FROM THE PRESIDENT: OCT 16 by Gary Price Good Morning Coves! If Rotary is going to be around after we are 'gone', we need to recruit new people, constantly. If we are to be effective in communicating the value of 'belonging' to Rotary, we need to know what Rotary is doing. And ... Rotary is doing amazing things!! What better way to keep abreast of the latest Rotary programs than at the District Conference? Hear them straight from the horses mouth! Do our Club a favour, do your District a favour, do Rotary a favour and most of all do yourself a favour, attend! Even better bring a friend to introduce them to Rotary in all its glory! Following are just a handful of the exciting speakers featured at our upcoming District Conference: Peter Cousens is one of Australia's most outstanding musical theatre performers; a successful actor, on stage and on television; a cabaret artist; performing at multi-national corporate functions; as a commercial and television presenter and as a recording artist. Billy Field, who has had almost as many comebacks as Dame Nellie Melba (and now Johnny Farnham), will be entertaining Rotarians at the District Conference Dinner on Saturday night, 24th October. Billy will be appearing with his band singing jazz, blues, rock'n'roll plus original songs and his classic hits from his 20+ years in showbiz! Professor Minas Coroneo will give a brief update on the progress in developing the first bionic eye. It sounds like the Six Million Dollar Man, however a breakthrough is not far away! Dr Sam Prince started his first business whilst still at university. It was a Mexican Restaurant, the Zambrero Fresh Mex Grill, which currently has franchises throughout Australia. He also owns a graphic design firm. These two businesses make more than AUS $1 million a year and employ more than 30 people. Following the success of his entrepreneurial endeavours, Dr Prince created the Emagine foundation, a non-profit organisation with the global goal of providing Information Technology infrastructure to rural and remote areas in developing nations. As a result of his determination, courage and commitment, the Emagine Foundation has now grown into a global organisation that has representatives in the UK, Australia, India, Sri Lanka, Ethiopia and Malaysia. It provides education opportunities and hope to children who had never seen a computer before. Sophie Lavers is blonde, beautiful, Miss World Australia and is a talented performer. She volunteers at the Salvos' Oasis Youth Support Network's StreetLevel Cafe. See you there Gary Price GUEST SPEAKER: OCT 16 by Guy Glenny Susannah Fullerton is a popular literary lecturer and author. She is a leading authority on 19th and 20th century writers with a special interest in Jane Austen - she is president of the Jane Austen Society of Australia. She also leads literary tours to the UK every year. Her latest book is Brief Encounters: Literary travellers in Australia 1836-1939. It's an often humorous look at the experiences of many of literature's greatest writers when they visited Australia. The book features writers such as Charles Darwin, Robert Louis Stevenson, D H Lawrence and Mark Twain. D9750 PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: OCT 19 by Michael Davies Dear Members, I have been a Rotarian for just on three years and it continues to enthuse me as I discover new things about Rotary International - the extent of its activities, its complexity and the amazing level of communication which occurs despite its being a voluntary service organisation. Most of the ways in which this is achieved rely heavily on the membership knowing and understanding the intricacies of the organisation. In this way, I believe Rotary achieves an extremely high level of cooperative self management. Each year, within the District there are two training programs, one of which seems to be a somewhat informal operation called "Rotary Plus" which is more oriented towards personal development, and the other is more oriented towards Rotary itself and is run by the District. The District program is referred to as"Professional Development" and covers the following subjects: - Membership - Public Relations - The Rotary Foundation - Club Administration, Secretaries, Treasurers - Club Officers, Board members - Service projects You will note that the programs roughly follow the Committee structure of the Club as set out in the Club Leadership Plan. The first training session for Zone A (comprising Rotary Clubs SDH, S, SCBD, Sydney Cove, KX, DB, and RB) will be held on Monday 19 October which will profile The Rotary Foundation. The meeting will be hosted by the RC of Sydney Inner West, at Rydges Camperdown, 9 Missenden Rd, Camperdown commencing at 6:00pm. The agenda is: - The Rotary Foundation - Suzanne Campbell, District Foundation Chair - PolioPlus - Bruce Allen, Manager, The Rotary Foundation, South Pacific Office - Grants including how to complete a District Simplified Grant - Brian Owles, Subcommittee Chair for Grants - Annual Program Fund including how to become a Centurion, Permanent Program Fund and Alumni - Suzanne Campbell - Questions and Answers There is a meal charge of $25 and RSVP's should be directed to Pres. Sandra Bloxham on [email protected] as soon as possible. It is very important that new members and older members who have not previously attended a training session attend as many of the sessions as possible and catch up on the balance of the subjects in subsequent years. I will keep you informed in relation to the balance of the programme. Michael Davies, President 2009-2010 Rotary Club of Sydney Darling Harbour LIFE & STYLE by Meg Campbell-Dowling Life & Style: Being Happy Part 6 Relationships, Question: How much time do you spend with people you like? Are relationships a priority for you? Humans are social animals. We enjoy talking to and being with others because that is our nature - we are genetically programmed to affiliate. Although we can be perfectly happy to spend time alone, being by ourselves for too long can sometimes make us feel down. At an instinctive level we like to be with people. Good relationships provide us with many benefits - both emotional and practical. They satisfy our need for social connection and belonging, help us to feel secure and contribute to feelings of self-worth. They also provide enjoyment, entertainment and mental stimulation. When we are trying to solve problems, other people can give us ideas, useful information, a fresh perspective and sometimes, practical assistance. Several studies have found that strong supportive relationships are beneficial not only for our psychololgical well-being for for our physical health as well. There are some interesting differences in the social behaviour of men compared to women. In most families, men take little responsibility for maintaining social connections other than with their partner and immediate family. Women are more frequently responsible for making social arrangmenets and are more likely to initiate contact with friends. They are also more likely than men to have close friendships with people outside their family unit - usually other women. Although good social support is just as important for men as it is for women, men are generally less inclined to initiate contact or maintain social relationships, and therefore tend to be more dependent on their partner for friendship, intimacy and social support. For this reason, men often have fewer resources to help them cope at times of marital break-up or bereavement. In fact losing one's spouse often has a more devastating impact on the health of men than of women, largely because of the more limited support that is available to men. While a loving and supportive primary relationship is a wonderful thing to have, relying on one person to satisy all our emotional needs is risky - a bit like putting all of our eggs into one basket.
