We at Casey offer a diverse range of social events that are offered in the name of shared community, with no pressure to attend. Last Wednesday Night, a number of our Casey Rotarians went to hear the amazing music and voice of the group of Al Firous, highly qualified musicians based in Granada, Spain who are currently touring the world. Their instruments reflected Moroccan tradition and an European orchestral tradition, namely cello and violin, not to mention a passion for Celtic muscianship. It was absorbing to experience such a merging of cultural nuances and rhythmic beats that curiously blended several worlds. While some tunes reflected specific cultures, the restful tones of Sufi mysticism emersed us in a silent space, whilst at other times a sense of a happy community saw audience participation, with singing and clapping to the shared joy of well known folk music by the audience. It was lovely to be approached by people afterwards, who shared a love of music. Thanks Hakim for arranging this. Awesome. I am so happy that I was part of that energy. It was peaceful and beautiful at the same time. I got to speak with the cellist, a beautiful young woman who had her Masters in Music, specializing in you know what. I found out that the man playing what sounded like a cross between a sitar and a slide guitar, actually worked somewhat like a harp, had 76 different strings to work with. Amazing. All in all, my world expanded, given this experience.

Last week we experienced a 'Behind the Badge' talk from our Fellow Rotarian, Trevor. While we expected him to speak about his field of endeavour, we were deeply moved when he revealed a very personal, life changing event in his life; describing the impact it had emotionally on family life, something that still reverberates 10 years on. He explained how a member of his family was King Hit, an act more recently relabeled as coward punched. He spoke with an open heart as he spoke of the love and courage all concerned needed to cope and deal with unconditionally, flow-on consequences as they progressively revealed themselves. We are richer for this talk. Having often heard of the impact of such a vicious, pointless act in the media, to hear directly a heart-felt, explanation of the impact first hand, was so moving. The love of ones family is so important. Rotarian Trevor is one that doesn't speak about himself but of service to a community he believes needs helf to be their better selves. He then went on to speak of how he saw a different face of our community and it's veiled needs as those with a less supportive team behind them battled daily to survive, outlining his subsequent involvement with St. Vincent de Paul, something he grew to absolutely respect. It is our privilege to have such an empathic Member in our Club.

Prue Ingrams, CEO of Interplast was our special guest speaker. John Berends also a special guest was major sponsor of the Holland Festival, both shown. Last night the Rotary Casey flag was given to the Seaford-Carrum Downs Rotary Club as they along with President Hakim and Rotarian Paul presented Interplast with a cheque for $10,000. When we listened to the medical work Interplast does for 22 much smaller countries it makes you proud to be Australian. It was particularly special to have so many guests from that Club also attend our meeting.

This is a Federal Government Initiative developed to help our near neighbours access work. These men were from Vanuatu. This program is offered to 8 similar small Nations such as Timor Leste and Fiji. The companies who employed them needed to prove that they could not recruit from the Australian Community first.

The Wheelchair gives different children the opportunity to integrate and go to school, but it also leads to different challenges:
- the houses in which they inhabit are often too small, taking out the chair is therefore uncomfortable and takes a long time due to the architecture of the
- usually families live far and the only way to access is to walk for 45 minutes on the dirt road, even this is to be uncomfortable and even impossible during the rainy season.
- different families have difficulties paying the school tax.
Once at school though children are very happy.

Charlie Speirs’ DG Partner’s Project 2018-19 is to raise money to install SkyHydrant Water Filtration systems in Third World Schools. The SkyHydrant is a proven sustainable method of removing all bacteria and dirt & produces 1000 litres of safe water an hour.
Charlie’s target is $15,000 - this sum will allow the opportunity to raise a Global Grant from Rotary Foundation which would double the money available to installing Skyhydrants in schools.
Let’s get behind this project and raise funds for this as EVERY child in the world deserves SAFE WATER!

Rotary Ideas, Rotary International’s crowdfunding platform, makes finding project resources easy. You can search by contribution type (volunteers, partnerships, online contributions, and materials) to find initiatives to support and resources for your own projects. You can also search by club, district, or country. Until recently, only club leaders could post projects. With recent enhancements, though, district leaders can now do so as well. Download the guide to starting a project on Rotary Ideas or contact social@rotary.org for more information.

My Fellow Rotarians, It is with a heavy heart that I announce my resignation as the president-nominee of Rotary International. While it was my dream to serve as your president, my health prevents me from giving my absolute best to you and the office of the president at this time. I believe Rotary deserves nothing less than that from those elected to represent this great organization of ours. I have made this difficult decision after much soul searching and conferring with my family. This is not only a disappointment for us, but I am also keenly aware that this will be a disappointment for many Rotarians in India who were so proud to see someone from our country again named as president. I know that this is what is best for Rotary International. I have been a Rotarian for more than 40 years and it has given me everything I could ask for. I can think of no higher honor than to have been selected by the Nominating Committee as president of Rotary for the 2020-21 Rotary year. I will continue to proudly serve as a Rotary member and pursue some major initiatives that I wanted to accomplish during my year as president, because I know that we are poised to achieve more great things in the future. I wish nothing but the best to the candidate who succeeds me as president and thank you all for the support and encouragement you have shown me in the past year. -Sushil Gupta

By Gary Bennett, past president of the Rotary Club of Kelowna and current member of the Sunrise Rotary Club of Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada I read with great interest what President-elect Mark Daniel Maloney had to say about growing Rotary in the March issue of The Rotarian. He is spot on. Healthy membership is the life blood of any organization and Rotary is no exception. Because we all benefit from a thriving membership, all of us share a responsibility to help grow Rotary and bring in new members. President-elect Mark’s emphasis on growing Rotary is a welcome reminder of our opportunity to help.

Friendship Exchange January 2019 to India with 12 members from District 9820 representing 8 clubs. Over 14 days we were hosted by Rotarians from District 2980, the anagram of District numbers was found quite humorous by our hosts. Aside from being guests of honour at many Club Meetings, including 6 Cluster Meetings we were guided to many Rotary projects within the State of Tamil Nadu. One club owns approx. 160 acres and provides housing in ‘nursing home’ style for the elderly.

“In the forefront of this year’s logo is the crest of a breaking wave, representing my island home of the Bahamas, and the sea that surrounds it. The sea represents inspiration, and the waves are that inspiration striking land. Waves are a primal force of nature: constant, dependable, and unstoppable, they change the world not only through their strength, but also through their constancy.

Rob Armstrong and his team of Scouts from the Officer Scout group GWS Anderson Scouts independently handled traffic and parking at the Holland Festival. About 20 scouts and scout leaders signed up and worked all day including bump in and bump out… Rob assisted with the planning and council permits for traffic & parking and the scouts made all their own plans within those guidelines. Rob and his team handled all required signage and all parking and traffic issues, and as a fundraiser for the Scouts, requested a gold coin donation from the public for their efforts, and in this way raised nearly $2000 for their Scout Group. Rob attended many HF meetings and he and his team were a pleasure to work with.

The work of Rotaract member Campbell (pictured above) with his team on Saturday the 16th of March 2019 for the Holland Festival Event surpassed my expectations. When I gave the assignment, I asked Campbell to coordinate not only the shifts/ tea and coffee breaks/ lunch breaks (with the Rotaractors) but also keep me informed throughout the day. Not only Campbell adhered to the instructions given but also conducted a cross collaboration with Rotary Club of Casey with solutions for customer payments. The way Campbell and his team (on the day) handled the situation with the difficulty of payments was nothing short of amazing.

Well it’s been and gone…. And what a whirlwind in the end. The Holland Festival 2019, came to fruition on the 16th March on a perfect Autumn day. Over 100 volunteers were resplendent in their glowing orange Tee Shirts and we were very proud to be Casey Rotarians as the day unfolded. Along the way we made lasting friendships with some awesome members of a very proud Dutch Community. We strengthened our bonds with the two Rotaract Clubs in District 9820 and the local GSW A Scouts. We wish to thank our friends and family who chipped in with help and those from other Rotary Clubs.

The Holland Festival,like so many ethnic- based festivals throughout Australia, is a tribute to the rich cultural heritages of the respective groups. It is also a tribute to the rich harmonious multi-cultural fabric of a forward- looking open society.

From John Caruana
District 9820 chair Model United Nations AssemblySixty-five high school students from 23 schools and sponsored by 24 Rotary Clubs from the district gathered at Phillip Island over the weekend of 18th-20th May for the Model United Nations Assembly (MUNA). They travelled from as far as Gippsland, East Gippsland, Latrobe Valley, Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula. Pictured above are the winners of the best overall delegation, China (right) and the winners of the peace award , USA (left) along with the group as a whole and the MUNA logo.
In delegations representing their country of choice and dressed in the national costume of that country, they debated global issues in the area of peace and security, human rights, refugees and the environment. Many Rotarians, teachers and parents visited during the day and witnessed the debates in progress.

Charlie Speirs’ DG Partner’s Project 2018-19 is to raise money to install SkyHydrant Water Filtration systems in Third World Schools. The SkyHydrant is a proven sustainable method of removing all bacteria and dirt & produces 1000 litres of safe water an hour.
Charlie’s target is $15,000 - this sum will allow the opportunity to raise a Global Grant from Rotary Foundation which would double the money available to installing Skyhydrants in schools.
Let’s get behind this project and raise funds for this as EVERY child in the world deserves SAFE WATER!
