World Rotaract Week 13 March Who was there celebrating the sponsors and supporters of our Australia Day Picnic - well, unfortunately we received no positive RSVPs from any of our ADay sponsors which reflects on their valuable contribution to our big day but shows they are sponsors that do not need public recognition for their support. So we thank them in absentia and hope to involve them again next year. But we did have some visitors who came along to share with us the joys and successes of ADay and they were Toni Anne Smallman with Andrew, Robert and Tamika, Jeff & Julie Stanley, Rick Taylor, Betty Goodall and 6 Rotaractors, all workers recognised for their efforts. In addition as visitors Alun Hughes, Paul Valente (Kidman Park RC), Alison, Mary, Chris and Gloria with 19 Rotarians made a full house for the evening. Club Announcements: PE Graham Purbrick reported that the Clean-Up- Australia Day team of Dennis, Christopher and Kerrie, Norm and Gabi (with Sophie), Roger and Graham managed the usual stint along the Little Para River but were agreeably surprised that the rubbish accumulated seemed to less than past years. Mary turned up at midday with a ‘Subway’ lunch for us all and Dennis provided the means by which we could toast March 1st as St David’s Day. (We accepted Rick’s excuse for not appearing on Sunday morning.) Graham also reported on the fun and games of the Quiz Night for Asher’s Congo Grace Charity and declared that the Rotary Table might have won the night had they been a bit cleverer. PP Colin Willington urged any member who requires a new Rotary shirt to contact Ellinor and place an order asap and reminded members of the 5th Monday in March visit to Ellinor’s Business in the Parafield Business area, including food! The next Northern Business Breakfast on March 23rd will have as guest speaker Tod Miller, an entrepreneur who has built up an amazing export business. NBB will be at The Club, Parafield Gardens Community Club. President Rick reminded our members of the Club’s involvement in the next Midnight Basketball Event on Saturday 21st March – a couple more helpers required with the catering. A roster sheet was circulated. Rotaractor Damien gave a good summary of Midnight Basketball for the uninitiated. The Group 4 Combined Meeting on 20th April will be available to book on-line. Former Lord Mayor of Adelaide, Stephen Yarwood, will be the guest speaker. Rick gave a brief report of the recent Board Meeting including the impending up-grade of the Club’s Web-site, the need to recruit some more Thursday helpers for Allsorts and the planned public schools Debating Contest between the 8 local High Schools into which $1000 has been given from the President’s Discretionary Fund. There will be some security aspectsS for the Club’s money/cash movements to be advised and Roger will now do the weekly banking. Rick gave some media feedback on ADay including 21000 Facebook and Twitter hits, Channel 9 News coverage, newspaper and Salisbury Aware exposure – all good! The remainder of the evening was taken up with table group responses to some questions that Rick had developed asking for ideas towards the next ADay – as a result there are now some ideas for the next ADay committee to consider. Chris Marks – President of Rotaract provided a brief summary of the progress and activities of their Club which indicates the Club is up and running very well with new ideas, directions and recruits.

I think the Rotary Club of Salisbury is really kicking some big goals at the moment – but it is very reliant on volunteer effort. Many people are donating their time at (or beyond) their ideal amount. Thank you to everyone who is making a difference – whether it be with Container of Hope project, Bunnings BBQs, Allsorts, the Business Breakfast or administration roles (program officer, bulletin editor, webmaster, board members, allsorts committee, etc) and project delivery. You are all valuable and you are helping make our community a better place. If anyone knows of a person who would be willing to work at Allsorts on Thursdays (every couple of weeks) we are keen to recruit a few extra friends of Rotary particularly to assist in this role. Skills needed include – able to work the cash register and eftpos (after some training) and have good customer service attitude, good ability to move around and stock shelves or general tidy up / dust, ability to embrace the principals of Rotary.
