every ounce of courage they had to enter the Rotary Best Speaker Awards.<br />
<br />
Running it for the second year, Plimmerton Rotary held Wellington
heats as well as the National Finals on Saturday 28 May 2016. The heats
for the Wellington participants took place in the morning and the top
three place-getters were chosen to enter the finals in the afternoon.
They were joined by a further five from the North and South Island who
had already got through their regional heats.<br />
<br />
A video of the whole event is available on request, but in the meantime, this 6 minute <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/0pytragide3s3vj/Rotary%20Speech%20Event%20Zune%20std%20quality.wmv?oref=e&n=22758628" title="Best Speaker video extract">extract</a>
will give you a taste of the pride, astonishment, humility and
amazement we all experienced as we laughed at their creativity and cried
as we got a taste of the mountains they all have to climb.<br />

This
initiative was originally sparked by a small paragraph in Rotary Down
Under in 2014 about a fledgling Lincoln Rotary Youth Project - a public
speaking opportunity for young folk aged 16–30 with an intellectual
disability.<br />
<br />
The Plimmerton Rotary Youth Committee, spearheaded by Julie McLagan,
picked up the idea and ran a successful pilot in 2015. Feedback was so
positive and encouraging from participants, their families and support
workers, that the club has now taken on this project as an important
part of its annual programme.<i> “I know that such projects do Rotary proud!”</i> said Julie.<br />
<br />
The whole day was a very happy success. Each participant was
presented with a framed Certificate of Merit. There were trophies and
prize money for each of the national place-getters.<br />
<br />
The project was
fully sponsored by local businesses. Tommy’s Real Estate picked up the
main costs. One parent said,<i> “Many thanks to you, your team, and
Rotary for the wonderful speech competition held this afternoon. We were
very impressed with everybody we met and with the obvious effort that
you had all gone to, to make it such a special occasion. The corsages
were a lovely touch, as were the name tags, the generous afternoon tea,
the technical support, the various roles you all played, not to mention
the very generous prizes.”</i><br />

The
eventual winner, Katrina Sneath from Johnsonville, Wellington, is
pictured here. She has quite recently been appointed a Youth
Parliamentarian and is already very proactive in her role.<br />
<br />
The second place-getter was Jeremy McKenzie from Whakatane (pictured here). He talked about his passion for geography.<br />
<br />
Samuel Goddard from Christchurch was placed third. He told us that he has Aspergers and that his dream is to become independent.<br />
<br />
His mother said,<i> “…It really was very special and lovely to see
these young adults being given an opportunity to shine. I know Sam has
gained so much confidence from the whole experience.”</i><br />
Editor’s note: You can read the article about Samuel that appeared in the New Zealand Herald on 10 May <a class="tracked" href="http://m.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11636242" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

The feedback has been amazing and very humbling. Here are just a very few extracts from the many we received …<br />
<i>“…One of the outcomes we would all like is for our young people
with disabilities to be fully integrated into the community. This
competition is one way of contributing to that end and illustrating just
what these young people are capable of. Our community is all the better
for it.”</i><br />
<i>“…Thank you again for giving Matthew this opportunity. His
confidence has gone ahead in leaps and bounds. Starjam are doing a story
on him. It is our wish that his story will give hope to other families
whose children are diagnosed autistic. He </i><i>entered the
competition to boost his confidence as he is going to be best man at his
brother's wedding early next year. He tells me his speech is going to
be awesome - and I am sure it is."</i><br />
<i>“Thank you for giving me a privileged opportunity. It was awesome listening to all the other contestants.”</i><br />
<br />
<i>“I made myself come,”</i> said a participant who arrived knowing no-one. And as she left, her parting words were, <i>“It was the best day! I loved it.”</i><br />
<br />
<i>“Before this he didn’t say much. We couldn’t not come. It has been the making of him!”</i> said a beaming father of a family of four who all flew up from Christchurch for the day to support their son/brother.<br />
<br />
<i> “I felt so humbled by the experience. I had tears in my eyes,
the experience was beautiful and the recognition and opportunity given
to these young people just can't be expressed in words,”</i> said a Rotarian spectator.<br />
<br />
<i>“We’re already planning for next year. It will be bigger and better from us,”</i> said the organiser and co-ordinator from the Bay of Plenty<br />
<br />
It was such a happy result that each participating area had a
place-getter in the Finals, even though that is one aspect we could not
have organised! It was a great day! Certificates and trophies were
clutched close. The smiles were huge, the hugs many and warm.<br />
<br />
Before concluding the day with a scrumptious afternoon tea, we were
entertained by StarJam, a not for profit organisation that empowers
young New Zealanders with disabilities to achieve their full potential
through music and performance workshops.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The next step is to spread the word to Rotary Clubs throughout New
Zealand to widen the opportunity for many more IHC youth by having more
regional heats. Julie McLagan will be glad to hear from anyone around
the country who’d like to be involved next year. You can contact her <a href="mailto:jmclagan@seagulls.co.nz">here</a>.<br />
<br />
<i>“Hopefully next year many more Rotary Clubs New Zealand-wide will
support this very worthwhile project and more young people will be
encouraged to take part”,</i> she said. <i>"We can make such a difference in the lives of the participants and their families.</i><br />
<br />
<i>“Rotary has the power to dip deep into the community to harness
resources and to really make a difference. I was so happy to see this
opportunity to help others in society where there is a need. I am fully
aware that, like many others, our contribution will only be a drop in
the ocean. However, as Mother Teresa said,</i> ‘Without that drop, the ocean will never be full.’ <i>That is why I am a Rotarian.”</i><br />

<div class="yiv9972986063MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464724987006_73609" style="text-align: justify;">

<span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464724987006_73604" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Surely what must be one of the simplest and yet most effective ways of raising awareness and fundraising is the Savealife
Rotary project which is administered by the Rotary Club of Tauranga Sunrise, NZ.</span></div>
<div class="yiv9972986063MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464724987006_73608" style="text-align: justify;">

<span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464724987006_73606" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">It
all started in 2015 when two enterprising Rotarians, John Dentice and
Brian Rickard from Palmerston North, NZ saw an
opportunity for selling capsule keyrings. The big difference was that
each capsule was to contain a 300mg soluble aspirin which could be used
if someone was experiencing signs of a heart attack. The simple act of
chewing that aspirin, or having it dissolve
if placed under the tongue, <i>may</i> help to keep that person alive
for up to what the paramedics call 'The Golden Hour' - that being the
time between having the attack and the paramedics arriving on the scene
and transporting the patient to hospital. John
and Brian explored all the aspects of this idea and soon had the
backing of medical consultants.</span></div>
<div class="yiv9972986063MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464724987006_75017" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="yiv9972986063MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464724987006_73621" style="text-align: justify;">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464724987006_73620" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">All
the components were sourced, the capsules were filled and bagged and
the big sell began! Pretty soon, it became obvious
that this idea was going to be bigger than they imagined and, after a
fortuitous meeting at a trade show with Rotary Club of Tauranga Sunrise
President Ron Fyfe, a collaboration was deemed necessary in order to
roll out the project to a wider network. Thus,
Tauranga Sunrise Rotary took over the national distribution of the
capsules (originally named ‘Lifesavers’, subsequently re-branded to
'Savealife').</span></div>
<div class="yiv9972986063MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464724987006_75035" style="text-align: justify;">

<span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464724987006_75036" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">The early days were tentative as we tested the market and introduced three different selling tiers:</span></div>
<div class="yiv9972986063MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464724987006_75038" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Retail : $NZ4 (No minimum)</span></div>
<div class="yiv9972986063MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464724987006_75039" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Retailers: $3 (100 minimum)</span></div>
<div class="yiv9972986063MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464724987006_75040" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Rotary clubs: $2 (100 minimum)
</span></div>
<div class="yiv9972986063MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464724987006_73632" style="text-align: justify;">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464724987006_73631" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">All prices include Goods and Services Tax (GST)
</span></div>
<div class="yiv9972986063MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464724987006_75041" style="text-align: justify;">

<span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464724987006_73622" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">It
quickly became apparent that the best way to publicise the project was
to encourage other Rotary clubs to take over
distribution for their respective areas by whatever means they saw fit,
thereby making a $2 profit on each one they sell at retail level. The
tiered selling also allowed for clubs to make a $1 profit if they on
sold to retailers.
</span></div>
<div class="yiv9972986063MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464724987006_75042" style="text-align: justify;">

<span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464724987006_73629" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Rotary
clubs in District 9930 joined in initially and then the word got round,
so we started getting enquiries from clubs
further afield. We also saw a niche market which gave the opportunity
for enterprising companies to purchase the capsules as a corporate
giveaway with their own logo and contact details – for this we charge a
$1 per unit premium.

<span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464724987006_75043" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Orders soon started rolling in, especially with companies seeing the value of being part of such a caring and potentially

<span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464724987006_75045" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Home
shows, women's expos and other trade shows were very successful, with
very few refusals, so the next stage was to
run a newspaper promotion. The publishers needed no encouragement to
feature the capsules on pages 1,2 and 3 of their free edition
<i>Bay of Plenty Times</i> and orders followed thick and fast. A call by
one of our founding members to the Newstalk ZB radio studio (following a
feature on defibrillators) saw enquiries from all over New Zealand and
further afield.
</span></div>
<div class="yiv9972986063MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464724987006_75047" style="text-align: justify;">

<span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464724987006_75048" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Our
mission statement is to encourage as many people to have a Savealife
capsule on their keyring. It is perhaps surprising
– and not a little scary – that we are receiving regular reports and
stories of people who had had to use their capsule. Incidentally, each
sale is accompanied by a purse or wallet sized card which gives all
details in relation to procedure, not the least
of which is checking for the existence of a MedicAlert medical identity
bracelet or necklace and, of course, to dial 111 emergency service. In
the vast majority of cases, the paramedics have asked the caller, “Does
anyone have an aspirin with them?”</span></div>
<div class="yiv9972986063MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464724987006_75050" style="text-align: justify;">

<span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464724987006_75051" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">As
a club, we feel that we are only just scratching the surface of this
great fundraiser, especially as ALL the profit
that we make goes back into the community and even after the first
eight months, this is proving to be a significant sum, so we encourage
any other clubs to contact us to help fulfil our dream while saving
lives.

<span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464724987006_75067" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Internationally,
there is the opportunity for our Rotarian friends across the Tasman to
participate and, whilst we are
not able to export filled with aspirin capsules, we are actively
seeking national distribution partners to work towards a mutually
beneficial end.</span></div>

Words: David Garland, Rotary Club of Tauranga, NZ<br />Photos: Marine Reach<br /><br />Over
many years, the Rotary Club of Tauranga and the people of Tauranga have
supported the humanitarian organisation Marine Reach as they take
dental, eye health, general medical and community development assistance
to the people who live on the small islands of the Pacific.<br /><br />Because
these people do not have ready access to the services that people in
New Zealand take for granted, their health and life expectancy is
significantly reduced.<br /><br />Marine Reach has been taking these services to the Pacific for over 25 years using small specially fitted hospital ships.<br /><br />Their
current ship, the MV Pacific Hope, has recently arrived back to its
home port Tauranga, after her first voyage of mercy to the Pacific. View
the video of her first voyage and about this great organisation by
visiting www.marinereach.com.<br /><br />Two years ago Tauranga Rotary and
its sister Rotary clubs in Japan and Australia provided the equipment to
furnish the dental clinic aboard Pacific Hope.<br /><br />Tauranga Rotary,
again with the support of its sister clubs and others in New Zealand and
international, including a Rotary Foundation Global Grant, have set a
goal to now furnish the ophthalmology clinic.<br /><br />The fundraising
project has set a sum of $90,000 as it target. Already there are
commitments of around $75,000 with additional donations being received
daily.<br /><br />Tauranga Rotary, whose motto is “Service Above Self”,
invites the people and businesses of Tauranga, New Zealand and overseas
to come aboard and join us as we make a difference to the lives of our
neighbours in the Pacific.<br /><br />Donations can be sent by cheque to P O Box 609, Tauranga or via Give a Little using your credit card via <a href="https://givealittle.co.nz/org/tgarotary." target="_blank">https://givealittle.co.nz/org/tgarotary. </a> <br /><br />All
donors will receive charitable donation receipts and donors of over
$500 will be recognised by an inscription on a panel to be installed in
the ophthalmology clinic.<br /><br />For more information, contact Project Coordinator David Garland on +64 7 543 2012 or <a href="mailto:david.beverley@paradise.net.nz." id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1459363836992_177328">david.beverley@paradise.net.nz.</a>Rotary Down Under New Zealand and Pacific Islandshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06486055564040029613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2138561499546893683.post-76176224673282655642016-03-31T01:29:00.001-07:002016-03-31T01:29:39.274-07:00Community partnership brings day of fun<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

What
happens when the Whakatāne Menz Shed, Whakatāne Blue Light and the
Rotary Club of Whakatāne get together? You get the seriously fun Grass
Track Trolley Derby, which was on a sunny February
afternoon at a farm in Awakeri, Whakatāne, NZ. </div>
<div class="yiv9418646486MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1459363836992_176361" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
The
three community-based groups collaborated to organise and host the
trolley derby which saw 59 children and 16 adults ranging from age five
to 70 years old scooting down the hillside on trolleys
of all shapes and sizes. There were plenty more watching the action and
righting spilled trolleys or dusting off their children.
</div>
<div class="yiv9418646486MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1459363836992_176351" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
The
Menz Shed held two Saturday morning trolley-building workshops for
those who didn’t already have a trolley of their own. These were a great
opportunity to share and learn skills, and were
well attended by enthusiastic children. </div>
<div class="yiv9418646486MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1459363836992_176352" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
The
trolley derby was a great family event which was carried out with very
little expense, thanks to the generous sponsorship of the Whakatāne
Rotary and a minimal entry fee. Whakatāne Rotary
will be looking to host the event again next year, so get your
trolley-building plans in place for next summer!</div>

Rotary event director Lynette Stanley said overall the club was very
pleased with the way the concert had gone. “We have received nothing
but positive feedback from concert-goers and we know there were several
other huge events
nationally that clashed with ours, meaning ticket sales were down on
last year,” Lynette said. “We are confident that next year with the
positive publicity that we have achieved, numbers will grow and we will
be able to give even more money to worthy causes.”<br />

Words: Past Rotary International President Bill Boyd, Trustee of the Bill and Lorna Boyd Charitable Trust</div>
<div class="yiv5334660082MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1459363836992_165592" style="line-height: 106%; margin-bottom: 8.0pt;">
At
the South Pacific Presidents Elect Training Seminar, a friendly
Australian asked me why the Dictionary project was so successful in New
Zealand, yet does not exist in Australia. In New Zealand,
with a population smaller than that of Sydney, since 2008 we have
through Rotary given 120,000 dictionaries, mostly to year 4 children in
schools in lower socio-economic areas, but also to prisons and every
child that goes through the Refugee Resettlement
Centre, and these become the personal property of the recipient. This
is important, as teachers tell us that some of these children live in
homes without one book. An added benefit for Rotary is that when the
children write their name, it is on a page that
shows the donor Rotary club and a simple <i>Four-Way Test</i> so that every dictionary spreads an awareness of Rotary.</div>
<div class="yiv5334660082MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1459363836992_165593" style="line-height: 106%; margin-bottom: 8.0pt;">
While
technology in schools is increasing, you cannot expect a home without a
book to have a computer and interestingly we are finding that schools
equipping children with tablets through various
schemes still ask their Rotary club to continue our dictionary project.
Not all, for some are 100% focussed on technology, but many teachers
still see the value of the written word.</div>
<div class="yiv5334660082MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1459363836992_165598" style="line-height: 106%; margin-bottom: 8.0pt;">
Our
dictionary is not a dull and boring book. It has 10,000 entries and
25,000 definitions and most importantly over 1000 illustrations and
colour on every page. The retail price is over $NZ30
and you can calculate the value of Rotary’s gift to our communities. </div>
<div class="yiv5334660082MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1459363836992_165599" style="line-height: 106%; margin-bottom: 8.0pt;">
The
project is made possible by the Bill and Lorna Boyd Charitable Trust,
funded by Rotarians after Bill’s year as President of Rotary
International. The Trust gives us the financial ability
to import dictionaries in shipments of 20,000 copies and to pay the
publisher as soon as the shipment arrives directly from the printer in
Dubai. Rotary clubs then buy the dictionaries from the Trust at $NZ9.50
each which rebuilds the Trust’s funds. You can
appreciate that supplying a class of 25 children is within the
financial resources of even small clubs and in some areas clubs have the
support of local Trusts.</div>
<div class="yiv5334660082MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1459363836992_165600" style="line-height: 106%; margin-bottom: 8.0pt;">
Last year clubs ordered 17% more copies than the year before, so we are far from having saturated the market!
</div>
<div class="yiv5334660082MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1459363836992_165601" style="line-height: 106%; margin-bottom: 8.0pt;">
The
need if Australians want their own dictionary project is to find a
funding source that can provide the seed funds for each shipment. Once
this is available it is not difficult to gain the
support of Rotarians to run the project and it becomes a magic Rotary
moment to be at a school and to have a child put their name in what
becomes their own book.</div>

MC Wallace Chapman of Radio New Zealand National, set the debate tone
that ranged from Simon’s discussion on New Zealand Rotary and the need
for greater diversity in an organisation

difference between male and female thinking with Louise’s demonstration
of her initiative to use a trolley to transport 52kgs of Army equipment -
as opposed to carrying it over her shoulder

can a Rotary club capitalise on special ‘International Day of …’
occasions,
provide opportunity for networking, strengthen ties with Rotaract,
support a local charity, promote membership as well as give everyone a
very entertaining night out?</span></div>
<div class="yiv4231524371MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1459363836992_163266" style="line-height: 106%; margin-bottom: 8.0pt;">

Club of Pakuranga’s Community Director Sylvie Wilkinson found the
answer.
International Women’s Day was the ‘excuse’. Getting Pakuranga Rotaract
Club on the organising team, engaging two prominent Auckland women as MC
and speaker, inviting local professional women to take part and
encouraging fellow members and partners to join
in, provided all the ingredients for a very significant occasion.</span></div>

Waipuna Convention Centre in Auckland, New Zealand provided the setting
for the
special event held on Monday February 29. About 40% of the 140
participants had no connection with Rotary. With stunning wall panels
and table runners, designed and painted by local school children
brightening up the room, the scene was set for an evening
in which the achievements of women, both in New Zealand and overseas
were acknowledged and celebrated.</span></div>
<div class="yiv4231524371MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1459363836992_163270" style="line-height: 106%; margin-bottom: 8.0pt;">

chef and radio host, Helen Jackson, provided continuity as MC. She
interspersed
her duties with heart-warming but also challenging stories related to
the Guardian Angels Charitable Trust which she co-founded in 2004. This
trust provides practical assistance to needy families struggling with
the care of terminally ill child. Referrals
come from Starship Children’s Hospital, Auckland. Through sale of the
art work, along with donations delightfully solicited by Rotaractors,
Sylvie presented the Trust with a cheque for $3000.</span></div>

buzz of conversation during the carefully planned networking spells
testified
to the value of bringing motivated and successful people together in a
fun filled setting. There were substantial prizes for the best dressed
ethnic and historical woman, as well as spot prizes personally presented
by the various corporate women guests. Business
cards collected for a prize draw (cleverly designed to capture
potential members) showed a huge range of occupations and services.</span></div>

<span id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1459363836992_163273" style="font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 106%;">Highlight
of the evening was the address by Diane Foreman who gave a very
personal
account of her life experiences from solo-parent in a receptionist job
to CEO of one of New Zealand’s largest companies, the title of NZ
Entrepreneur of the Year in 2009, Companion of the New Zealand Order of
Merit in 2011, and No. 11 in Forbes’ magazine list
of Power Business Women in Asia in 2014. Her story, together with her
expressed desire to promote women in business, could not help but make
an impact on all present. As one seasoned Rotarian remarked,” That was
the best Rotary function I have attended in
all my years in the club”. Yes, with a little imagination, Rotary can
capitalise on special days, promoting our local community, Rotaract and
our Rotary organisation.

She’s
hilarious and a selfconfessed nomad at heart. “Most of my travels were
triggered either by running away from a man or running towards him,”

“Restaurants
are for visitors. If you want to know the culture of a country you must
experience its cuisine. “Don’t have continental breakfast at the hotel
and act like a tourist,” the culinary queen said. The red-haired food
adventurer
regaled the audience with a hilarious account of her 11-hour train
journey in India, where she spent all her time thinking of how she could
kill her friend for suggesting train travel in a second class sleeper
coach. Among the guests were Rotary district 9920
governor nominee Malini Raghwan, who travelled from Suva to support the
International Women’s Day celebration, as well as Leanne Jaggs, the
outspoken past district governor, also master of ceremonies for the
gathering. The only three men in pinnies and pearls
who were clearly outnumbered and spent all their time sportingly
serving the women bubbly and high tea were past district governor Alan
Eyes and assistant governors Philip Wilson and Bart Signal.</div>

When Sue Mees, President of Rotary Browns Bay, visited her family in Guernsey
for Christmas, her suitcase and that of her husband Paul (also a member of
Rotary Browns Bay), did not contain the usual winter holiday gear. That’s
because Sue had 140 tiny jumpers, many with matching beanies, to deliver
to her friend Dr Susan Wilson of the Tumaini Fund, which provides support to
the Kagera district in Nigeria. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Fortunately, all of Sue and Paul’s winter
clothes had been left behind in Guernsey after their last trip. This was
when Sue first met Dr Susan, who told her of the Fish and Chip babies in
Africa. These are the ‘AIDS babies’ who are sent home after birth,
wrapped in newspaper. Women in Guernsey have been knitting baby jumpers
for some time, and Sue brought the pattern back to New Zealand with her. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">This project has captured the hearts of the Rotary community and local women
from Probus, the 60s Up group, Rotarians and their family members are knitting
with enthusiasm. There are already another 150 jumpers ready to go.
Dr Wilson packs up crates and sends them to Nigeria in containers. Her
charity assists the whole community by providing clean drinking water, medical
care and essential supplies. She visits the country frequently to work
amongst the people.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">A total of 470 visitors took part in Waiuku
Rotary’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sunset Coast Walk</i> this year,
some coming from as far away as Waiheke Island. Considering the previous day’s
weather forecast for heavy showers, (which thankfully did not eventuate), this
was considered an excellent turnout. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">The route of the walk encompassed an ever
changing vista of the west coast, to the north as far as the eye could see, and
to the south with breath-taking views over Karioitahi towards the Waikato River.
Many walkers, on their return to base commented that the views this year were
the “very best”.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">In planning and preparing for the walk a small
group of Rotarians were involved in choosing the various routes for the walk which
were carefully surveyed to avoid any major hazards. On the day prior to the
walk all the base and route tents were thankfully able to be put up in fine
weather.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Contrary to forecasts, Sunday morning
dawned fine. The first registrations took place around 7.30am, and the morning
soon became very busy with many groups of families, sportspeople, friends and
individuals setting off armed with maps of the various routes available.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">The Waiuku Scouts group manned the free sausage
sizzle and drink tent throughout the day, and also very ably helped direct the
many cars into the parking spaces. It was good to see the involvement of the
young people. Special thanks to Franklin Vets for the use of their Mobile BBQ.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Many participants brought picnic lunches
with them and with the lovely shade trees around, it was an ideal time to relax
and create a happy atmosphere. The local Coffee Van was available for that very
welcome cup of Coffee throughout the day, and they donate a share of their profits
to help with our fundraising.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">The Club sincerely thanks the owners of the
property, John and Andrea Sturgess for their continued support in allowing their
farm to be used for this annual fundraiser. The Club also wishes to acknowledge
and thank sponsors who continue to support this fund raising project; Waiuku
New World, Pukekohe Harcourt’s Real Estate, McConnell Stafford-Bush and NZ
Steel. They have over the years been extremely generous in supplying Waiuku
Rotary with goods, donations, and loan of tents.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">All funds raised will be used for local
projects, particularly those supporting the youth of the district.</span></div>

Give a Little concept is already a well-established system for giving,

our club’s own push via social media and the help of the local
newspaper, the Give a Little campaign was very successful and more
importantly, over just five weeks,

collaboration between some of our newest members with their fresh
perspective and ideas, in partnership with longer term members who knew
how to best leverage the funds
we had raised by applying for a Matching Grant. Combine this with the
support and encouragement for this new thinking from everyone else in
the club and the outcome was a fantastic result which culminated in the
donation of the “The Beast” to Max on February
23 on Rotary’s 111<sup>th</sup> birthday.</span></div>

the 2015-2016 Rotary year began, the Rotary Club of Takaro, NZ was
looking for a new project to reignite the club, and after some
brainstorming, the “Girls’ Sheds” project was born. Fortunately the
club had some experience with this type of event, having held “Garden
Tour” and “Man Cave” projects several years before.

Rotary club first developed a talent pool of member’s skills to help
identify gaps and then found people with the needed skills
to enhance the project team. Tasks were allocated and time frames set
for completion. It quickly became clear that the club was onto something
great, so the excitement grew and a launch date of Valentine’s Day was
chosen.

Saturday February 14 the weather was perfect. Each of the 260 ticket
holders met at the community hall and picked up a map and a
guide for the day and viewed a PowerPoint presentation with photos of
the sites, so guests could choose which ones they were most keen to
explore and maybe buy some of the products on sale there. Raffles
tickets were purchased, picnic lunches collected and
the tour began to see what the “girls of Palmy” and surrounding areas
are doing in their special spaces.

<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1456537524055_14690">One
year ago, a group of Rotaractors from New Zealand decided to make
history. We were going to host the first ever Rotaract New Zealand
Roundtrip!</span>
<br />
<div class="yiv7972080531Standard">
</div>
<div class="yiv7972080531Standard">
Now, this may sound like
Greek to most people, so we'll give a brief explanation. A Roundtrip is
a trip organised by Rotaractors of a host country for international
Rotaractors. The focus
of these trips is to foster global Rotaract ties, do community service
and provide an authentic experience of the host country while
facilitating international friendships.</div>

After
more than a year of planning and preparation, including hours of
gruelling Skype meetings, on December 4, 2015, New Zealand Rotaract was
ready to go! Our Rotaract delegates from Mexico,
Malaysia, Germany, France and Australia arrived in Auckland, and we all
embarked on a whirlwind journey through both the North and South
Islands of New Zealand.</div>

<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1456537524055_16288">We
spent the next 16 days travelling along 3,000 km of scenic New Zealand
roads, creating unforgettable memories, making lifelong friends, and at
the end of it forming our own international
Rotaract family. Over the course of the trip, we stayed in 10 cities*,
did community projects in Wellington and Dunedin, and met dozens of
amazing Rotarians. If we said the going was all easy, we would be lying,
but that’s what kept it interesting!

anyone saw it coming, the trip was coming to a close. It was an
emotional day for everyone when our little Rotaract family had to go our
separate ways from Nelson. The past 16 days
had kept us so busy in the present that no one had realised it would
have to end at some point, and that we would have to say goodbye. Thus
with tears in our eyes, we boarded our flights to Auckland and
Wellington to begin the journey home.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1453668083320_71238" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Pride
of Workmanship Awards were awarded by the Rotary Club of
Manurewa-Takanini, NZ on September 21, 2015 to 11 awardees, including
security guards, teachers, supermarket supervisors, a personal
assistant, a secretary receptionist, a beverages and catering manager,
an artist and a team leader. Their employers ranged from a primary
school, beautification trust, real estate agency, supermarket, and a
shopping centre to a local board and a golf club. </span></span></div>

nominations came as a result of personal contact with employers known
to members, a mail-out to local businesses with a personal follow up,
and from approaching a school principal who was a guest speaker earlier
in the year. </span></span></div>

business has staff members who excel at their jobs or think outside the
square to ensure that the duties they have been allocated are finished
both accurately and on time. These same employees may volunteer to help
other employees with their tasks. Many businesses value special
employees, but due to financial restraints or company policies, they are
unable to reward them for their extra efforts. </span></span></div>

to help employers recognise these employees, so each year we select a
small group of local companies to participate in these awards. The
employers nominate their staff member along with a short resume of what
they do and why they are nominating them. It is not a competition, so
nominees are all automatically accepted by the club and certificates are
printed and framed. </span></span></div>
<div class="yiv4324510720Default" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1453668083320_71253">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1453668083320_71255" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">The
presentation dinner is attended by the employer and their nominated
employee, plus any other employees the business wishes to bring along,
or even family members. The Rotary club pays for the employee and the
employer pays for themselves and any other people they bring along. We
include a short speech about Rotary opportunities, then a keynote
speaker on a related topic, and then it is the presentation of
certificates with the employers explaining why they nominated each
awardee. </span></span></div>

is always a great night where we all recognise excellence and the
recipients go home feeling appreciated. We recommend annual Pride of
Workmanship Awards to all clubs. </span></span></div>

amount of work put in by the owners in adverse weather conditions was
evident in the presentation of their gardens, which ranged from
beautiful colourful suburban gardens to larger rural ones with expansive
lawns and plantings, including gracious big trees. A huge vote of
thanks goes to those owners because, without their generous
contribution, the garden trail could never have happened.</span></span></div>

The silent epidemic of incontinence became one of the most
talked about topics at New Zealand Fashion Week this year, thanks to fashion
designer Frantisek Riha-Scott and business partner Mark Davey, who is also
Chair of Rotary Club of Downtown Auckland’s Community Committee. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Their product is Confitex, an innovative and stylish range
of underwear for men and women with incontinence. A fine example of Kiwi
ingenuity, the Confitex range marries high-tech sports fabric with fashion and
is sleekly styled, absorbent, waterproof, pad-free and eco-friendly. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Almost one million women and men in New Zealand experience
incontinence or occasional bladder leakage. In Australia the figure is around
4.5m and in the USA 115m. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 105%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt;">
Mark Davey says
New Zealand Fashion Week was an important step forward for an essential
conversation. “It was a world first to have lingerie designed for incontinence
on the runway at a fashion show,” he says. <em><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-style: normal;">“When we first researched incontinence products, we were
shocked to see what people had to wear - they were big and bulky, and look like
adult nappies - it’s no wonder people’s self-esteem is low.” </span></em></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 105%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt;">
<em><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-style: normal;">While developing
Confitex, Mark and Frantisek met Dr Lynsey Hayward, an Auckland Urogynaecology
Specialist and Vice-President of the International Urogynaecology Association.</span></em><em><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";"> </span></em><em><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-style: normal;">“I</span></em>t’s
very common for women to be so embarrassed they don’t tell their family or
partners. Sometimes they won’t even leave the house, play with their
children, or even laugh,” she says.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 105%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt;">
Following New
Zealand Fashion Week, Dr Hayward was delighted to accept from the Rotary Club
of Downtown Auckland a Confitex donation of 120 pairs of underwear to help
women who can’t afford incontinence pads that can cost over $2,000 a
year. “Some women with this condition will lie on a bed of newspaper
because they can’t buy pads anymore,” she says.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The range is being marketed across Australasia by Pharmaco
Ltd, a specialist New Zealand owned healthcare sales and marketing company. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Pharmaco Chief Executive Officer Chandra Selvadurai says
Confitex is a fantastic example of Kiwi innovation that’s set to disrupt its
category by improving people’s lives through innovation and design. “Up
until now incontinence products have been functional, uncomfortable and ugly,
and do nothing to boost confidence,” he says. “As a Kiwi company, we are
delighted to be working with another to grow its business in New Zealand and
Australia.”</div>

names of those islands conjures up travel brochure images of a warm tropical
sun setting in the distance over blue turquoise waters, palm trees, secluded
white sandy beaches, and air conditioned hotels calling to your inner most
desires. As real and appealing as those images may be, there is another calling
in the South Pacific that few hear or know about. It's an urgent call for help.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Having
sailed in the South Pacific, Rotarians Richard and Stephanie Hackett, the
original founders of a non-profit organization called Sea Mercy <a href="http://www.seamercy.org/">www.seamercy.org</a>, witnessed both the
incredible beauty and hardships faced by those living on the remote islands.
Seeing the need, they began reaching out to the island nations to learn more about
the initiatives they had for their remote island citizens. The feedback they
received moved them to take action. Richard said this about what they had
learned:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">"Although
the islands nations were striving to build a modern infrastructure on their larger,
more populated primary islands, there was no service delivery mechanism in
place, or funds available to try and connect their hundreds of remote islands
to even the most basic services. That was when we learned the reality of the
situation there."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Richard
and Stephanie understood that the need was urgent and knew that with the right
relationships in place with the government ministries, an organization could
stand in the gap to meet those remote island needs. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">In
2012, they launched a non-profit organization called Sea Mercy, a fleet of
"free" <i>Floating Health Care Clinics</i> staffed by international
based health care volunteers who were willing to answer that call for help.
Working under Memorandum of Understandings with their island nation partners
(currently Tonga and Fiji), since 2013 they have visited over 150 remote
islands, evaluated and treated over 11,500 medical patients, tested and
provided over 4,500 reading glasses, and treated over 1,500 dental patients. </span><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Sea Mercy thinks creatively
with achieving the end goal in mind. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/447842518601871/videos/968738943178890/">https://www.facebook.com/447842518601871/videos/968738943178890/</a>
shows that when you really need something, there is always a way to get
it. </span><span class="hascaption"><span style="color: #141823; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">When two desperately needed
water tanks were loaded and offloaded onto Lil Explorers during disaster relief
work in Vanuatu, the remote islanders were very excited to have their new water
tanks.</span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">In 2014 following Cyclone Ian in Tonga, and in 2015
following Cyclone Pam in Vanuatu, Sea Mercy sent eight vessels to deliver aid
and medical care to the devastated remote islands there. In October 2015, they
launched their <i>First Response Fleet</i> program to better serve those in
need on the remote islands following a natural disaster. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">In April 2016, they plan to send out their <i>Global
Mercy Armada</i> <a href="http://www.seamercy.org/armada">www.seamercy.org/armada</a>
to the remote Lau Group in Fiji. A program designed to train and assist the
remote islands not only to be self-sustaining and survive, but to thrive
economically. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">With nine more island nations on their target list for
these programs (and 1,800 remote islands), they are looking for Rotarians and
Rotary clubs who have the same heart for the people in the South Pacific and
willing to answer their call for help. Whether it is to join a medical mission
rotation, assisting with disaster response needs, or offering your talents and
abilities for the <i>Global Mercy Armada</i>, we encourage you to contact Sea
Mercy: Sailing with a greater purpose and help make a difference. </span></div>
