FROM THE PRESIDENT RCSC Board Meeting Deloittes Aug 21, 2013 Dear Coves, Vinnies Night Patrol Aug 27, 2013 Denis Smith tracked down a very special guest for us this week - John Rezek - the Editor-in-chief of The Community Service Meeting Rotarian Magazine (from RI headquarters in Evanston, Sep 13, 2013 Chicago). John was in town thanks to Tourism NSW, on a reconnaissance for all the Rotarians keen to visit RCSC Board Meeting Australia next year for the very big International Deloitttes Sep 18, 2013 Conference we are hosting. Denis organised several of us (Andrew, Evan from the E-Club and yours truly) to be RCSC Board Meeting guests of Adrian Skeggs (our ex-Wallaby Club visitor) Deloittes on another Tall Ship cruise on the Harbour on Oct 16, 2013 Thursday ... see photo below. Rotary Charity Regatta Then on Friday morning John attended our Breakfast and gave us some great feedback, Nov 15, 2013 and a couple of questions: RCSC Board Meeting • How helpful are communications from RI? http://www.clubrunner.ca/portal/DynamicBulletinEmail.aspx?accountid=2428 17/07/2013 Sydney Cove Page 2 of 6 Deloittes • Do Rotarians (like us) read & like The Rotarian as well as their regional magazine? Nov 20, 2013 • What can we (at The Rotarian) do to make your work - at the club level - easier? I’m going to attempt a straw poll over the next few weeks to give John some answers – RCSC Board Meeting please help. Deloittes Dec 18, 2013 Otherwise, our breakfast last week was awash with other visiting Rotarians including a District Conference couple from Sao Paulo, Brazil and friends including Andrea’s Mum, and Guigs’ host Mum. Feb 28, 2014 - Mar 01, 2014 And it was great to see several members returning including Rob Campbell, Jennifer Hewett (who will be our guest speaker on September 6th) and Fiona and David Gawel - RI Convention please keep bringing Max and Rex. Sid Berkowitz gave a wonderfully passionate Jun 01, 2014 - Jun 04, 2014 presentation on Police Legacy and Kevin Beltrame brought us nicely up-to-date on the Rocks Community - thank you Kevin. Which brings me to this week, where we welcome our new District 9675 Governor, Garry Browne. A Rotarian with great energy and passion - Garry is a member of the Sydney Club and is keen to kick off a great year for the new bigger District. He also wants us to work together with other clubs and there are several occasions for Sydney Cove including involvement with Rose Bay in the City2Surf, and with both Sydney and Darling Harbour in events later this year and next (watch this space). Garry’s visit is also an opportunity to announce a new Club and District project for this year – bringing Dr Seye Abimbola back to ‘complete’ his PhD studies. You will recall Seye visited Australia as an Ambassadorial Scholar in 2009/10 - during which he finished a top level Master’s degree with Alex Martiniuk and the George Institute. As a sequel, Seye is now returning on Saturday next, July 20th for three more years - with huge help from the University of Sydney, several of our Club’s generous donors, together with direct contributions from the Club and the District. Seye’s project will focus on ‘The distribution of Primary Health Care in Nigeria’s rural and remote communities’. So he is combining the advancement of his education - that will bolster his prospects of reaching a high position in the Nigerian Health system - with a very practical study that will assist Polio eradication and the containment of HIV/Aids in his country. It’s a project that we will be proud to support. Seye and his wife Oine may be joining us for breakfast on July 26th, together with Mark Ella, as our guest speaker - so that will be a great breakfast to attend. But they all are I hear you say!!!

  • The Indigenous Marathon Project Run. Sweat. Inspire Parliamentry Inquiry Into the Contribution of Sport
    Submission 049 The Indigenous Marathon Project Run. Sweat. Inspire Parliamentry Inquiry into the contribution of Sport to Indigenous wellbing and mentoring 1 Submission 049 IMP objectives 1. To promote healthy and active lifestyles throughout Indigenous communities nationally and reduce the incidence of Indigenous chronic disease: & 2. To create Indigenous distance running champions and to inspire Indigenous people. Background The Indigenous Marathon Project (IMP) was established in 2009 by World Champion marathon runner and 1983 Australian of the Year, Robert de Castella. IMP annually selects, educates, trains and takes a group of inspirational young Indigenous men and women aged 18-30 to compete in the world’s biggest marathon – the New York City Marathon. IMP is not a sports program. IMP is a social change program that uses the simple act of running as a vehicle to promote the benefits of active and healthy lifestyles and change lives. The group of men and women are similar to rocks in a pond, with their ripple effect continuing to inspire local family and community members as well as thousands of Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians nationally. The Project highlights the incredible natural talent that exists within the Australian Indigenous population, with the hope to one day unearth an Indigenous long-distance running champion to take on the African dominance. The core running squad push their physical and mental boundaries to beyond what they ever thought they were capable of, and after crossing the finish line of the world’s biggest marathon, they know they can achieve anything. These runners are trained to become healthy lifestyle leaders by completing a Certificate IV in Health and Leisure, with a focus on Indigenous healthy lifestyle.
