Thank you to members who supported the End Polio Now movie night by purchasing tickets and assisting with tasks on the night of the event. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. We raised in excess of $1300 and got to share the evening with friends and acquaintances, maybe win a prize or two in the raffle and raise much needed funds for End Polio Now. Thank you to those who supported the evening by crossing the road and having a meal or coffee and cake at Rydges. The support from this raised an additional $58.86 for the cause. The City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder Social Club have committed funds raised from Free Dress days in February, March and April will be donated to End Polio Now so the final amount raised will not be known until May.

Next week our Guest Speaker will be Wayne Moroney, AKA Snake Man. This will be a very interesting meeting. I am looking forward to Wayne's talk. Like a few other

members I'm hoping he won't bring along any snakes!!

Coming up next is our Vocational visit to Headspace. This is on 23 March and will commence at 6pm. Pizza will be enjoyed after the tour of the building and an opportunity to hear the work Headspace will be doing in our community. The Boulder and Hannans Rotary Club members have been invited to join us also.

The following week we will holding another Rotary Information evening. If you have anyone you would like an invitation sent to please let Cherie know by no later than next Wednesday 18 March. We will be having a set menu that night.

The Rotary Club of Hannans have invited members (and partners) to Beaten Track Brewery on Thursday 16 April 6-8pm. $16 head + pizza for dinner. A list will be sent around closer to the date. I would encourage all to attend as it should be a great fun filled evening. Cont..

From President Esther ...

Rotary Club of Kalgoorlie meets at the Tower Hotel on Mondays at 6.00pm for 6.30pm. Visitors welcome!

MARCH is LITERACY Month

Rotary Club of Kalgoorlie

Gloria is busy planning for her year as President. She will be discussing possible positions with individual members. It is important if you are asked to take on a position and you want to think about it to get back to Gloria.

So please follow through and let Gloria know one way or another if you are prepared to take on the position. Not getting back to Gloria will be taken as you are going to take on the position. Gloria does not want to feel like she is hassling members for the roles needed to run the club for the year. So do help her out by letting her know your intentions.

If you feel you will not be able to commit fully to the position it is important to let Gloria know that so she can then offer the position to someone else in the club. You may only be able to assist by being involved assisting in some capacity. That is fine. We do not want members overcommitting themselves.

The last few meetings we have been going through the proposed Constitution. Constitutions can be confusing and seem quite complicated. To assist members I will be sending out a series of emails over the next few weeks breaking the document into 'bite sized' pieces. If you have any queries please do send them through so we can discuss them at each meeting. .

Enjoy the rest of your week as you Light up Rotary.

From President Esther (cont) ...

PRESIDENTIAL MESSAGE March 2015

In Rotary, we have the opportunity to build bonds of friendship with fellow Rotarians around the world. And once a year, at our international convention, we have the chance to get together with all of our Rotary friends, to share new ideas, plan new service, and just have fun.

What better way to celebrate the end of the 2014-15 Rotary year, and Light Up Rotarywith your friends, than to travel together to the 106th annual Rotary International Convention in São Paulo, Brazil? Whether you have never been to a convention before or are an experienced convention goer, this will be one you won't want to miss. Preregistration pricing ends on 31 March, so plan now for the biggest Rotary party of the year.

The convention will begin on Saturday, 6 June, and after the opening ceremony there will be a traditional Brazilian Carnival party and a Samba School Parade at the Anhembi Sambadrome. Even if you think you have no rhythm or can't carry a tune, you will find yourself dancing, singing, and laughing all night long. The party and parade will feature the bright colors, feathers, and sequins of Carnival costumes as well as the sights and sounds of samba, the Afro-Brazilian music and dance, and the delicious food and drinks of São Paulo.

On Monday night, Ivete Sangalo, winner of two Latin Grammy Awards, will entertain Rotarians. And every evening of the convention, Rotary Restaurant Nights will let you enjoy discounts in the culinary capital of Latin America. Savor fish from the Amazon, sushi with a Latin flair, Brazilian beef, and other offerings from some of São Paulo's 30,000 restaurants and bars. Admission to several museums in São Paulo, including the excellent soccer museum, will also be free with your convention badge.

Brazil reflects a diversity almost as great as Rotary's: Paulistanos, as the people of São Paulo are known, have created a lively culture with influences from all over the world. One of the highlights of any Rotary convention is always hospitality night, where you can get to know local Rotarians. Monday night is your chance to experience thepaulistano lifestyle with the Rotarians of Brazil – but be sure to book early, as numbers are limited.

In Rotary, service and friendship go hand in hand. As you focus on the work of this Rotary year, I ask you not to lose sight of the importance of international friendship, and to register for the São Paulo convention now, atwww.riconvention.org.
