“Thank you so much Adrian to you and the team. The BBQ ran with absolute precision and we are so grateful to your service and support of our community. We managed to raise almost $40k today, which will all be invested into our Arts and STEM centre that we have an ambition to build. Thanks again and see you on Saturday at the election. Attached is a post I made on our social media.”

Zone 8 Regionalisation October Update |
17 October 2023 |
Your opinions and votes matter!
In this update:
Dear Rotary and Rotaract members,
It was great to see so many of you at our Pilot update webinars last month. A recorded session and the accompanying slide deck can be found here. Have your say in the Regional Council election
Currently clubs, through their President, are being asked to complete a club preferences form by the end of October to help them be placed into a RCG. More information on RCGs can be found here.
We encourage all members to consider what opportunities your club might be able to take advantage of as part of Regionalisation. You can watch a video explaining what Rotary Community Groups are and how they will be formed. Upcoming webinars
We look forward to seeing you at our October webinars via Zoom to answer questions on the Pilot. These sessions will be held on:
For more regular updates and to be a part of our reference group, subscribe here. You can have your say by visiting creatingtomorrowrotary.org or emailing us directly at [email protected].
Sincerely, Neville Parsons and Ingrid Waugh Regionalisation Pilot Steering Group Chair and Deputy Chair

National Youth Science Forum
Saturday 30 September, 2023
Dear Rotary Clubs across Australia,
Rotary is a Founding Partner of the National Youth Science Forum (NYSF), and every year Rotarians join our program as volunteers to support the program.
We are really excited to be able to move back to our residential NYSF Year 12 Program in January 2024, and we need your help to ensure that our students have the most amazing time!
The NYSF is seeking interest from volunteers who would like to share their time with the staff and students during the NYSF Year 12 Program in January 2024.
Volunteers with the NYSF derive a great sense of fulfilment and satisfaction from their work and NYSF is certainly very much enhanced by their generous efforts. You will get to meet and spend time with the next generation of STEM experts, while visiting some of Australia's most cutting edge STEM facilities.
Every January six to eight Rotary volunteers spend their time with us committing to:
If you would like to discuss this opportunity, here is the list of Rotary NYSF District Chairs who work closely with NYSF.
To find out more about the NYSF and what we do for our STEM students, please visit our website.

Can you support a student in need?
January's NYSF participants may still approach your Rotary Club with requests for funding. Students have until 1 November 2023 to pay their program invoice. Thank you to all Clubs who are supporting students! Haven't had a student approach your Club, but you have funding? Consider contacting your Rotary NYSF District Chair to see if there is a student in need elsewhere in your District, or donate to the NYSF Access & Equity Scholarship Fund. |

What it takes to be a Rotarian
There are members of the community who may have some misunderstandings about what it takes to be a Rotarian.
We are always looking for new members and, in fact, it is new people joining that keeps us alive as a Service club. From time to time I hear people say things that make me think they don't consider joining or even visiting Rotary for all the wrong reasons.
This article is about the things you don't need to join Rotary, and the things you do, just in case you are not sure. The other thing you should know is that we are a very friendly bunch of men and women and we have a lot of fun, as well as achieving some pretty good things in the community.
