Cancellation of 2020 Engadine Rotary Christmas Carols

Hear ye ! Hear ye !

The Rotary Club of Engadine regretfully announces the cancellation of our annual Community Carols night.

Our Carols Committee has been in discussions with the Shire council and has been advised that due to the current restricts still in place around social distancing and group gatherings, that our Carols event cannot comply and would not likely be approved this year. Further, under the current virus restrictions in the State, it is unlikely that they would be lifted before Christmas ; our Carols are normally held in mid December each year.

Also with such a large gathering, this Club is not able to collect details on those that attend the event for contact tracing. Should an breakout of the virus occur then the club would be in a difficult legal situation.

As a consequence, Engadine Rotary regretfully has decided to cancel this year's event.

Hopefully we will see you at next year's Carols in December 2021.

But be advised that Engadine Rotary is still continuing with a number of Humanitarian projects such as:-

supporting the One Meal program ( https://www.facebook.com/onemeal14/ ) and
Malaria Vaccine Research ( https://imb.uq.edu.au/article/2018/07/potential-malaria-killer-designed-australian-researchers ) amongst a number of other similar projects.

We have now re-introduced the Engadine Community Markets held on the first Sunday of each month. See ( https://www.facebook.com/engadinecommunitymarkets/ ) and
are selling tickets in the Cook Raffle which can be purchased for our members each Saturday. ( See http://www.cookcommunityclassic.com.au/fundraising-raffle/ ) for details

Finally be advised that Engadine Rotary has recommenced its regular Monday night meetings at the Engadine Bowling Club within the Virus requirements. Those wishing to attend are asked to call Sam on 9520 3264 by Friday 4.00 pm before each meeting.

Like our current logo below Rotary Opens Opportunities so why not consider becoming a member ( see our Website for membership details at ( https://engadinerotary.org.au/page/become-a-member )

Rotary in Australia approaching a major Milestone

How long has Rotary been in Australia ?

Twenty , Thirty , Forty Fifty years ? Well you're a long way short . Let me tell you about the story of Rotary In Australia

From a beginning in Chicago USA in February 1905, through a vision of Paul Harris (1868-1947), Rotary began to grow in the USA ,Canada ,Uk and Irelend, (https://www.rotary.org/en/looking-back-wwi) . Even during World War I, Rotary in Britain increased from 9 to 22 clubs,^[13] with other early clubs in Cuba in 1916, Philippines in 1919 and India in 1920.

In 1921, Rotary International ( then called the International Association of Rotary Clubs) decided to expand Rotary into Australia and New Zealand by sending two Canadian Commissioners Jim Davidson and James Layton Ralston, to establish clubs in Sydney ,Melbourne, Auckland and Wellington.

About Our Club's Territory

Being surrounded by national parks, Engadine has within its territory , some of the most spectacular coast line and bush land in this state . As you enter the district from either the north, south or west , you soon become aware of the surrounding National Parks and the rugged nature of the countryside . The Royal National Park is Australia's First dedicated national park and the world's second. In the Heathcote National park, the ridges and drier slopes are covered in forest dominated by angophoras and eucalypts such as bloodwood, greygum, Sydney peppermint, and scribbly gum. Following the upper reaches of the Woronora River leads to the Woronora Dam and reservoir which form part of Sydney's water supply

Photos of some of the local Scenes appear in the above Carousel. They are Lady Carrington Drive National Park , Woronora Dam and Reservoir , Stanwell Park from Bald Hill , on the Woronora River are Kingfisher Pool, Engadine Lagoon and The Needles , and finally Historic Helensburgh with original Railway tunnel (1884) and Station (1889) reference Helensburgh Historical Society

Each year Rotary International (RI) elects a new President and he or she introduces a new Theme that the President wants to promote. It is always introduced at the Rotary International Assembly of incoming district Governors. The RI President for 2020-2021 is Holger Knaack, a member of the Rotary Club of Herzogtum Lauenburg-Mölln, Germany, His theme for his presidential year "Rotary opens opportunities" is seen on the Utube video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKQfySk51Fo

He asks " Rotarians to create opportunities that strengthen their leadership, help put service ideas into action, and improve the lives of those in need."

In his address to the RI Assembly in May this year he said that " Rotary isn’t just a club for people to join, but rather “an invitation to endless opportunities.” He emphasized that Rotary creates pathways for members to improve their lives and the lives of those they help through service projects. Continuing he stated that “We believe that our acts of service, big and small, create opportunities for people who need our help",adding that "Rotary creates leadership opportunities and gives members the chance to travel the world to put their service ideas into action and make lifelong connections. “Everything we do opens another opportunity for someone, somewhere,”

So why not join Engadine Rotary and see the doors of opportunity open for you. Contact our Club Secretary at https://engadinerotary.org.au/singleemail/contactus
