Klerksdorp Rotary Club
Meeting Report – 26 July 2012
by Alma Piek
President Nico opened the meeting and asked Clifton to say grace and unfurl the flag. He welcomed
the guests: Dr Stephen Evans - our speaker for the evening as well as Johann and Karen du Toit,
Alfred and Elsche Dippenaar, Pieter and Corrie Meiring, Leon en Almarie Duyn, Karl and Rienie
Pedersen, Alex and Brenda Daneel, Mike and Ingrid Murray, Livia and Jennifer Coleman, Gerhard
and Jeanette Ackerman and Joan de Jongh
President Nico called on PP Margie to come to the podium. She had the honour of handing over a
Paul Harris recognition and explained that in the RC of Klerksdorp it is jealously guarded and only
awarded to the most worthy members of the club and of the community. Livia Coleman, kind and
sympathetic, is indeed such a member and deserves it for the outstanding work she is doing in our
community.
Tom was called upon to be the sergeant for the evening. He did it with flair, matching the speakers
topic namely BIRDS. He referred to himself , appropriately, as the Baard Mannetjie and to PP Margie
as the pygmy falcon.
PP Margie then introduced the speaker, Dr Stephens Evans, an ornithologist. He grew up in
Klerksdorp as the son of Rotarians. His PhD was obtained by studying the Blue Swallow. It was a
privilege to listen to the most informative speech titled: “In the Shadow of the Fairy Tern” This
specific research was done by him on the St. Brandon’s Islands, north of Mauritius. During his stay on
the Island he studied the 1,2 million seabirds end investigated the eggs for persistent organic
pollutants (POPs).
Let’s fill that jar

change.

Casper thanked the speaker after which the wine draw was won Lynn Cohen. After the 4 way test was
done by Clifton, President Nico concluded and invited all the guests to have dessert, coffee and good
fellowship.

The global launch of The Rotary Foundation’s new grant model is only a year away,
but clubs and districts can begin preparing now. To help you get started, the
Foundation has created timelines for club and district leaders that outline key dates and
tasks necessary to qualify for district and global grants. These materials include links
to e-learning modules, club and district memorandums of understanding, and the
revised Grant Management Manual.

Has your district appointed a district Rotary
Foundation committee chair? It will be the chair’s
responsibility, along with the district governor and
governor-elect, to ensure your district has met all of
the necessary requirements for a Foundation grant.
They will also be asked to conduct training seminars
for clubs, focused on project planning, grant management, and stewardship. Find ideas and resources for planning your seminars in the
District Rotary Foundation Seminar Manual.
For clubs
Clubs can begin preparing by reading the Club Rotary Foundation Committee Manual
and reviewing the requirements to qualify for a Foundation grant. You can appoint a
club Rotary Foundation committee chair and attend a grant management seminar. Elearning modules on global grants for humanitarian projects, vocational training teams,
and Rotary scholarships are available to help you understand all of the new
opportunities available.
For everyone
Future Vision pilot districts are another valuable resource to help clubs and districts
prepare for the new grant model. Join the Future Vision LinkedIn group to talk with
Rotarians from pilot districts and hear what they’re saying about the new grant model.

CAUGHT On CAMERA
Chances are, if you have a question about the Rotary Club of Klerksdorp and the use of
social media to connect with our roaming Ambassador, Lennie (“Lennie theLion”).
Why should you use social media to find out more about Lennie and our Rotary club?
There are millions of reasons to use social media. In fact, there are more than 800
million Facebook users.
Getting started with Facebook
If you’re not on social media yet, consider starting with Facebook. Available in over 70
languages, Facebook has more than 28 million users age 45 and older. Best practices
for Facebook include:
•
•
•
•
•
Use a Facebook page instead of a profile for your club or district.
Give more than one person administrator rights to the page.
Incorporate Facebook into your communications plan and budget.
Post items from your weekly meeting or newsletter to your page.
Update your Facebook page at least two to three times a week.
The people on social networks live in your community. You may want to invite them
to your next club meeting or fundraiser. They may belong to another Rotary club or
organization that can help you with a community service project. They may need your
help to start a Rotaract club. Social media also helps promote a positive image for
Rotary, which contributes to the growth of the organization.

TO THE BRAIN TEASER
(The easy one....): 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 - 9 = 7
1 + 3 x 5 x 7 - 9 = 131
1 + 3 x 5 - 7 + 9 = 22
(Some of the purists will argue the old BODMAS principle that division and
multiplication should always precede adding and subtracting ... ... which was why
you were asked for a simple left-to-right progression.)
