Club Bulletin - Issue 12 Monday 21 October 2013

I can't believe how quickly the weeks are flying by. It only seems like yesterday we were setting the amended date for the Battle of the Bands Quiz Night. In April it seemed so far away and yet here we are on the eve of the event. A tremendous effort to date by all members. I'll save all the thank you's until next week after the event. Tonight (Thursday) whilst allocating donations for the various prizes for the night Lloyd told us that we are close to capacity so with any late sales of tickets we should have a full house!! Don't forget to wear your club shirts for the Quiz Night so attendees can quickly recognise Rotarians if they have any queries. Thank you to all who wore their special hats to the meeting Monday night for Hat Day for Mental Health. We did not have a fine session, however members made a donation to Australian Mental Health. It was a busy meeting with the cheque presentation to Veils of Gold and our hats. We invited former member Michael Young along to the meeting and during the meeting we announced that the Club was honouring Michael with an Honorary Membership. Needless to say Michael was speechless - if you could imagine that! On 28 October we will be holding a Vocational meeting at the Racecourse Museum. For those of you who haven't had the opportunity to visit the Museum you are in for a treat. Lloyd and I had a quick look

when we met with Tim to organise the night. All I will say is you will be surprised at some of the memorabilia that is on display. On the night we will meet at the usual time and have pizza for dinner. Coming up very quickly is our next exciting morning at KBULG. We will again be taking cuttings and potting them for the plant nursery. Kim will be coming along to the meeting this week to be presented with the cheque for KBULG and to tell us a little more about the activities of KBULG. Don't forget to ask around for any young people, 18 to 25, who would like an opportunity to participate in the Rotary Youth Leadership Award. We have one nomination to date. with nominations closing early November time is fast running out. On Saturday 26 October the Club has been asked if we would provide a Sausage Sizzle at Harvey Norman for their carpark sale. Members will be asked if they can spare an hour or so during the day. We will discuss this fully on Monday night. It is planned to hold a Social Evening on 6 December with club members attending the Goldfields Repertory Club Christmas Show. This is a great fun night out. Let me know how many tickets you want as I will be purchasing them as soon as they go on sale. Tickets are always at a premium so we need to get in early. Enjoy the rest of your week while you Engage Rotary, Change Lives.

President Esther


In Rotary, October is the month we set aside to remind ourselves of our second Avenue of Service: vocational service. While some Rotarians call this the "forgotten" area of service, I would disagree: In fact, vocational service is the avenue through which we serve so often, we don't always recognize it as service.

Vocational service has its roots in the second object of Rotary, which encourages all Rotarians to hold high ethical standards in our business affairs and our professions, to recognize all useful occupations as worthy of respect, and to dignify work as an opportunity to serve society.

In short, the idea of vocational service is that our jobs, in themselves, are a way of serving society. Whether we are serving customers, teaching students, or treating patients, whether we're involved in commerce, research, the media, or any one of countless other fields – we take pride in doing our work with competence and integrity. Every occupation fills a need, and by doing our work well, we are contributing to our communities and our society.

The role of vocational service in the club is important, even if it isn't always prominent. By maintaining high standards individually, we earn a reputation that we share collectively. By valuing all occupations equally and by maintaining a classification system in our clubs, we ensure that our clubs reflect our communities – and can serve them well. A Rotary club of all lawyers wouldn't be capable of nearly as much as one that also had teachers, engineers, business owners, and dentists; in Rotary, our diversity is our strength. That diversity is an advantage not only to our service but to our members: It gives us all a valuable way to find the connections and opportunities that help us in our own careers.

That aspect of membership is as old as Rotary. Paul Harris himself wrote often of the business advantages of Rotary membership, believing, as I do, that being a Rotarian means a person holds a certain set of values that will make him or her a good person to do business with. Today, with the world more connected than ever, Rotary membership is an honor that we should be proud to share.

Meeting Make-U p One of the many benefits of Rotary Club membership is the luxury of being able to travel the world and never miss a weekly meeting. Club members are welcome and encouraged to visit clubs while traveling to make-up the meeting missed back home.

But Rotarians often ask what options exist if there is not a club in the area of travel, or if the member is home but an emergency causes him or her to miss a meeting.

One option is to attend a regular meeting of a local Rotaract or Interact club, Rotary Community Corps, or Rotary Fellowship. According to Article VIII, Section 1a of the Standard Rotary Club Constitution, attending one of these meetings counts as a make-up.

Another option is to spend time participating in an interactive activity on a Rotary e-club Web site. Rotary International has approved the request for a limited number of clubs to form with virtual or electronic locations. A visit to one of these e-clubs may satisfy a club member's make-up requirement. Please check with your club secretary and the e-club of interest to see if this online visit counts.

The following is a list of chartered Rotary e-clubs who are participating in the Rotary eClub Pilot Project.

The Rotary organisation has welcomed men and women for some time now, but for those Rotarian men who have female partners that wish to serve the community in some capacity but have not found Rotary to be the avenue for them, may wish to direct their partners to Inner Wheel.

International Inner Wheel is the administrative body that acts as the umbrella for the organisation worldwide. They are one of the largest women’s service voluntary organisations in the world and are active in more than 103 countries with 100,000 members in 3,895 Clubs.

Personal service is a top priority and members find many ways to carry out projects in their local communities. They provide help in hospitals, hospices, care homes, schools, entertain the elderly and lonely and offer help to needy children and the disabled.

Objectives of International Inner Wheel

International Inner Wheel has three key objectives:

To Promote True Friendship

To Encourage the Ideals of Personal Service

To Foster International Understanding

Any woman who shares the three central aims of International Inner Wheel can join the organisation

Members achieve these aims through Club events, which combine personal service, fund-raising, fellowship and fun, united by friendship and a common aim to serve the local community.

Members give practical support as well as financial help whenever there is a crisis, whether this occurs l o c a l l y , n a t i o n a l l y o r

internationally, for natural disasters or for people suffering in war-torn regions.

Mrs. Margarette Golding, a nurse, business woman and the wife of a Manchester Rotarian, started the Inner Wheel movement in 1924. Prior to 1924, wives of Rotarians in many cities and towns, prompted by a concern for public welfare, had been voluntarily, in the background, giving their time and energies to help in any service being undertaken by their menfolk.

On t h e 15 t h Nove mbe r 1923, twenty-seven Rotary wives, led by Mrs. Golding, met in a Cooling Room (because it was free of charge) at Herriot's Turkish Ba th s , S t Mary ' s S t ree t , Deansgate, Manchester; they discussed the possibility of forming an independent ladies' group run on Rotary lines. The objects of the Club, they explained, would be twofold, to foster friendship and to offer much more in the way of service.

A notable landmark in Inner Wheel history: In 2012, at the 15th Convention in Istanbul, members voted to open up membership. Women, who have no connection to Rotarians or Inner Wheel members, can now be invited to join Inner Wheel. It is important to note that this change was as a result of an amendment to the International constitution proposed by the Inner Wheel Club of Kalgoorlie-Boulder.

In Western Australia, all Inner Wheel clubs belong to District A40 www.districta40.webs.com/ and, locally, there is one club in the Goldfields being the Inner Wheel Club of Kalgoorlie-Boulder kbinnerwheel.webs.com/ who meet on the third Wednesday of every month at the Tower Hotel.

Foodbank operates on a skeleton staff of paid employees, so they always need vo l un tee r s t o he lp w i t h t he work. Volunteering at Foodbank means you’ll make a meaningful contribution, gain new skills or put old ones to good use, meet new people and help them disseminate food for 55,000 Western Australians every month.

Activities include picking and packing of food orders and other general light warehouse duties.

Volunteers also give support in Foodbank’s administration office and in turn receive valuable hands on experience and on-the-job training.

Foodbank provides a clean, safe and happy work environment and are always seeking volunteers to help them cope with the increasing demand from the charities they serve.

Don't forget to search through your pantry and find a couple of items for Foodbank for their Clean Out Your Pantry for Spring project.

Bring something along to a meeting. Butch will be coming along to a meeting in the next couple of weeks so he can update us on the work of Foodbank in Kalgoorlie-Boulder and then we can present the foodstuffs to him. Popular food items include:

Meals in a can

Pasta

Rice

Evaporated milk

Canned vegetables

Canned fruit

Cereal

Canned soup

Canned fish and meat

So, what is Inner Wheel?

THAT’S SO FUNNY!! An Englishman wants to marry an Irish girl and is told he needs to become Irish before he can do so. It is a very simple operation where they remove 5% of your brain. Anyway the Englishman wakes up after the operation and the doctor comes up to him looking all worried and says "I am terribly sorry, there's been a mistake to be sure, we accidentally removed 50% of your brain instead of 5%!" The Englishman sits up and says, "She'll be right, mate".
