekend. It will be a conference that everyone will get something out of.
Who should be attending? All Rotary Leaders, Presidents and Presidents Elect, PR Chairs, Membership Chairs and Future Rotary Leaders and Rotarians who want to be involved in the continuing success of Rotary in Australia. At this conference you will be able to participate in breakout sessions on various topics such as Membership Retention, Membership Recruitment and Extension, Diversity in Rotary, Flexibility and Innovative Clubs in the Future, Leadership, Public Image and Media, and more. As well, people will find out what has been successful for some clubs in growing and getting stronger. Social media will also be explored with Rotary Public Image Coordinator Wendy Gaborit leading the discussion. Wendy has a great grasp on social media and how it can work for clubs and getting engaged with the local community.
There will be presentations about a number of new innovative ideas on a wide range of topics, all practical ideas that you can use in your club.
The program will consist of mainly breakout groups enabling everyone to be able to participate and interact over the weekend in a practical, worthwhile and meaningful way.
Coupled with the Rotary Success Conference this year will be a Youth Summit for people under 40 years of age. The Youth Summit will be an opportunity for people to put forward ideas and practical thoughts on how Rotary clubs can interact with younger people ... how and why Rotary clubs need to become more involved with Rotaract and Interact.
This Conference will be focussing on the future. We are positive that every Rotarian will gain practical knowledge and new ideas to take back to their Clubs and Districts from this Conference. You will meet Rotarians from across Australia and be able to share with them your ideas and hear their ideas; it will be a great experience for everyone.

Joint Family Day between Rotary and Monash Childrens Hospital
On November 22nd 2015 a joint family fun day will be held between Rotary and the Monash Children's. It is hoped that this will be an annual events.
The event will be held at Jells Park Glen Waverley between 10AM and 4PM.
To be a success we would like your help please.
The day will have children's races plus stalls. What we need from you is:
· Man power to help marshal and other duties
· Clubs to provide stalls for either food or activities i.e. face painting etc (clubs can use this as a fundraiser in itself as the agreement is half of the net profit to Rotary and half to Monash Children's)
· And sponsorship of the differing events i.e. cover the cost of the participant ribbons / certificates.
This promises to be a big day and hopefully a signature event for our district. From the publicity and presence there is the prospect of new members.
If you are able to support this wonderful event, please contact Claire Button on claireb@bigpond.net.au
