  • PROLOGUE This History of Our Rotary District 9570 from Its Inception In
    PROLOGUE This history of our Rotary District 9570 from its inception in 1979 has finally been born after several miscarriages and a couple of still-born infants. Even this child has had a long gestation period. The former District Historian, Bob Nunn, had conceived the idea of publishing a booklet on each District Governor. He actually published two of them on PDG Ron Downs and PDG Bob Grant. This proved too time-consuming, too ambitious, and too expensive, especially as sales of the booklets to recoup some of the expenditure to the District were very disappointing. Bob has collected a lot of material, which he has categorised and handed on to me. Some of this is quite detailed. However, the responses from a few of the Past District Governors are disappointing. If some parts of this history are sparse, lack of material on a particular year is the reason. To make sure this history was completed as soon as possible some drastic decisions had to be made. A small chapter in the same format has been devoted to each Rotary Year. The number of photographs, accompanying the text of each chapter, has been limited. The history will not be printed as a book, but “burned’ on to a compact disc, a copy of which will be given to each club. If anyone then wants a printed copy of parts of the history, they can download the parts of interest to them. This new District 957, to begin operating from the 1979-80 Rotary Year, was created while Clem Renouf was President of Rotary International.

  • Rotary District 5110 Youth Exchange 2020-21 FAQS for Students
    Rotary District 5110 Youth Exchange 2020-21 FAQS for Students What is the program? Long-Term Exchange is for a school year (typically plus a couple of weeks either side of the term). The student is hosted and supervised by a Rotary club, stays with at least two families, and must go to school while abroad. For ages 15 to 18 1⁄2. Who is eligible? Students must have good grades, demonstrate good citizenship and be going on exchange for the right reasons and with the right expectations. They must be endorsed by their parents and their local Rotary club, and they must complete the Rotary Youth Exchange training for their experience. What countries are available? Our current countries are Argentina/Paraguay, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Norway, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan and Thailand. These will occasionally change. We ask the students for their preferences and match them when possible, but we make the final assignments based on our experience and knowledge of cultures and situations. What are the costs? For 2020-21 Long-term Exchange, the fee is $6,700 (subject to change), with a possible surcharge of up to $200 if airfares exceed budget. The fee covers round-trip airfair from Portland, visa costs, insurance and official blazer and hoodie, a badge, lapel pins for trading, and training. Students who fly from another airport to Portland must pay for that leg of the trip, both going and returning. Students should plan on personal expenses of at least $100 per month, but every student and every country is different.

    ROTARY INTERNATIONAL THE FIRST FORTY YEARS. A HISTORY OF THE ROTARY CLUB OF BELCONNEN A.C.T. INCORPORATED. Authors: Past President John Sheldrick Past President Peter Oldham 2 Historical Note from the Authors This history of the Rotary Club of Belconnen Inc. was researched and developed in two parts and hence the ‗Forward‘ comprising input from two Presidents and the Charter President. The first part was commissioned by the then President Warren Karle in his Rotary year, 2007-2008, and comprised most of Part One – The Formative Years. The second was commissioned by President Rod Menzies in his Rotary year, 2010-2011 as a means of recognising in some small way the 40th Anniversary of the Club. We hope that this publication will give another strong indication that the impact the Rotary Club of Belconnen has had, not only on the local community, but nationally and indeed internationally. The camaraderie, fellowship and contribution of all members over the years are quite amazing. We trust you find it a good read. John Sheldrick Peter Oldham Past President Past President 3 Foreword John Sheldrick and Peter Oldham have devoted many hours in compiling this history of the Rotary Club of Belconnen. It has required much research into early records, and has resulted in a very readable and comprehensive account of the formation of one of the most successful clubs in the district. We were chartered as ‗Rotary Club of Canberra – Belconnen‘ in 1971. This was a very exciting time in the development of Belconnen. Charter members were mostly new to Canberra, in new jobs, living in new houses in new suburbs.

We have structured this year’s conference to provide you a mix of inspiring messages, practical information and smaller-group discussion. We are happy to have as our special guest our current Rotary International President, Ian Riseley from Australia. President Ian is a great supporter of Rotary Youth Exchange; it is a program in which he has volunteered for many years. Whether you are an outbound preparing to embark on the greatest adventure of your life, an inbound about to leave for home or a rebound who has just returned from a year filled with amazing experiences, we have prepared sessions to help you cope with the changes you’re about to face, what we call “culture shock” and “reverse culture shock.” And we have special breakouts for parents, because the youth exchange experience affects them as much as their children.

She also feels strongly that traveling enables one to gain a higher level of maturity. Chiara enjoys skiing, reading books, hanging out with friends, playing the piano, listening to music and drawing. Kelowna Sunrise Rotarian Don Turri and his wife Lucy were the first host family to provide a comfortable, supportive and safe home for Chiara. The Rotary Club of Sondrio, Chiara’s Host Club…..
