Conference starts tomorrow

Our Conference starts at 8.30 tomorrow morning – and so does the Conference On-line We look forward to seeing you at The Concourse tomorrow (Sunday) morning and trust you enjoy the day. The On-line Conference is an initiative of DG Graeme to supplement the content at the District Conference itself.  You, others from our District who are not attending, other Rotarians throughout Australia and the rest of the world, and the public generally will all have a chance to tune-in.   The Conference On-line starts – lke the Conference itself – at 8.30 on Sunday.  Over the next two weeks, you will have a chance to re-live aspects of the Conference, discover new ideas, interact and learn more about Rotary, our clubs, and our district.   Of course, the on-line content will continue for a period even after the two weeks has been and gone – giving clubs a chance to use the content at one or more club meetings. We hope you enjoy both of the Conferences.   Streaming Live For the first time in the history of our District (and its predecessors), the District Conference is being beamed live direct from the Concert Hall at The Concourse – starting at 8.30am and throughout the day!   Join us wherever you are in the world – and tell your friends.

Help End Polio

Kamahl Joins Fight Against Polio

One of Australia’s most loved and enduring vocal artists, Kamahl, is the latest music icon to join Rotary International’s fight against polio. 

For many decades, Kamahl has prospered among Australia’s leading musical talent and has supported many Rotary projects.  In a generous gesture, he is making his Heart and Soul album available for sale to Rotarians at $19.99, including GST, packaging and post. 

Each album will carry the now famous END POLIO NOW! sticker and is the perfect gift or prize for end of year Rotary competitions. 

There is a guaranteed $5 donation to PolioPlus from every album sold.
