A great opportunity for everyone to let their hair down a little with this week’s

meeting, interspersed with a few good Rotary reminders from Assistant

Governor Therese McKenney. Therese

spends an inordinate amount of time traipsing across the Westgate Bridge

to fulfil her duties as Assistant Governor for the Eastside Cluster –

Balwyn, Balwyn North, Canterbury,

Kew and ourselves. Therese is a Member of the Rotary Club of Altona

and fulfilling her second stint as Assistant Governor. Her presentation

outlined the true community spirit that

is in Rotarians.

Art Show Chairman Geoff Heath, who

together with his hard working Committee of Rotarians and co-opted

partners, has coordinated a Show worthy of our 50th Anniversary

celebrations and the tradition Thank

God It’s Over (TGIO) event. Great to see so many partners in attendance.

The awards to Richard O’Brien, Ron Lear, Les Brown, Bern Connell and

Josie Tramonte reflected the individual contributions of some

members but didn’t diminish those of

others, and were awarded with good humour. Geoff Day has worked

hundreds of hours in his additional role as Treasurer of the Art Show and has

all but finalised a figure in the region

of a $103,000 profit. The result should be no impediment to other fund-

raising events throughout the coming year and the consideration of

substantive hand-on work that can be harnessed from the membership on

other projects.

Josie Tramonte’s contribution by

organizing the karaoke is to be commended. Not sure she unearthed

a great deal of talent but the

performance contributed to a fine finale for TGIO.

It is always good to welcome international Rotarians and we were

honoured by a visit from PP Lim Chee Dean from the Rotary Club of in

Luyang, Malaysia and his son who is studying civil engineering at

Swinburne, Lim Fong Lok

Don’t forget “Pyjamas for Kids” for Sue

Gray’s orphanage. Donations can be bought to next week’s meeting. Sales

of our stocks from Artwine are

dwindling let’s try and make the balance sheet positive for this item in

the Art Show Committee’s budget, sales can be arranged through Peter

Iannazzo.

Don’t forget our District Governor will

be visiting next week to keep us all abreast of District 9800’s foci for the

year.

I was delighted to induct Georgia Underwood as the newest member of

our club. Georgia’s previous membership in a West Australian Club

will be a great benefit.

Thought for the Week - Never be

satisfied with what you achieve because it all pales into comparison

with what you (we) are capable of in

the future.

Have a good week in Rotary and “Be a

Gift to the World”.

PRESIDENT ANNIE’S DIARY

VOLUME 59 ISSUE 06 July 29 BE A GIFT TO THE WORLD

GUIDING PRINCIPLES OF ROTARY

These principles have been developed

over the years to provide Rotarians with a strong, common purpose and

direction. They serve as a foundation for our relationships with each other

and the action we take in the world.

OBJECT OF ROTARY The Object of Rotary is to encourage

and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in

particular, to encourage and foster: FIRST: The development of

acquaintance as an opportunity for

service; SECOND: High ethical standards in

business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all

useful occupations; and the dignifying

of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society;

THIRD: The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal,

business, and community life; FOURTH: The advancement of

international understanding, goodwill,

and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons

united in the ideal of service.

THE FOUR-WAY TEST

The Four-Way Test is a nonpartisan and nonsectarian ethical guide for

Rotarians to use for their personal and professional relationships. The test has

been translated into more than 100

languages, and Rotarians recite it at club meetings:

OF THE THINGS WE THINK, SAY OR DO IS IT THE TRUTH? IS IT FAIRTO ALL CONCERNED? WILL IT BUILD GOODWILL AND BETTER FRIENDSHIP? WILL IT BE BENEFICIALTO ALL CONCERNED?

AVENUES OF SERVICE

We channel our commitment to service

at home and abroad through five Avenues of Service, which are the

foundation of club activity. Club Service focuses on making clubs

strong. A thriving club is anchored by strong relationships and an active

membership development plan.

Vocational Service calls on every Rotarian to work with integrity and

contribute their expertise to the problems and needs of society. Learn

more in An Introduction to Vocational

Service and the Code of Conduct. Community Service encourages every

Rotarian to find ways to improve the

quality of life for people in their

communities and to serve the public interest. Learn more in Communities in

Action: A Guide to Effective Projectsand this Community Service

presentation (PPT).

International Service exemplifies our global reach in promoting peace and

understanding. We support this service avenue by sponsoring or volunteering

on international projects, seeking partners abroad, and more.

Youth Service recognizes the

importance of empowering youth and young professionals through

leadership development programs such as Rotaract, Interact, Rotary Youth

Leadership Awards, and Rotary Youth

Exchange.

GIVE NOW We have identified specific causes to

target to maximize our local and global impact. At the same time, we

understand that each community has

its own unique needs and concerns. , we help cluAREAS OF FOCUS

Through global grants and other resourcesbs focus their service efforts

in the following areas.

PROMOTING PEACE

Today, 42 million people are displaced by armed conflict or persecution.

Through our partnerships with several

leading universities, Rotary Peace Fellows develop the skills to

strengthen peace efforts, train local leaders to prevent and mediate

conflict, and support long-term peace building in areas affected by conflict.

We provide up to 100 peace

fellowships per year at Rotary Peace Centers.

Learn how Rotary projects address the structural causes of conflict

FIGHTING DISEASE More than 100 million people are

pushed into poverty each year because of medical costs. We aim to improve

and expand access to low-cost and free health care in underdeveloped

areas. Our members educate and

mobilize communities to help prevent the spread of major diseases such as

polio, HIV/AIDS, and malaria. Many of our projects ensure that medical

training facilities are located where the

workforce lives. See how Rotary projects provide low-

cost health care

PROVIDING CLEAN WATER

More than 2.5 billion people lack access to adequate sanitation facilities.

At least 3,000 children die each day from diarrheal diseases caused by

unsafe water. Our projects give

communities the ability to develop and maintain sustainable water and

sanitation systems and support studies related to water and sanitation.

See how Rotary is building sustainable clean water and sanitation facilities

SAVING MOTHERS AND CHILDREN

At least 7 million children under the age of five die each year due to

malnutrition, poor health care, and

inadequate sanitation. To help reduce this rate, we provide immunizations

and antibiotics to babies, improve access to essential medical services,

and support trained health care providers for mothers and their

children. Our projects ensure

sustainability by empowering the local community to take ownership of health

care training programs. Watch how Rotary helps bring health

care to mothers and newborns in rural

Haiti

SUPPORTING EDUCATION Sixty-seven million children worldwide

have no access to education and more

than 775 million people over the age of 15 are illiterate. Our goal is to

strengthen the capacity of communities to support basic

education and literacy, reduce gender disparity in education, and increase

adult literacy.

Watch how a Rotary grant helps bring tablet technology to students in Fiji

GROWING LOCAL ECONOMIES

Nearly 1.4 billion employed people live

on less than $1.25 a day. We carry out service projects that enhance

economic and community development and develop opportunities for decent

and productive work for young and old. We also help strengthen local

entrepreneurs and community leaders,

particularly women, in impoverished communities.

20 GREAT USES FOR VINEGAR

White distilled and apple cider vinegar

are all you need to effectively clean and tidy your home! Vinegar is known

as an effective household cleanser that can be used to remove mold,

bacteria and germs due to its high

THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF CURCUMIN

Some of us are only finding out now

what the Asian Indians, the American Indians and the Chinese knew a long

time ago - that one of the most amazing

medicinal herbs is

no rare plant or an artificially

created compound. One

of the most effective natural

ingredients is actually a common herb

- the turmeric. Or, more precisely, its active

ingredient - Curcumin. The percentage of Curcumin is very low in the

Turmeric plant, and so it needs to be

either digested for a very long time, or one can take curcumin pills, which

hold a high percentage of Curcumin, to treat a variety of problems.

The turmeric is a shrub with large and wide leaves that envelope it and hide

the flowers in its center. It mainly

grows in south-east Asia, where it has been used as a cooking and medicinal

herb for thousands of years. It is the herb that gives the traditional Indian

dish, the Curry, its typical yellow color

and strong taste. The Curcumin hides many medicinal

properties behind its familiar exterior - It strengthens the immune system,

delays (and may even prevent)

Alzheimer's Disease, prevents neuron death, strengthens the cells, it is an

antioxidant and an anti-inflammatory, it helps keep sugar levels, helps the

digestive system, reduces the risk of stroke and heart disease and most

importantly - Is a great ally in the war

against cancer, delaying its spread and stabilizing patient condition.

Only recently, after a sequence of successful experiments, has modern

science discovered the full potential of

Curcumin. It started in 2005 with a research into

Alzheimer's disease, where it was found that taking Curcumin prevented

the outbreak of Multiple sclerosis and cystic fibrosis in mice. This

interested the scientific community,

and other research was conducted, with astonishing results: For many

patients, the curcumin delayed the onset of cancer cells and even

stabilized the condition of patients with

aggressive cancer cells. In the last 7 years, over 20 different

experiments were made, researching

the influence of Curcumin, and the

scientific world was flabbergasted: Delays and stabilizes the spread of

cancerCurcumin slows the spread of cancer cells by denying their

replication process and strengthening

the protection of cell membranes. Strong antioxidant effects Curcumin,

because of the shape of its molecule, is very effective in preventing the

oxidation processes and activity of free radicals in the body

(Antioxidant), and thus slows the

damage to our body cells and as a consequence - slows the aging of skin

cells. Increases the effectiveness of

chemotherapy Curcumin is

especially effective in combination with chemotherapy, encouraging

the process and increasing its efficiency.

Delays and reduces the chance of deterioration of the brain in

adultsCurcumin helps the brain

activity of older people, and may slow the cognitive decline by up to 49%.

Even the occasional consumption of curry, the popular Indian dish that

contains curcumin, reduces the risk of

mental decline by up to 38% (American Journal of Epidemiology).

Anti-inflammatory and fights arthritisCurcumin, when given as an

essence by injection, fights

inflammatory diseases and in fact is an anti-inflammatory in general,

particularly effective in aiding the body in the fight against arthritis. Studies

have shown that cartilage destruction in mice that were given the extract

was reduced by 66%, and bone

destruction in patients who received the extract was reduced by 57%.

Helps maintain a healthy heart and helps a sick heart return to

actionResearchers in Canada found out

that curcumin also reduces the risk of heart failure, as it helps the heart to

return to normal and reduces the spread of scar tissue.

Anti-diabetic activity and reduces the risk of diseaseIn 2008 it was

discovered that Curcumin also

encourages the activity of liver enzymes that convert glucose

carbohydrates, and creates anti-inflammatory activity that is required

by people with a high fat content. The

researchers suggest that consumption of small doses of curcumin daily is a

great natural booster to traditional

treatment, and significantly lowers the

risk of diabetes in people who are overweight.

Fights cell death and the death of brain cells killed by Alzheimer's

diseaseCurcumin may protect against

Alzheimer's disease, and inhibits and prevents cell death caused by the

disease. In India, where curry with curcumin is eaten regularly,

Alzheimer's disease is much rarer than in other countries.

Increases and strengthens the immune

systemIn 2009 researchers at the University of Michigan found that

curcumin strengthens our cell membranes and

thus increases the

resistance against foreign infections

entering the body. Perhaps this is one

reason why curcumin fights

cancer so well.

Reduces the risk of stroke, strengthens the body's blood vessels and lowers

blood pressureResearchers realized that curcumin slows the body's blood

clotting activity, which causes a

decreased risk of blood clots and strokes. Also, since curcumin enhances

the blood cells, contributes to the strength of a body's blood vessels,

lowers blood cholesterol concentration

and fight infections, it actually lowers blood pressure.

Helps in digestion and absorption of nutrientsCurcumin fights harmful

bacteria and thus facilitates digestion and reduces the risk of bacterial

infection. Curcumin also reduces the

accumulation of gas in the intestines, thereby preventing abdominal pain

and swelling. How to take it:The best way to

consume curcumin is by taking

curcumin capsules containing a high concentration of the active ingredient

in turmeric, the curcumin. You can find those in most health shops.

When eaten, most of the curcumin gets destroyed by the stomach acid.

Taking concentrated pills negates that

effect and allows the body to absorb a significant amount of curcumin by

letting the compound go through the digestive tract and reach the

bloodstream and from there to all

parts of the body, where the curcumin does its work to improve our health.

Wow .. What a day. I was going to leave next email till we were ready to leave Thailand, but

today warrants an entry to itself. Patrick had done an impressive

amount of research and did not want

the distractions of a tour group so we

hired a driver for the day and headed

off at 8 am. Good decision Patrick!

We had already been to the cemetery and the War Memorial in Kanchanaburi

the day before and left flowers there.

First stop was the Hellfire Pass Museum, very moving, before walking

the track. The magnitude of the task

becomes apparent as you walk with an audio guide with commentary from

returned soldiers outlining what happened and how they coped

through excruciating brutality. The audio brings home the horrors of what

they endured. It is brilliantly done.

The Australian and Thai Governments have undertaken this as a joint

effort. It is truly meaningful.

100,000 people died.. Australians, Brits, Netherlanders and Asians

through forced contract labour. The concept had originally been scrapped

because it was estimated to need 6 years to. build, the terrain was

considered impossible and adequate

maintenance due to jungle growth even once built would have been

unachievable ... And yet with starvation rations, no real equipment,

debilitating disease and horrendous

death tolls, they built it in 15 months.

It was hot and humid and the mozzies

were in full force. .. And we had aeroguard, no monsoonal rain, were

well fed and no work to do and an air

conditioned car to pick us up at the end. It wasn't easy.. And thoughts of

what walking the Kokoda Trail must be like are beyond me.

Next it was to the Weary Dunlop Peace

Park and Museum. We had this to

ourselves and it was quite a serene place. Only us and the

mosquitoes. This museum is simple, very personal and focuses on Weary

Dunlop and various other medics and

their efforts to keep men alive against appalling odds. It included replicas of

equipment they fashioned out of

necessity; the operating table with

home made anaesthetic device was ingenious.

What we did not know was that

Weary and others returned to this area on various occasions and sustained

strong friendships with the locals. I

had not realised that they along with locals also set up a Scholarship

program to send Thai surgeons to Australia for further training, and that

this still exists today.

I also had not known that when Weary

Dunlop died, his ashes were returned

here for a Thai style funeral where they were sent down stream in a

longboat filled with flowers. Some were also scattered at Hellfire Pass.

Last port of call was Tham Krasae

viaduct, the rail line which clings to the

cliff for support and here you can walk the remaining wooden bridge and

visit natural sandstone cave which medics used as a POW hospital

base. Patrick had researched it all so

well and it was way beyond the normal tours so if anyone comes this way, he

has all the info.

It was then home for a quiet beer and out for dinner. Makes us appreciate

the life we have.

BURMA RAILWAY AND HELLFIRE PASS

Gary C.K. Huang, 2014-15 RI president, recalls the words of Rotary founder Paul Harris at the closing

plenary session, Rotary International Convention, 9 June 2015, Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Attending a wedding for the first time,

a little girl whispered to her mother, 'Why is the bride dressed in white?''

The mother replied, 'Because white is the colour of happiness, and today is

the happiest day of her life.'

The child thought about this for a moment then said,

'So why is the groom wearing black?'

A little girl, dressed in her Sunday best, was running asfast as she could,

trying not to be late for Bible class.

As she ran she prayed, 'Dear Lord, please don't let me be late!

While she was running and praying, she tripped on a curb and fell, getting

her clothes dirty and tearing her

dress. She got up, brushed herself off, and

started running again! As she ran she once again began to

pray, 'Dear Lord, please don't let me be

late...But please don't shove me

either!'

Three boys are in the school yard bragging abouttheir fathers.

The first boy says, 'My Dad scribbles a

few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a poem, they give him $50.'

The second boy says, 'That's nothing. My Dad scribbles a few words on piece

of paper,he calls it a song, they give

him $100.'

The third boy says, 'I got you both beat. My Dad scribbles a few words on

a piece of paper, he calls it a sermon, and it takes eight people to collect all

the money!'

An elderly woman died last month.

Having never married, she requested no male pallbearers.

In her handwritten instructions for her memorial service, she wrote,

'They wouldn't take me out while I

was alive, I don't want them to take me out

when I'm dead.'

A police recruit was asked during the

exam, 'What would you do if you had to

arrest your own mother?' He answered, 'Call for backup.'

A Sunday School teacher asked her

class why

Joseph and Mary took Jesus with them to Jerusalem..

A small child replied, 'They couldn't get a baby-sitter.'

A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten

Commandmentswith her five and six year olds.

After explaining the commandment to

'Honour thy father and thy mother,'

she asked, 'Is there a commandment that teaches

us how to treat our brothers and sisters?'

Without missing a beat, one little boy

answered, 'Thou shall not kill.'

At Sunday School they were teaching how God created everything, including

human beings. Little Johnny seemed especially intent

when they told him how Eve was

created out of one of Adam's ribs. Later in the week his mother noticed

him lying down as though he were ill, and she said, 'Johnny, what is the

matter?'

Little Johnny responded, 'I have pain in my side. I think I'm going to have a

wife.'

You don't stop laughing because you grow old.

You grow old because you stop

laughing! Take heed and pass these along to

people who need a laugh. I thought you would enjoy this....times

are tough

right now...for all of us...so we need something to make the day

a happy place. “They” haven't found a way to tax you

for laughing yet.
