G’day!
 
It’s been a busy week for Stanthorpe Rotarians!
I’d like to thank the members who came to help prepare the brekkie for the visiting Cadillac la salle Club members. We’ve already received a thank you email from them. Most got home on Friday but a few were delayed by the floods.
 
Saturday’s Heritage event at the Railway Station was postponed. Jim Barnes will let us know when it’s on.
The Satelite Club had a very successful confectionary stall at the Reinactment of ‘Tin Town’. By all accounts the afternoon was very successful. Thank you for your hard work.
 
 
 
The next Ageing Well seminar is on Friday at 10:00 at Hilton Street. Please let people know it’s on.
It’s great to finally receive some sunshine. Enjoy!
 
Jim Baxter

Some information from District Foundation Director.
Below are some notes from a previous Rotary Club Bulletin which was compiled after Phil Fairweather our guest speaker on a Covid Zoom.
 
Rotary began in 1905 with founder Paul Harris and a few friends in Chicago beginning community service. 
In 1917, the Rotary International President, Arch Klumph, began promoting the idea of donating money for causes and in 1936 the concept began to take traction, but it wasn't until Paul Harris's death in 1947 that the concept of the giving to the Fellowship took hold and encouraged people to put money in for global and community projects.  The idea if you gave $1000 you would receive a Paul Harris Fellowship.  Clubs now provide "Centurian Towers" to members to encourage annual donations of $100 under the initiative "Every Rotarian Every Year".  It is easy then to put a $2 coin in the tower each week at at the end of the year $100 can be handed over to the treasurer for forwarding to the Foundation.
Some members choose to make annual contributions directly to the foundation, not through the Club.  Either way, it all helps the causes Rotary focusses on. For every $1 Rotary gives towards the Prevention and Treatment of Polio, Bill Gates foundation adds $2, so when you give $1, $3 goes to Polio.
 
Did you know that at our Stanthorpe Museum, there is an "iron lung".  It used to belong to the Stanthorpe Hospital.
