Bulletin Vol: 26 No: 8 1 September 2015

Meeting The Schedule speaker, Carole Sandberg is currently unwell and not able to attend this meeting. So we are delighted to hear from (almost) new member Mike Harrowell on the topic “Microbes to Megaboom” Mike has worked as a mining engineer in underground coal and copper mines, before switching to finance. He was a portfolio manager with AMP and Bankers Trust over a 15 year period, then spent 15 years as a mining focussed stock broker including 10 years at Merrill Lynch. He is currently consulting to the mining industry, with a particular focus on the Rare Earths. His presentation is entitled “Microbes to Megaboom”, a quick walk through 3 billion years of geology and the building of BHP, hopefully putting minerals and mining into a more positive context than traditionally the case in the South Eastern States of Australia.

2 Rotary Club of Roseville Chase Bulletin President’s Report

The presentation by Sue Parbury and Mahua Das on “how to attract a time poor generation” had some resonance with our action to attract members and to build “Friends of Rotary” through links with local business and organisation. There are businesses and individuals that are philanthropic and want to be seen to be ‘supporting a good cause’ and being supportive of their community.

Our challenge as Rotarians is to show them that Rotary and its local, national and international connections can be the ‘good cause’ on a number of different levels, that these people are looking for..

The new brochure the Membership committee have recently produced has been designed to speak to these people. Lets all make an effort to inform people of the rewards and benefits of being part of our Rotary Club.

Be a gift to the world………….start local.

Fun Run suggestion for discussion. • Best Dressed runners • BMX bike race - rules? 10km Course? • Free Hot Dog – thin sausage in bread (Stamp Race Bib) • Medalions Reprint or other suggestions? • School / Class competition?? • Better structure of supporter stands I would appreciate your thoughts on these ideas on potential ways to revamp the Fun Run. Email me your comments.

Regards President Duncan

THE SARGOOD STORY 1916 Frederick George Sargood purchases magnificent beachfront house with a superb northerly aspect on Collaroy Beach.

1918 November 1918, just after the War ended, Frederick Sargood generously donated his beach house and furniture to the War Chest.

1922 In June 1922, the Governor of NSW, Sir Walter Davidson, opened the convalescent home, Collaroy, in the presence of Frederick Sargood.

1922 – 1960 Collaroy is handed over to Royal Alexandra Hospital for Children and with the dedication and support of the local community, thousands of children are nursed back to health.

1960 The site is declared “surplus to requirements” by the Royal Alexandria Hospital for Children and transferred to the Department of Health. Successive governments attempt to rezone the land with intent to sell.

1999 The Collaroy Community Group (now the Sargood Foundation) is officially elected. Their mandate is to ensure that Frederick Sargood’s vision of a place of healing for the community remains in perpetuity.

2011 Lifetime Care and Support Authority purchase the land from the Department of Health.

Sargood becomes a reality

YOUR BULLETIN. The Dinner Bulletin is a great means of informing members, partners and other people with an interest in our Club, of our projects, Rotary programs, guest speaker programs, social activities and other Rotary matters. Its provided so you can read it and be inform of Rotary and club matters..

Not all members can attend all meetings and so do not benefit from verbal reports at meetings. But the Bulletin is emailled to every member so they can be kept informed of Club matters through articles and reports that members contribute.

At this meeting I will give $10 to the first member who has read this emailed Bulletin and then phoned me (0401 911 242) before 5.00pm on this Tuesday quoting Rod Macqueen’s D. O. B.

SOME NEW WORDS ADDED TO THE OXFORD DICTIONARY - MOST POPULAR IN AUSTRALIA.

Wine O’clock; An appropriate time of day for starting to drink wine: e.g. I just checked my watch and it’s definitely wine o’clock.

Butthurt; Overly or unjustifiably offended or resentful: e.g. all butthurt that she released the album online first.

Bespoke; (of goods, especially clothing) made to order: a bespoke suit.

Hangry; Bad-tempered or irritable as a result of hunger: e.g. I get very hangry if I miss a meal.

Awesomesauce; Extremely good; excellent: e.g. The ladies’ awesomesauce weekend in Vegas ended prematurely. Seeing them perform live was awesomesauce! Rotary Club of Roseville Chase Bulletin 9 BABBAGE ROAD CHILDRENS PLAY PARK.

At the meeting on Tuesday 25 August 2015, PP Stuart Frith gave the following report on the recently completed children’s playground on the corner of Babbage Road and Malga Avenue, Roseville Chase.

“I am doing the final paperwork for the project which involves an acquittal for the State Government.

It is worthwhile just reflecting on the financials of the project.

The Club’s total cash budget was made up as follows:

Ku- ring- gai Council grant $50,000 State Government grant $25,150 Dick Smith Foundation $ 5,000 The Rotary Foundation $ 3,000 Club budgeted amount $ 41,400 Total $124,550

Actual cash expended $116,000

Hence the project was completed under budget by $8,550 and consequently the Club’s actual cash expenditure was $32,850.

So on a cash basis, for every $1 the Club spent from its funds it was able to leverage another $2.53 from other cash sources. However this does not recognise the fantastic contribution the Club received in “in kind” support (i.e. provision of conceptual plans, security fencing, concrete paths and plinths, surveying, port-a- loo, detailed engineering and portable equipment supply).

From reputable professionals the commercial value of the playground (that is the cost of the playground if all costs had been incurred by the Club without any in kind support, grants, financial contributions or club labour) is approximately $250,000.

Therefore the Club was able to attract “in kind” support (including the labour provided by Club members) equivalent to approximately $134,000 ($250,000 - $116,000).

So then based on a project worth $250,000, for every $1 the Club spent from its own funds it leveraged another $6.61 on a total project equivalent cost basis”
