At two of our recent meetings, we were very fortunate to welcome two thought-provoking guest speakers.
Area Six Governor, Bruce Whitley, gave us an update on Rotary’s End Polio Now Campaign. "We’re close to eradicating polio, but we’re not done yet. We still need funds to continue immunization and surveillance efforts."
The screening of the movie "I Am Woman", raised $1,440, making a total of $2,440 contributed by our Club, so far this fiscal year, to Rotary's End Polio Now Campaign to help get us closer to the finish line. A huge thank you to all of you who came along to see the movie. If you would like to discover more, please visit https://www.rotary.org/en/our-causes/ending-polio
Our second Guest Speaker, Dr Jarvis Hayman, Chair of Interplast Australia explained what Interplast is all about.
Interplast sends teams of volunteer plastic reconstructive surgeons, anaesthetists, nurses and allied health professionals to provide life-changing surgery and medical training to 17 countries across the Asia Pacific region. To find out more about the wonderful work they do, please visit: https://interplast.org.au/. To help Change a Future Now, our Club donated $1,000 to this very worthy cause.
