Our guest speaker will be me (Danny) I will give a short presentation and demonstration of "virtual reality and augmented reality"

 

We will also have our normal General Club meeting, this will give us an opportunity to discuss some if the very successful events that the Club has been involved in over the past few weeks many and the many upcoming events between now and Christmas.

 

Campbelltown Rotary is fast becoming the BBQ Sausage kings of the South West, once again thank you to the members who set up and cooked for the Council Staff Children’s party yesterday. I look forward to seeing all hands on deck for the Christmas Carols on the 7^th December at the Athletic Centre.
 

The next meeting in December will be the Club’s AGM at which time we need to elect a new board for 2020/2. In order to grow our club we need to consider how we approach the next few years. The current board needs to refresh as this will allow new ideas to flow. Young membership is the key to growth and we will have to look at how we engage with the local youth. We also have to find other ways of raising funds and not rely on BBQs.
 

The last of our social events was held last Wednesday at Ingleburn Bowling Club where once again Ingleburn Rotary proved too strong in our Annual clash. We should prevail in 2020 dues to our home advantage. Thank you to George for organising the event.
 

We will conclude our year with the Christmas party kindly hosted by Danny & Sherie.

1) The Calling and Purpose of an Annual General Meeting

An association’s constitution must specify the manner of calling an AGM and the manner in which notice of the AGM is given. If the Model constitution applies, members must be given at least 14 days’ notice of an AGM or 21 days’ notice if a special resolution is to be proposed. The statutory purpose of the AGM is the submission of the association’s financial statements (and if required, the auditor’s report) to the meeting.

If the Model constitution applies, the business of the AGM is to:

• confirm the minutes of the last AGM and of any special general meeting held since that meeting
• receive committee reports on activities of the association during the previous financial year
• elect or appoint office bearers and ordinary committee members
• receive and consider the association’s financial statements or reports required to be submitted to members under the Act

In addition the AGM should conduct any other business of which notice has been given to its members. For more details visit: https://www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/associations-and-co-operatives/associations/running-an-association/meetings

 

2) Rotary Newsflash! Nigeria reached the crucial polio milestone on 21st August 2019 which means that it’s possible for the entire World Health Organization (WHO) African region to be certified wild poliovirus-free next year. Dr. Tunji Funsho, chair of Rotary’s Nigeria National PolioPlus Committee, acknowledges the milestone but cautions Rotary members about celebrating too soon. He cites the challenge of making certain that routine immunizations reach every child in Nigeria. This is done by meticulously marking the outside of the house as the children are immunized. Time consuming but effective. For the full story : https://www.rotary.org/en/nigeria-reaches-crucial-polio-milestone

 

 

3) On Friday evening at the AGM and President's meeting,  David Hirsch from the Rotary Club of Sydney spoke about the Peace Building Project. Creating a peaceful society doesn’t just mean preventing conflict. It also requires building better economic and social conditions by improving education, economic opportunity, and gender equality. He reiterated Peace is more than just the absence of violence. Peace is ensuring there is justice for all. For those who missed the presentation, or would like to know more, the Rotary Positive Peace Academy offers a free online course which can strengthen your peacebuilding skills.

• Learn about peace and conflict issues and how to put Positive Peace into action in your community.
• Get access to the most up-to-date information from the Institute for Economics and Peace in the 2019 Global Peace Index and Positive Peace Index. Rotary is partnered with the Institute for Economics and Peace, an independent think tank and leader in the study of peace and conflict, to help address the root causes of conflict and create conditions that foster peace. For more details visit: https://www.rotary.org/en/institute-economics-and-peace
• Connect with other peace advocates and discuss how Rotary can apply Positive Peace locally, and share stories, projects, and resources.

You’ll also earn a certificate when you complete the course. Get started at rotarypositivepeace.org and discover the strategies and tools that can help you build and sustain peace.

7) Each year the Rotary Club of Darling Harbour holds a 'Pop-up Boutique' to raise money for Dress for Success. This NFP supports women who are about to enter, or re-enter the workforce after dis-enabling and/or debilitating life experiences. This support can be for apparel, mentoring and/or skills suitable for interviews and for employment. An event was held on Thursday 21st November at Customs House and has been acclaimed as ' a roaring success' with early indications of a net profit of about $22,000. While the profit is for Dress for Success, the Rotary Club also earns monies for their projects. Congratulations to all who volunteered to help make it a such a successful day.
