Reports from March: Funds and Fundraising — we learnt earlier in
the year that we are not flush with funds, although we seems to
have experienced a welcome increase in our bank account recently,
and at this stage we do not have any firm plans for raising funds
in addition to our two plant sales this year — which will have to
be well supported to allow us to continue with all that we do. More
members, and more ideas are needed!!!!! Membership and Publicity —
(i) look to those who have been to RYLA; (ii) look to Rotaractors;
(iii) publicise our meetings in The Bush Telegraph; (iv) improve
and use our website; (v) use Facebook etc.; (vi) invite ex-members
to meetings; (vii) reintroduce ‘factory visits’ and invite
visi-tors to those occasions; (viii) welcome new residents to
Berowra. District Conference 2015 — 20 to 22 March, Crown Plaza

BowelCare (formerly Bowelscan) is in its 25th year of service
in
Rotary District 9685. In order for the Program to continue
its
growth and benefit the community, Clubs in our Rotary
District
are asked to promote bowel cancer awareness by
participating in the BowelCare Program.
We will publicise this outside Coles Supermarket.
Object of BowelCare
1. Develop a Community Awareness of the nature of bowel
cancer.
2. Earlier detection of potential or actual bowel cancer.
Berowra Rotary will once again participate in this important
Community Service project from 2 May to 27 June 2015.

Canberra in January 2016. NYSF is unique in Australia. Students
during year11 are selected to attend the NYSF the following year.
They learn how to make informed decisions about courses and careers
in the sciences and gain a professional skill set to help them
realise their potential.
Pride of Workmanship/Community Service Awards: Berowra Rotary
Awards will be presented on a date in May TBA - please consider
worthy awardees in both categories and present these to the Board.
This is one of our showcase
nights and it is wonderful to be able to honour these people who
do good in the com-munity, and those who show pride in the
workplace.
