Here are some ideas for you to use when you are describing Rotarians. Research conducted among Rotary members worldwide revealed insights about who we are:
• Rotary members are responsible leaders, both socially and ethically. We define leadership by mindset and approach, not labels or titles.
• Connecting with each other and our communities will always be the driving force behind Rotary.
• Rotary affects local communities on a global scale to create lasting change.
We found our voice:
• Smart — we are insightful and discerning • Compassionate — we tackle community challenges with empathy and understanding • Persevering — we find lasting solutions to systemic problems • Inspiring — we encourage others to take action, conveying hope, enthusiasm, and passion We defined three core ideas to help you describe Rotary to a new audience: • Rotary joins leaders from all continents, cultures, and occupations. • Rotary exchanges ideas, bringing our expertise and diverse perspectives to help solve some of the
world’s toughest problems. • Rotary takes action to bring lasting change to communities around the world.
The Facts
There is estimated to be 384,000 people with one or two hands missing from landmine accidents, most are children
There are still 120 million landmines still set in the world, most are in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.
Landmines are being cleared at a rate of 100,000 per year. At this rate it will be 1200 years before all landmines are cleared.
D’Arcy Lunn was a key speaker at our recent District Conference at Warrnambool. He will be at Aldinga from mid May until the first week in June , and he would like you to take the opportunity for him to speak at your Club Meeting. Contact d’Arcy at [email protected]
Happy, simply - a sustainable lifestyle model and education project. Debt free - healthy, happy and with lots of friends. Where the best things in life are not things.
• Sustainable living - shelter, food, water, energy, transport, waste, environment • Community participation - volunteering, active citizenship • Education - learning, simple sustainable choices, rich experiences and happy, simply!
A model and tangible decisions and actions dedicated to people and planet.
Happy, simply is a showcase of how one person can live happily in almost subsistence and highlight the importance of community and the fulfilment that comes from being an engaged and active citizen. It is not necessarily a model people will adopt in whole but more a display of opportunities to live a more active, engaged and sustainable life. People can choose one or more of the components and move themselves along their own subsistent and Happy, simply spectrum.
The Happy, simply, a sustainable lifestyle model and education project is building its second Happy, simply home this time in Aldinga, South Australia (just near Adelaide)… A Happy, simply home will take shape in South Australia from mid May to first week of June - please get in touch if you want to be a part of making this happen!
