Governor’s Message Posted by Peter Tang on Feb 09, 2012
Greetings my fellow Rotarians
World Understanding Month
The month of February is special in the Rotary calendar since it is designated World
Understanding Month. The month also includes the anniversary of the first meeting of
Rotary held on 23 February 1905, now designated World Understanding and Peace
Day.
Programs GSE, YE, Scholarships, (Peace and ambassadorial), Friendship exchanges, volunteers
through RAWCS.
In designating World Understanding Month, the Rotary International board asks all Rotary clubs to
plan programs for their weekly meetings and undertake special activities to
emphasise “understanding and goodwill as essential for world peace”.
To observe this designated month, your club may arrange international speakers, invite Youth
Exchange students and international scholars from schools and universities to club meetings, plan
programs featuring former Group Study Exchange team members, arrange discussions on global
issues, present entertainment with an international cultural or artistic theme, and schedule other
programs with an international emphasis.
Many clubs take the opportunity to launch an international community service activity or make contact
with a Rotary club in another country. It is a good month to initiate a Rotary Friendship Exchange, a 3-
H project or encourage support for Polio-Plus and other Rotary Foundation programs.
World Understanding Month is a chance for every club to pause, plan and promote the Fourth Avenue
of Service - Rotary’s continued quest for goodwill, peace and understanding among people of the
world.
Rotary’s 107th Anniversary is celebrated on 23 February and that day is designated as “World
Understanding and Peace Day”. It is a special day to focus on our Objective of building of peace and
Goodwill around the globe.
At district level we have, on 23 February, the first of our three showings of the movie “The Best Exotic
Marigold Hotel” will be at Castle Towers. As well as raising money for the Polio eradication campaign, the film promises to be a hoot! It will be a great night out for us, our families, and friends. Please make up a party and make your bookings as soon as possible. For those that cannot make the 23rd due to other commitments, the other three showings in the district will be on Saturday 25
February at the Macquarie Centre, and on Sunday 26 February – in the morning at the Mandarin
Centre in Chatswood and in the early evening at the Avoca Beach Theatre. Further details are in the body of this newsletter and you can also go online for the details.
Australia Day Honours
Before we leave January too far behind, we must congratulate our members who were honoured on
Australia Day. • Murray Block and his late wife Bridget of Mosman club received the Medal of the Order of Australia
(OAM) for services to the community of Mosman.
• David Blackwell, of Lindfield club, received the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for services to
the accountancy Profession and to the community.
• Emile Jansen, of Pittwater club, received the Australia Citizen Community award for his
extraordinary pro bono services rendered to support the Pittwater Rotary Palliative Care project to
extend and modernise the facilities at the Mona Vale hospital.
• PDG Bruce Allen, from Castle Hill club was named 2012 Senior Citizen of the Year on Australia
Day by the Parramatta City.
Please join me in congratulating these Rotarians who have been honoured for exemplifying service
above self.
Register for the District Conference
And, of course I cannot write a comment without once more asking you to register promptly for our
District Conference where we will be Going for Gold at the Gong. Registrations are coming in, but we can certainly accommodate many more as we hope, given the proximity of Wollongong, to have a
very high attendance. Lots of information, lots of fun, lots of Rotary and lots of fellowship and networking. A MUST for newer Rotarians. Only five weeks away now, so time to make your commitment to a wonderful and inspiring weekend. Register here
I wish you all a wonderful World Understanding Month and look forward to seeing your name on the
list of Conference delegates in the very near future.
Kind regards

News from Rotary International Posted by Les Walsh on Feb 01, 2012
Read the President's February message about sharing Rotary's message. Include the message in
your club or district's newsletter and website.
"For many of us, Rotary is our only way to change the world. As individuals, there is little we can do
on our own, but when we join with our fellow Rotarians, we do make a difference."

Rotary receives about 2.5 million United airline miles for humanitarian projects
Thank you to all those at United for their generosity and the opportunity to participate in United's 10
Million Charity Miles Giveaway. And thank you to everyone who voted for us. We couldn't have done it without your participation and persistence.
For the miles giveaway, we officially came in second place and will receive 2,488,070 charity miles
from United. Rotarians will use the miles for humanitarian missions, such as transporting sick
children to hospitals.
Although the giveaway wasn't announced in advance, Rotarians and friends of Rotary quickly and
enthusiastically got the word out through social media, and we went from 18th place to second
place. This enabled us to receive a larger portion of the 10 million airline miles that United was donating. In addition, we congratulate the Shriners, who took first place.

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel - now 4 screenings Posted by Les Walsh on Feb 01, 2012
These screenings are fundraisers and will be conducted in Zones following 23
February - the release date for the movie THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL.
The movie tells the story of a group of misfit British pensioners who are enticed to
retire to a fabulous hotel in Jaipur, India, where they are promised to live a life of
luxury for a bargain price. Upon their arrival, they are dismayed to find that restoration of the once elegant Marigold Hotel has stalled. There is water…sometimes. And electricity…sometimes. The hotel’s eager manager, a young
Indian entrepreneur, is quick to tell them that his ambitious renovation is going to
turn the place around. Surprisingly, the retirees find themselves settling into this strange new world and creating bonds with each other. What their new life lacks in luxury they come to find is plentiful in adventure, stunning beauty, peace and love.
This will be a fun event - screening on the Central Coast, The Hills, in the Northern Districts at
Macquarie, & on the North Shore at Chatswood.
