President’s News COG Newsletter Wednesday 16 September
Meeting last week Wednesday 9 September I hope you enjoyed our meeting last week and guest speaker Bryan Harris – District Coordinator of the Safe Water Saves Lives (SWSL) and the Water & Sanitation Rotary Action Group (WASRAG). Introduced by Paul Haylock, Bryan, provided an interesting overview of SWSL and comment on some recent water projects conducted by other clubs. As explained by Bryan, the purpose of Safe Water Saves Lives is to provide support to Clubs and Districts for water and sanitation projects by assisting clubs to develop partnerships and by assisting with planning and executing projects as well as providing technical advice. We could, join other clubs seeking partners or make a financial contribution to a new or an existing project: eg Aquaboxes. We would welcome members input on this topic. Suggestions to International & District Director, Paul Haylock. It was great to see John Paul Fowler, Norm O’Flaherty and Brian Sincock at the meeting last week.

Thank you so much for supporting Cara at our Walk
With Me event on Sunday, August 30.
It was our second year co-hosting the walk and such
a great day to celebrate diversity and inclusivity in
our community. At Walk With Me it’s not about
walking or rolling far or fast, it’s about completing the
walk as a community.
Walk With Me wouldn’t be possible without your
support and we are truly grateful to you and the
Morialta Rotary Club “BBQ Crew”.
Thank you also for your ongoing support of Cara.
When you support our work, you’re supporting nearly
600 children and adults living with disabilities and their
families. Cara works with individuals and families to
live good lives in the community through our long-
term and short-term accommodation, Camps for Kids
program, our Kids Club day program and through
volunteering and advocacy.
Please head to our Facebook page to review & like
our photo gallery of the day HERE.
I have also attached a couple of photos of the BBQ
from the day.
Thank you again.
Natalie and Amy
Kind Regards
Natalie

Campbelltown library and community chess teams festivities on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Most improved chess players awarded, congratulations Nuwin and Connor! Thank you Rotary Club of Morialta for cooking an amazing BBQ! Thank you Vincent Tarzia MP for the trophies and your support! What a great day! Graeme told us all 107 sausages were eagerly eaten by the group of students. We think there were just over 30 students and MP Vincent Tarzia supported the event with trophies. Vincent indicated he is keen to continue his support as we work towards the nationals with the Campbelltown students.

BioBlitz
18th and 19th September 2015
The BioBlitz will involve teams of scientists working with the public in a race against the clock to
discover and record the life at Morialta. They are a fun opportunity for members of the public to have a
hands-on experience and to contribute to scientific research through Citizen Science. This event will
target the local community and encourage visitors to the park to discover the fascinating wildlife on
their doorstep.
The BioBlitz will run over 2 days and will commence on a Friday morning with a series of hands-on
activities for local school classes. From Friday afternoon through to Saturday afternoon, scientists will
work with the public to survey the local biodiversity of the park. Surveys will include searching for and
recording mammals, frogs, reptiles, bats, insects, plants and birds.
Read more about Morialta Bioblitz on the Discovery Circle website.
Join us at these hands-on, fun events, designed around making discoveries, sharing talents, igniting
interests and recording our fascinating local wildlife. Come along to one session, or stay for a few!
Register online to book a session. Its free! The agenda is also available on the registration page. I
