Rotary Friendship Exchange (RFE) to Rotary District 5020 west coast USA and Canada in July 2019

Rotary Friendship Exchange is open to all Rotarians and partners. The exchange is for 2 weeks, with the team members being hosted with Rotarians from the west coast of USA and Canada, the area including Seattle and Vancouver Island.

You can apply to be part of a team of up to twelve, to participate in this great Rotary experience of culture, friendship and hospitality from 2^nd - 16 July 2019 in District 5020. This is a very popular area for Australians to visit and could provide a great opportunity to visit other parts of USA and Canada either before or after the exchange – eg cruising the Inside Passage, seeing Alaska?

Rotary travel insurance will cover the exchange plus up to 60 days private travel.

The incoming visit to our District by Rotarians from District 5020 is planned to occur in November 2019 and clubs of outbound team members are expected to host the inbound team, during their 14 - 15 days experience within District 9640.

Team Membership Application is attached or can be obtained from

RFE Chair Wendy Scarlett on 0407 130449 or email: wendy.scarlett51@gmail.com

Completed Applications are to be submitted to the District Rotary Friendship Committee by Wednesday 7^th November 2018

Kind regards

Proposed Rotarian Action Group for Women and Youth

You are invited to be a founding member of a Rotarian Action Group for Women, Girls and Youth– WRAGGY.

RI requirements are that we have 50+ members ahead of submitting our application, which we are on target to achieve by the end of the month.

Founding members will participate in the structure and operation of the new RAG including voting in the members of the Board. Fees will be part of the discussion.

The plan will be to use the group to promote members’ projects at Rotary conferences and conventions to encourage female and youth engagement and leadership.

Currently the female membership of Rotary is around 22 percent and the average age in clubs is rising dramatically. We need to find ways to attract and retain women and youth and have Rotary influence similar leadership changes in our communities.

What will you get out of belonging to WRAGGY? Think of it as ‘value added’ for your Rotary membership!

Email me Catherine.r.bonifant@gmail.com asap to be included as a Founding member of WRAGGY.
