Presiding Member: President Paul Denver
Speaker's Host: Kay Dowling
Guest Speaker: Emeritus Professor Michael Sawyer
“As Rotarians, we offer service to change lives, through valuing the fellowship, friendship and fun in our Club. We recognise and acknowledge the diverse backgrounds and needs of our members and community, from the original inhabitants of the land we share to the successive generations that followed. Together we have a collective impact.”
President Paul, resplendent in a jeweled head dress, welcomed guest speaker Michael Sawyer to a special meeting focussing on Lifting the Lid on Mental Illness. He also welcomed members and visiting Rotarians, including Australian Rotary Health Director, John Cambell, Jane Gascoigne from Campbelltown and RCA Indigenous Health Student, Aidan Barbo, Rotaractors and other guests.
Birthdays were celebrated this week by Krystyna Wielgosz, Kelly Elsey and Ian Ford. Anniversaries were celebrated by Rajeev Kamineni, Lorelle Molde and Leonard Woodley - who celebrated a magnificent 47 years as a member.
In a touching farewell, President Paul asked members to stand as he spoke of the passing of member Bob Hastwell, recalling his achievements as a life long member of Rotary. He will be sadly missed.
This week's Spotlight on Service was presented by Kay Dowling who gave a brief overview of Australian Rotary Health before introducing guest speaker, Emeritus Professor Michael Sawyer.
Michael spoke about the particular challenges facing young people whose family history, both genetic and circumstance, made it difficult, but not impossible, for them to attain positive life outcomes. Early recognition and intervention was the key.

Magic Show - Volunteers required...
Volunteers required for Sunday 31st October
The Magic Show is one of the largest generators of funds for our club. It is the culmination of telemarketing for businesses and individuals to sponsor children with special needs to attend a world class magic show. Each year the show travels around Australia and New Zealand entertaining children and raising money for service clubs.
This year we expect to entertain over 2,000 children with special needs with their carers or family. It is really special for them.
Volunteers are required to assist in the running of this year’s event. Our volunteers help with managing the special car park, ticket collection and to welcome any wheelchair users and patrons with disabilities.
This year the show will again be held at the Thebarton Theatre on Henley Beach Road.
There will be three performances and all on Sunday 31st October. The first performance will be at 11.00 am followed by the second one at 2.00 pm and the third at 5pm.
Volunteers are required to be at the theatre 45 minutes before each performance. You will only be required for about one hour. Once we have everyone seated you are welcome to stay and see this world class show. We require a minimum of 6 volunteers for each performance and appeal to everyone who is willing to help to contact me either in person, at meetings or by phone or email.
Please give this your urgent consideration and assist us with this very important fundraiser for our Club.
Many thanks
