Playground to Philippines Project – Investigation Report next week by Robin
Attended the Rotary Club of Austin Westlake meeting on Tuesday.
It was a great meeting, with money raised for Ronald McDonald House by handing around "the boot" to fill with money, and a talk from Ronald McDonald House charities.
They also had two members recieve Paul Harris Fellowships, one +2 and one an incredible Paul Harris +6!
I've attached a photo of myself with current President Diane Hern, and of the speaker from Ronald McDonald House
I haven’t sent an update in a while, life’s been pretty boring to be honest, school, home, wash and repeat.
But yesterday I went horseback riding! It was so much fun, even if I was a little nervous in the beginning. My horses name was Mona and she was very good, except she kept trying to eat the grass and mushrooms.
Next week with my school I am going to Cattolica! A little town on the Venice side of Italy.
We are doing a cyberbullying conference.
How’s everything at the club going?
I imagine with the Christmas pageant yesterday you would all be getting ready for Christmas! How exciting!
Established in 1996 by Planet Ark, is held every year during the second week of November
(11th to the 17th November 2024).
Reducing our waste not only keeps valuable materials out of landfill it also benefits the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Thinking about our waste provides some valuable insight into how the recycling and resource management industry works in conjunction to your efforts.

promote education on the waste hierarchy reduce, reuse, recycle to minimise strain on finite resources
Why do we need National Recycling Week?
Recycling can be confusing, especially since China’s effective ban on recycling imports and media coverage about the “waste crisis”. To ensure recycling is sustainable in Australia, Planet Ark aims to increase trust in recycling and help Australians recycle correctly.
Engaging Australians on the importance of closing the recycling loop by buying products made with recycled content is also key to creating a sustainable future.
We need to rethink our waste and see it as a resource that can be turned into new products.
By keeping these materials in circulation for as long as possible, this benefits the environment by reducing the extraction of virgin materials for new products, as well as the water and energy it takes to make them.
Please find below a link to share with your club for the survey, and/or you can print the QR code and members can fill it out on their phone at your next meeting and/or print the attachment for members to complete.
I recommend you email the link to all members of your clubs so that anyone who isn't at your next meeting also get the opportunity to respond.
As part of Creating Tomorrow Rotary and the Regionalisation Project (visit www.creatingtomorrowrotary.org) and on behalf of the Presidents from Community Group 4 we are seeking your ideas to be considered as a group project.
Ideally, the objectives of the project will: 1. Make a difference to our Group 4 communities. 2. Promote Rotary across our community. 3. Support clubs to engage members. 4. Build a stronger and unified Rotary brand. 5. Encourage partnership, and 6. Attract new members and volunteers.
There have been some ideas suggested such as each club donating a support dog to a local school in their area, a giant car boot sale, a health and wellbeing fair, muster of BBQ trailers. Before we agree on a project, we want to be sure that every club member has had the opportunity to submit their idea.
Think about Rotary's Seven Areas of Focus and a project that will deliver on the six objectives above. Visit www.rotary.org/en/our-causes for more information.
The Group 4 Community Group will consider all suggestions on Friday 15 November so be sure to make your submission by then.
If you have any questions about this survey, please contact me.
Let me know if you have any questions. I will bring the survey results along on Friday 15th Nov
The QR code will take you to our website! You will see latest stories and photos from member activities.
