                                WHY I ATTEND ROTARY CONVENTIONS.


                                Friendship - Meeting old and new friends.
                                Knowledge of Rotary – from other Rotarians, from speakers, at booths in House
                             of Fellowship
                                Inspiration – from main platform speakers, from speaking to other Rotarians,
                             from attending workshops.
                                Sightseeing opportunities – before, during and after convention.
                                Entertainment - World class entertainment at functions and main platform
                             sessions.
                                Experiencing different cultures – so many different nationalities attend from all
                             parts of the world.


   It gives me a new vision of the possibilities of Rotary involvement and action in the world, locally, nationally
and internationally.
   Unfortunately Glennis is unable to accompany me on these occasions. I am sure that the experience
would even be better for those whose partners were able to attend also.

OUR COMMUNITY SERVICE
RHIAN SHEPHARD – PhD STUDENT

 Congratulations to Rhian Shephard, one of our PhD students who has been selected as a finalist to make
a presentation to the CSANZ/ISHR conference in Perth in August. The CSANZ/ISHR conference is run
by the Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand (CSANZ) and also the International Society for
Heart Research (ISHR).

It is basically a conference at which cardiologists and cardiology-based-researchers present their
groundbreaking work.

The conference is pretty much broken up into the CSANZ part -- which focuses more on genetics,
human studies, and even imaging and techniques that cardiologist will find useful... The ISHR part
(which is what Rhian is presenting in) is more experimental, molecular and "nitty-gritty-science" type
stuff...

Rhian is giving an oral presentation for the prize session, "ISHR/CSANZ student investigator finalist
presentations".

                                     inspirational quote from past Rotary leaders. December's quote:

                                     ―Service in the Rotarian sense is a mental process. It is an attitude of
                                     mind which relates persons and things with action. Thoughtfulness
                                     of others is in reality the basis of Rotary service.‖

INCOMING GENERAL SECRETARY TALKS ABOUT HIS
PRIORITIES
   By Ryan Hyland
Rotary International News -- 31 May 2011


                                       Secretary John Hewko outlined his priorities during an address to
                                    Rotarians at the fourth plenary of the 2011 RI Convention in New
                                    Orleans, Louisiana, USA.

                                    Hewko said his top priorities include ―better connecting Rotarians
                                    with the Secretariat, increasing awareness as to what the Secretariat
                                    can offer, and making sure the Secretariat is an effective, efficient,
                                    and useful resource for clubs, so that clubs are able to grow and carry
                                    out the mission of Rotary.‖

                                    Hewko, who will take office 1 July, said the future of Rotary is
                                    bright. Download his convention speech and see the video highlights.

                                   "We will rid the world of the terrible scourge of polio -- we will rid
                                   the world of this terrible disease -- and then we will be bold and
                                   aggressive and identify and conquer the next big global challenge,"
he said. "We will redouble our public relations efforts to enhance our brand and image so that the world
better appreciates and understands the great works of Rotary and the value of connecting through
fellowship."

  • 2. Rotary Club of Parramatta City Guest Speaker –Keith Henning WHY I ATTEND ROTARY CONVENTIONS. Friendship - Meeting old and new friends. Knowledge of Rotary – from other Rotarians, from speakers, at booths in House of Fellowship Inspiration – from main platform speakers, from speaking to other Rotarians, from attending workshops. Sightseeing opportunities – before, during and after convention. Entertainment - World class entertainment at functions and main platform sessions. Experiencing different cultures – so many different nationalities attend from all parts of the world. It gives me a new vision of the possibilities of Rotary involvement and action in the world, locally, nationally and internationally. Unfortunately Glennis is unable to accompany me on these occasions. I am sure that the experience would even be better for those whose partners were able to attend also. SOME OTHER COMMENTS BY ATTENDEES The best part of an RI Convention is “the friendships and the inspiration to go home and do a bit more” Astrid Urbye. “the exchange of knowledge, the embracing of culture and the establishment of friendships.” Manny Balane “the Fellowship, exchange of Rotary stories/experiences and the swapping of pins.” Barb Mackenzie “Fellowship, exchange of ideas for new projects, making Rotary friends from different countries.” Arun Bhargava “the people you meet.” Tatiana Saliba 2012 ROTARY INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION BANGKOK, THAILAND. 6-9TH MAY 2012 Registration is now open.

  • 3. Rotary Club of Parramatta City OUR COMMUNITY SERVICE RHIAN SHEPHARD – PhD STUDENT Congratulations to Rhian Shephard, one of our PhD students who has been selected as a finalist to make a presentation to the CSANZ/ISHR conference in Perth in August. The CSANZ/ISHR conference is run by the Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand (CSANZ) and also the International Society for Heart Research (ISHR). It is basically a conference at which cardiologists and cardiology-based-researchers present their groundbreaking work. The conference is pretty much broken up into the CSANZ part -- which focuses more on genetics, human studies, and even imaging and techniques that cardiologist will find useful... The ISHR part (which is what Rhian is presenting in) is more experimental, molecular and "nitty-gritty-science" type stuff... Rhian is giving an oral presentation for the prize session, "ISHR/CSANZ student investigator finalist presentations". ARH INDIGENOUS HEALTH SCHOLARSHIP AWARDED. Ms Wendy Robinson, a Blacktown resident, has been awarded an ARH Indigenous Health Scholarship for 2011.

  • 4. Rotary Club of Parramatta City QUOTE OF THE MONTH: THOUGHTFULNESS OF OTHERS Each month, we highlight Rotary’s history and share an inspirational quote from past Rotary leaders. December's quote: ―Service in the Rotarian sense is a mental process. It is an attitude of mind which relates persons and things with action. Thoughtfulness of others is in reality the basis of Rotary service.‖ — Frank L. Mulholland, 1914-15 Rotary president, in The Rotarian , September 1927 INCOMING GENERAL SECRETARY TALKS ABOUT HIS PRIORITIES By Ryan Hyland Rotary International News -- 31 May 2011 Secretary John Hewko outlined his priorities during an address to Rotarians at the fourth plenary of the 2011 RI Convention in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. Hewko said his top priorities include ―better connecting Rotarians with the Secretariat, increasing awareness as to what the Secretariat can offer, and making sure the Secretariat is an effective, efficient, and useful resource for clubs, so that clubs are able to grow and carry out the mission of Rotary.‖ Hewko, who will take office 1 July, said the future of Rotary is bright. Download his convention speech and see the video highlights. "We will rid the world of the terrible scourge of polio -- we will rid the world of this terrible disease -- and then we will be bold and aggressive and identify and conquer the next big global challenge," he said. "We will redouble our public relations efforts to enhance our brand and image so that the world better appreciates and understands the great works of Rotary and the value of connecting through fellowship."
