Presiding Member:President Heidi Unferforben Speaker's Host: Gary Shmith Guest Speaker: Heather Croall, CEO Adelaide Fringe
“Welcome! Rotary opens opportunities to strengthen leadership, put service ideas into action, and enrich the lives of those in need.” President Heidi welcomed Rotarians, Rotaractors and guests to the meeting.
Birthday greetings were extended to Albert Bensimon, Christopher Smyth, Roy Scragg and Lorelle Mold. And the following members celebrated their anniversaries with the Club:
- Robert Depold - 21 years
- Zing Ta - 5 years
- Elizabeth Davis - 17 years
- David Collinson - 1 year
- Duan Kereru - 1 year
- Elizabeth Renton - 8 years
Members were reminded to check the Bulletin, Facebook and What's App for news and messages, and encouraged to contribute to our community projects by placing donations in the on line community contributions bowl. Members were also encouraged to attend the District Conference and were advised of the Rotary Peace Building online symposium coming up on April 21 and 22 this year. As guest speaker Heather Croall, understandably busy at this time of year, had to leave early, the normal order of the meeting was changed to allow Heather to speak about the Fringe before other business. Members eagerly collected their Fringe programs and I'm sure quite a few will be attending shows.
After guest speaker Heather had left, President Heidi inducted new member, Sorel Coward to our club, and Anthony O'Dea spoke with passion about the National Youth Science forum where he was a 'staffy' this year. See photos of the meeting here. Watch a video of the meeting below. |

 Launch of new strategic plan and Rotary Adelaide brand story
On Wednesday 10 February 2021 the Rotary Adelaide board endorsed the clubs new 2020-2025 strategic plan, including our own Rotary Adelaide brand story. Background Since July 2020 the Board of Rotary Adelaide has been developing a new strategic plan to take it forward for the next 5 years. To align with the vision of Rotary International and the Rotary Foundation, club members have worked collaboratively to set its vision, purpose and strategic objectives. A membership consultation workshop facilitated by Greg Knagge was conducted on Wednesday 2 September 2020 which was well attended by a broad and diverse representation of membership. As a part of this process, members were also invited to be involved to provide their perspective on the Rotary Adelaide story. The results of the consultation workshop were presented to members in November 2020. And now the new club strategic plan, as well as our own Rotary Adelaide brand story has now been adopted by the Board. Next steps Action plans have now been developed by the Club's Vice Presidents and directors and each month reports on progress towards achieving these actions will be presented to the Board. One key action, the development of a communications plan, is being led by Rajeev Kamineni and Jo Fiedler in partnership with our corporate partner NATION to develop the Rotary Adelaide communications plan. Thank you Rotary Adelaide for your collective impact in creating this new strategic plan and identifying our own story. A very special thank you to our own member Greg Knagge of NATION for his holistic thinking and strategic creativity. You can access a copy of the strategic plan and brand story here. Heidi Unferdorben President
