Guest Speaker District Governor David Jones

Update on the District

David’s first experience of Rotary was when he was a member of the Rotaract Club of Noarlunga from 1978 until 1985. During that time he met and married Lyn, a teacher at Murray Bridge and a Rotaractor from the Rotaract Club of Mobilong. Thirty three years later they are the proud parents of three adult sons with tertiary degrees in Law and Engineering, two of which are now living and working interstate and all of whom became engaged in 2019.

David commenced his working career with the Savings Bank of SA in 1974. After completing a Diploma in Banking, he worked in Head Office Accounting and Credit Management.

In 1996, David joined Australia Post to undertake a role as Contact Manager for SA/NT during which time he worked on several pricing and contract system projects in Australia Post headquarters in Melbourne before retiring in 2016.

David joined the Rotary Club of Mitcham in 2003, and served as President in 2007/08. From 2006 to 2010 he was a member of the District 9520 RYLA/RYPEN and Youth Exchange Committees and in 2012 became a member of the combined Districts 9500/9520 Indigenous Health Scholarship Committee until recently.

In May 2011, he was a team leader for the 9520 Group Study Exchange Team that visited D2350 Sweden for 4 weeks. He has also served as District Secretary and Conference Treasurer and in 2017 became Assistant Governor Group 7 which was a role he found very rewarding.

Apart from his Rotary commitments David enjoys a weekly encounter on the golf course. Both he and Lyn enjoy long walks, working in their large garden, travelling and catching up with family and friends.

Guest Speaker Cr. Jane Russo GAICD FGLF13

I'm just Olivia - Through the eyes of a parent

Growing up without a gender, my child does not identify as male or female. Raising a non binary child in a world that is full of gender stereotypes and social constructs, it’s been challenging to navigate the world and the judgement of others. Our journey has just begun and we have lots to learn but we want to bring others along to broaden awareness in an effort for better understanding and tolerance of difference. We may not all be the same but we are all equal.

Jane Russo is the business owner of Allstone Pty Ltd, a supplier of natural stone and as a consultant with Enabling Solutions. She has 20 years’ experience within the business, not for profit and government sectors with expertise in small business, education, youth, health, community services, volunteering and sport industries.

A passionate volunteer, Jane is a Councillor for the City of Unley and holds multiple board roles. She holds a Master of Educational Management, is a graduate of both the Australian Institute of Company Directors and the Leaders Institute of South Australia. In 2018 she was awarded Sport SA’s Volunteer of the Year Award.

Guest Speaker: Chris Tugwell

Creating the River Murray International Dark Sky Reserve – What does the night sky have to do with Landcare?

A dark sky reserve is like world heritage listing for the stars. But it isn’t just about the stars and astronomy. Light pollution is becoming a major issue not only for scientists. Dark places are becoming rare. A lack of darkness impacts nocturnal wildlife, migration routes, breeding patterns, plant pollination, and everyone who just wants a good night’s sleep.

This presentation will try to explain how darkness is good for all of us.

Chris Tugwell has been on the committee of Mid Murray Landcare SA since 2015 and Chairman since 2017. He is the driving force behind Australia’s first Dark Sky Reserve; the 3,500 square kilometre River Murray International Dark Sky Reserve in SA’s Murraylands. Chris worked for nearly four years with the Mid Murray council, government departments and members of the Astronomical Society of SA to make the Reserve a reality. They finally achieved international accreditation in October 2019.

When he is not admiring the astonishing night sky, Chris and his partner enjoy the 80,000 trees and bushes they have planted on their 150 hectare Big Bend bush block as well as the many resident wombats.

Chris is also an actor, playwright and film maker.
