Australian Rotary Health Spring Wine Offer
Thank you for supporting the Australian Rotary Health Spring Wine Offer over the last few years.    
 
The money we raise from this event goes to Research into Mental Illness in Australia.
 
In August 2022 at a Symposium in Sydney, Australian Rotary Health announced its re-defined focus area of Mental Health Research to between the ages of 0 – 12.   That’s right,  0 – 12.
 
Australian Rotary Health Needs your support.
 
The District Australian Rotary Health Committee has again released a fundraising Wine Offer to support this valuable Research into Mental Illness.
 
As you can see, we have an extensive list of quality branded wines that most likely you already purchase from an outlet, but through our order, the prices are heavily reduced. 
 
How does your purchase benefit Australian Rotary Health?   -   Not only do you buy at reduced prices, but our wine merchant makes a donation to Australian Rotary Health of $36 per dozen based on sales of labelled wines and $24 per dozen based on sales of un-labelled wines through this offer.
 
 
 
With Christmas not that far away now, this is an ideal time to make your orders.   
 
 
The orders will close on Tuesday 31st  October 2023 so please ensure that the completed orders are returned to me by email to john@jcampbell.com.au by that date.    We expect that your orders will be available for pick-up on Monday 13th  November 2023.
 
I trust that you will see the value of this offer and support this campaign.   
 
 
 
 
 
Regards

Guests will include members past and present from around Australia and the world. Everyone is invited to come and hear about the story of Rotary in South Australia.

The event will be held 100 years to the day from when the first Rotary Club in South Australia, the Rotary Club of Adelaide was officially chartered by Rotary International on 4 February 1924. This was the start of the Rotary movement in South Australia.

Today there are around 2,200 Rotary, Rotaract and Interact members in over 90 Clubs across South Australia and District 9510.

 What you can expect

  • Amazing guests and speakers
  • Dynamic entertainment
  • Magnificent food
  • Fabulous company
  • A Rotary experience on a grand scale

Please register by Sunday 28 January 2024. Unfortunately no late bookings will be accepted.

Rotary Townsville raffle

Gladstone Sunrise Rotary urgently need help from their fellow Rotarians, Australia wide.

The raffle closes in less than 4 weeks.

Townsville Rotary helped Gladstone Rotary set up a 50/50 raffle the same as ours, aiming to raise $45k for their local community. Due to the difficulties of starting a raffle like this, and the current ecomonic climate, they are struggling to sell enough tickets to simply break even.

The terms of the raffle are the tickets cost just $50 each and the winner receives $50,000 cash (tax free), with only 2000 tickets available. They also have a book buyers prize of $500 for one lucky buyer who purchases 5 tickets. 

We need as many rotarians as possible, Australia wide, to help them out. They have taken the risk and guaranteed the $50K first prize from their club funds. Please help them and at the same time you may win $50K for Christmas.

Townsville Rotary has some members buying tickets for themselves to help them out. As a club we have members chipping in to buy some tickets that are owned by our club so if one of these tickets win the $50k will go toward our charity work. 

You will never have a better chance to win $50k cash, while at the same time helping out fellow Rotarians.

You can buy your tickets on their Commwealth Bank secure website here, or just scan the QR code below to start your purchase.

Rotary International Youth Exchange
Abby O'Brien has been proposed by our Club and accepted!
 
She will be going to Italy in January 2024 for 12 months.
 
 
A briefing, the first of two, was held on Sunday 24 September at Charles Campbell College. This was for Outbound students, their parents, and for sponsoring Clubs.
Ros attended as Abby's Counsellor, and met up with her parents.
 
A number of presentations were given, which included:
 
  • Child protection requirements and standards of Rotary International
  • travel arrangements
  • advice on emotional wellbeing, home sickness etc
  • the structure of the international exchange program
Both students and parents alike are very excited at the exchange opportunity.
 
Parents were encouraged to liaise with their sponsoring Rotary Club.
