Best Pastel “Its Dogs Life” by Jeanette Graham, from Strathmerton. “The artist has really captured the character and nature of the kelpies, and has used the medium well, there is something wonderful and engaging about animals in paintings”
Best Acrylic “Dangerous Mail”.  By Col Brown, from Kangaroo Flat. “I love the way this artist tells a story, he uses the acrylic medium with precision, his brush work is faultless, he captures the pure essence of Australia in his work”.
Best Mixed Media “Here comes the rain again”.  By Janet Grealy, from Mt. Beauty. “The challenge of using mixed media can give the artist a means to describe texture and colour in very different way, this particular painting draws you in.”

  • Vincent Care helped by changing locks and other assistance
  • Primary Care Connect helped the family rebuild their lives
  • New partner Wayne found a lump in her breast and so she booked in to see the GP, which turned into a 2 week wait for ultrasound and mammogram of right breast
  • Katie remembers the silence in the room from the healthcare providers when getting the scans
  • Dr took her hands and said 'I'm sorry it's not good'
  • Friend /colleague Steph was in waiting room and asked to come in for support
  • Remembers the constant waiting , waiting, waiting, waiting for scans, waiting for referrals, appointments etc
  • Result was triple negative Ca with two tumours 
  • Reality check - cancer doesn't wait for a convenient time!
  • Keep teaching...
  • Keep parenting...
  • Eventually asked for help and (work wife) Steph Sparrow rallied a group of friends to contact medical professionals for earlier appointments
  • Wayne was in QLD when Katie got the diagnosis and came straight home
  • Steph stepped in and created the 'Titty Committee' book to track 
  • Still had not told children or school kids of the diagnosis however some had started to get suspicious that things were not right
  • Told her kids in the school holidays the news!
  • Principal of SMOTA told the whole school the news after the school holidays and SMOTA organised a 'turn pink for the day', where Katie was going to shave her head to raise money
  • Motto was to choose to live and laugh through treatment
  • Chemo is relentless...reflux, nausea, brain fog, bone pain! and metallick tastes
  • Steph and Wayne have seen me at my worst but never left my side
  • I have been fighting for 147 days, I'm tired, it's not over, but last treatment is this Friday 14th Feb (Valentines Day)
  • Plan is to dress up in a ballgown, and give out roses to the nurses
  • Planning a double mastectomy coming up with 8-10 hour surgery and a 3 month recovery time
  • Final message - you are stronger than you think and get yourself a good team!
Katie had a powerful, candid, personal story to tell that touched everyone in the room!

Sally Rose guest speaker
 
Guest Speaker
 
Sally Rose
  • Sally's vocation of teaching/literacy is still a passion
  • Literacy, understanding, reading and writing
  • Been in early childhood teaching for 40 years
  • Sally met Mem Fox and mentioned that she would like everybody to read a 'good book' and Mem replied that she would like everyone to be able to 'read a book'
  • Communication right from the beginning is a serve and return (listen and respond)
  • Children who are read to, sung to, pick up and learn things more quickly
  • All the things we do with children help to develop their early literacy skills
  • We try to get 5,000 words in their vocabulary before they start school (ideally 15,000)
  • Printed language helps to develop 'print literacy'
  • The signs around the room are a code labelling all the equipment but if you don't know what the code is (letters and numbers) you cannot decipher what is written
  • Children who are read to learn that print means something - consistency and can tell you the story before they can read themselves
  • Book language is different to spoken language
  • We have the opportunity to give children the skill to help them learn to read
  • Sally gave out an exercise to complete
  • If you want intelligent children, read to them. If you want very intelligent children, read to them more! - Albert Einstein

  • What's the solution? 
All ask people to join.
Be seen in the community. Publicise our success stories.
Approach the community.
Rotary information night.
Be clear on what our PRODUCT (=purpose!) is.
Promote diversity within the club. 
Don’t mention meetings, BBQs or fundraising!
Revisit our website – how can we make it more appealing?
  •

-New membership follow up.
-Set up mentor/buddy system for new members.
-Investigate Chat GPT.  
-Alternative membership models  
-Be transparent (costs, time commitment, expectations etc.)

-Share what you personally, our Rotary Club and Rotary internationally achieves.
  • -Move from a meeting-centric to service-centric club.
-Are our meetings productive and effective use of volunteers’ time?
-Need a good BALANCE between fundraising and service projects
-Find an issue in the community that we can support that will attract new members.
-We will move from a rigid to a flexible structure.
-We will increase member diversity (e.g. age, abilities, cultural, expertise).
-Change the perception that “you need to be invited” mindset.

Leadership
 
5 types of leaders
  • 1. transactional - get the job done
  • 2. charismatic - bring people along for the ride
  • 3. narcissistic - it's all about me
  • 4. transformational - to make changes, growing/changing others for good
  • 5. authentic - the leader who clearly understands their values and live their life by their values
PhD was over 100,000 words, the single most important thing that people want from their leaders is that they genuinely care about them/authenticity. More than half (50%) of what an organisation produces is directly related to its staff's connectedness to the leadership (wellbeing, fulfillment). Therefore, Leadership is a crucial part of an organisation's productivity. It enables people to do good things!

Guest Speaker
 
Michael Tymenson
 
Michael did a slideshow presentation on the 'Tour de France' trip the Giraffes Group did in August. The trip was a highlight, the whole family went over with Michael along with some of the 'Giraffe's riding group. 
 
They stayed for a few days with Kate Hodge's Sister and brother in-law. The bike tour was well organised and bikes were hired with their own measurements done to each rider's specs. The scenery was the main attraction and breathtaking. The 'real' Tour de France was coming through the towns a week or two after our group. 
 
There are many churches/castles, rivers and lakes to look at. 
After the riding tour Michael and his family toured around the country, including Venice and Switzerland. 
 
There were many photos and stories which made the trip sound like the chance of a lifetime

District Governor, Neta Kirby then inducted incoming President, Linda Boyd.
Linda in her address spoke on the Rotary International theme for 2024-25, ‘The Magic of Rotary”
The magic could be the over 1.4 million Rotarian in the world, perhaps the near eradication of Polio in the world, or supporting the eradication of malaria. Maybe it’s the myriads of international projects which work tirelessly to aid countries and individuals in dire need.
What makes Rotary Magic – quite simply - Rotary members. Linda said "I would like our club to be vibrant and fun, a club for Numurkah Township to view with pride. We will be listening to local people in our community, we will learn what please them, as well as what is lacking and what is required. We will continue to evolve, think outside the box, because any idea is better than no idea! We have a dynamic club, a great work ethic, and we are a team".
Linda then introduced her Board.
