Our next official meeting is a breakfast meeting on Thursday 25 July at the Stamford Hotel. If you are unable to attend the meeting or will have guests attending, please email me at kmball@jelkamain.com or text me on 0402853929 by Wednesday lunchtime so that I can advise the Stamford Plaza about numbers attending. This will assist the Hotel in catering for the buffet breakfast they provide in the meeting room.
Last weekend members of the Club volunteered to be parking attendants at the Victor Harbor Hospital for the official opening of the Women’s & Children’s Hospital Foundation Beach House which is located at Encounter Lakes, Victor Harbor. The Beach House is South Australia’s first purpose-built holiday home for families with children with complex medical needs or in palliative care.

Our speaker this Thursday is d’Arcy Lunn who will talk about his experience with Rotary engagement and ‘Teaspoons of Change’ which he founded in 2014. d’Arcy has worked on the ground in polio eradication with UNICEF and in collaboration with Rotary in Pakistan, India, Uganda and South Sudan. He has also joined with Rotarians in Canada, New Zealand, Australia, UK, Brunei, Kyrgyzstan and other countries to promote the work of Rotary and polio eradication. In 2012 his work with Rotarians in Canada resulted in $240m for polio eradication from the Canadian Government which saw him receive his Honorary PHF. In 2014 d'Arcy founded Teaspoons of Change - small but significant ideas and actions that have a positive impact on people and the planet which activates and aligns business, education and government with the Global Goals, one teaspoon at a time.
