Greg’s Gazette:

We had the pleasure of Kerin Hayden from Youth

Opportunities visiting us again this week with an

update on how the program was going. For those

who do not know Youth Opportunities is a Personal

Leadership Training Program for 15 year old school

students who are disengaged from school. The

causes are varied and can be linked to a

dysfunctional family, bullying (victim or aggressor),

or just being introverted. Our club has supported

this program in the past through events like our quiz

nights and the Reel Event movie night.

Kerin told us how the 10 week program was a real

help to these kids in making some of the most

important decisions of their young lives that will

affect their futures like no other. The program is

currently being run in 25 schools in this state only

which they are looking to increase with the

assistance of Rotary clubs and other similar

organizations, and the schools of course. Our closest

school running this program is Charles Campbell

Secondary School where Past President Ian

Carmen has been to every graduation since its

inception there.

An example of the effectiveness of this program was

Craigmore High School where the retention of

students in year 10 through to year 12 has risen

from 33% to 97% since its introduction there which

is an amazing result. The state average is 92%

retention in schools where this program is run.

Kerin showed us a memory game they run with the

students, where we had to look at all the blue

objects around the room, and then close our eyes

remembering these objects. The trick was when

Kerin asked us to name objects of different colours.

This was an exercise in opening up the mind. Not

easy for anyone I must say, even trying to name the

blue objects in the room (did you say you could

name 9 Mark T??)

The program turns 15 this year and Youth

Opportunities is trying to double their income

from $1.8m to $3.6m, not an easy ask but I am sure

we and other clubs/organizations will do our bit to

try to help them get there.

Visiting Kiwi

We also had the pleasure of the company of visiting

Rotarian Christine Meredith from the Eastern

Hutt Club, New Zealand. Eastern Hutt celebrated

its 50th Anniversary this year. The group shot below

comes from Eastern Hutt’s own website, so don’t

accuse editor Mark T of airbrushing.

I will be absent again next week but Past President

Rita Stirling has volunteered to run the meeting in

my absence, thanks Rita!! See you all again in a

fortnight.

Boring day; nothing to report.

1942 – Ocean Liner 'The Queen Mary' accidentally slices through an escort ship, killing 338.

1950 – The comic strip 'Peanuts', by Charles M Schulz, makes its debut in seven newspapers

across America

Magill Sunrise members are now enrolled on Roving Lifestyles

Access to the Roving Lifestyles website (http://www.rovinglifestyles.com.au/) has now been

provided to each of the Rotary Club of Magill Sunrise members.

We can now enrol our members and friends - shop - and start to reap the benefits.

A reminder - How it works

Merchants advertise their products or special deals on the Roving Lifestyles website.

Participating Clubs register (done).

Members of the Club are enrolled as ‘Rovers’ (done).

Rovers can log-on to the website and have access to exclusive offers from trusted merchants on

products and services at a fair and sustainable price.

A percentage of each sale is remitted to a nominated Rotary Club or program.

As a member, you may invite your Family or Friends to also enrol and shop for products and

services - meaning more benefits for everyone.

What’s Next?

You should now have received your log-on details and further instructions from Lindsay Davis

(the Magill Sunrise club coordinator).

Log in, reset your password and enter any other details you wish to store.

Check out some of the products already being advertised. Buy if you wish as a percentage of

the purchase price will be donated back to Magill Sunrise (minimum 5%).

Then:

• suggest other merchants, products and services that could be on Roving Lifestyles

• invite family and friends to also become Rovers (and further assist our club).

Why do it?

Magill Sunrise has a special opportunity to help develop this new initiative which aims to make

giving to the community a part of everyday life.
