Presidents Report Last week was our first meeting for 2014 – Joan gave us her ‘me’ talk – it never ceases toamaze what different lives we all have lead and it is interesting to learn where each of ushave come from.

Lynne Duckham had one of her official meetings with us and we continued discussion on thefuture of the Club which we will continue this week. Thank you all for your contributions tothis discussion – it wont be solved overnight or even in the next few months but if we all gettogether on it then we can make it work.

Grayce Cooper went to RYLA last week and got a lot out of it – she will be able to tell usabout it soon.

Angie, my daughter, competes Tuesday 5.30-8 and Wednesday 5.30-7.30 at the AIS track as part of the Summer Down Under Series – see the tops of Australian and overseas wheelchairracing.

Please remember to attend the Australia Day celebrations this Sunday at Queanbeyan particularly the official part.

NYSF Rotary Dinners

Come for a good dinner, inspiring company, and fellowship. Come in support of a great youth program.

Your Club might like to substitute a weekly meeting with a Dinner, or come anyway to an enjoyableactivity. The Rotary Club of Ginnindera will be host.Meet the students attending the NYSF. They come from all over, and are some of the best science studentsin the country. Hear a prominent scientist who is invited to address the students. Arrive early to chat withthe students, then we’ll sit down with them to eat.This year registration and payment have moved online, via the home page of the District web site. Just go

to http://www.rotaryd9710.org.au/ and follow the prompts. There will be no paying by cash on thenight.Please register by Sunday 15 December 2013. Any cancellations, please advise the Chairman by theSunday before each Dinner.

NYSF Home HostingThis is where there is a real need, and where we can make a real difference.

NYSF students are young and far away from home. They will be happy and excited - but very, verytired. In the middle of each Session they will need a day to rest, do their washing, and recharge batteries

before facing a second intensive week. And for Rotarians, Home Hosting can be a wonderful experience.

The dates for home hosting are Sunday 12 January and Sunday 26 January – yes, share Australia Day withthem. The times: from 9:00am to 8:00pm. Please participate if you can, and take on 2, 3 or 4 students, foreach Session if possible.Registration for home hosting is also online, via the home page of the District web site. Just go to

http://www.rotaryd9710.org.au/ and follow the prompts. Please register by Sunday 15 December

2013. NB: Students will be allocated to hosts in advance, and Rotarians will know in advance who “their”

students are. Members will meet “their” pre-allocated students on the Dinner night (if they go to it) or meetthem on the Sunday morning. Unlike in previous years, no students will approach Rotarians on the Dinnernights, asking to be taken home.

Even if you can’t come to a Dinner, please offer to home host - the students will benefit.
