7 May 2014 Edition President’s Report Last week Gail Freeman talked to us about Rotary Global History Fellowship – it certainly opened up
another area of Rotary to us – thanks Gail.
Last weekend Doug and Natalie from our Club and Laura Sparkes from Interact attended District Assemby
at Bega – sounds as if it was very worthwhile.
Bly Miers is giving her ‘me talk’ tonight – look forward to seeing you all there.

Instructions
Invitation to Rotarians To Lunch and the Presentation of RYPEN Certificates and Badges
on Sunday 18th May 2014 You are invited to attend a luncheon with your Sponsor Student and Camp Leaders on Sunday 18th May 2014 followed by presentation of RYPEN Certificates and Badges. Please indicate below if you will be attending lunch at the close of the RYPEN seminar starting at 12.30pm. The proceedings should finish around 1.30pm. We need to notify the caterers the number of extra people coming for lunch one week before the camp, so if the form below is not received and money is not paid at registration, there could be no lunch available. The cost for lunch will be $10 per person and will need to be paid by registration on Friday, so can you please organise payment prior to that day by cash/cheque made out to “District 9710 RYPEN”. This form is for extra people coming to lunch, not your sponsor student as they are already included.

Hi, Great news! We’ve been nominated to participate in the Grill’d Local Matters donation program at Grill'd Manuka this month. Every month, Grill’d donates $500 to local groups and asks their customers to decide who the money goes to. When customers buy a burger, they will receive a token to put into one of 3 jars representing different groups. Whoever has the most tokens at the end of the month receives $300. The other two groups receive $100 each. To do your bit to help our cause, spread the word and head on down to Grill'd Manuka located at 40-42 Franklin Street Manuka ACT 2603

MUNA 2014 MUNA 2014 dates have been announced. The event will take place from Friday 15th to Sunday 17th August 2014, again at the Museum of Australian Democracy in Canberra. The event will again be sponsored by the Australian National University. Broad details are provided below. Additional information and registration forms will be available soon. Applications close on 31 May 2014 MUNA, the Model United Nations Assembly, is based on a continuing successful project, originally organised by the Rotary Club of Forbes, NSW, which has now been adopted by Rotary Districts and is enthusiastically supported by the United Nations.

World Ovarian Cancer Day
Thursday 8th May is World Ovarian Cancer Day!
In the lead up to the day we’re asking people to take a
very quick and simple step to sign a pledge to share the
word on World Ovarian Cancer Day. Simply add your
email address to the World Ovarian Cancer Day website at it.ly/WOCDpledge and you will
receive an e-card on 8 May that you can forward to friends and family. Our aim is for everyone
who has signed the pledge to send it on to at least five people asking them to send it on to at
least five people and so on.
Through these simple actions on a global scale on this day, we anticipate this will go viral and
reach thousands and thousands of women worldwide with important messages about ovarian
cancer risks and symptoms.
