Rotary Fellowships are international groups that share a common passion.
Being part of a fellowship is a fun way to make friends around the world, explore a hobby or profession, and enhance your Rotary experience.
HOW TO JOIN A FELLOWSHIP
Memberships in a fellowship is open to any interested individual. You can contact a fellowship directly by googling Rotary Fellowships and selecting a group you may be in interested in.
There are 132 different fellowships available for rotarians to join.
The Youth committee led by Liz Bligh has been given a potential candidates name for this program. That is so good.
Liz is following up with this fantastic opportunity for both the candidate and Warrnambool Daybreak.
Usually hard to get a candidate for this program, so hopefully we can secure this possibility before any of the other local clubs beat us.

Currently 1 in 7 Australians has some form of hearing loss, this is projected to increase to 1 in 5 by 2060.
Research currently indicates that this might include an increased risk of developing dementia.
Hearing loss is associated with cognitive incline, similarly, that treating hearing loss may improve cognitive incline.
Get your hearing checked annually, very important.
