Presidents Report from Natalie Jupe

Gday everyone,

Another big board meeting last week thanks to all who attended (very much appreciated). I willbe getting the November visioning points and outcomes to members via email sometime in thenext week.

The big thing to come from the board meeting was selecting Tom Busby as our RYLA candidate his application has been sent to district so good luck Tom.

Joan, Roni and I attended the Rotary Club of Canberra Easts meeting on Monday night. We werepresented with a very generous cheque for the contribution we made to selling Gnomes atFloriade this year. I know how much everyone enjoys this event, and I am sure we will continueour support in 2013. Photos from the night are to come.

Should anyone be interested in joining the Gnomes at Floriade 2013 committee, please contactGenevieve to express your interest.

We are waiting to hear back from council as to when the Relay for Life can have its info stall at theSunset markets unfortunately last Friday was cancelled due to the poor weather. If/whenrescheduled we will still need volunteers to help.

If you check out the upcoming calendar, you will see the silly season has arrived and lots of thingsare on. Should you wish to attend our Christmas Party on Sunday 9 December, please RSVP toJoan ASAP and be sure to include which main you would like for lunch.

Rotary is Rot-a-awesome

Here is an opportunity for Rotarians to travel to

Indiana USA with Rotary Friendship Exchange:

As you know, D9710 Rotary Friendship Exchange group will be hosting a group of 10 to 12 Rotarians from

D6540 Indiana USA after the International Conference in Sydney in June 2014. They would like our district

to visit them in 2013. I am urgently seeking the names of any Rotarians who are interested in travelling to

US next year, preferably late August to early September.

The exchange involves travelling to Indiana at own cost where the Rotarians will then host our group for 2

weeks in home hosting arrangements with lots of sightseeing etc as well as attending some Rotary

meetings. Most people would make the trip as part of a longer trip, perhaps to the US.

Please send names and contact details to [email protected] or 0408628935 as soon as possible.

Many thanks

Ross Power, D9710 Chairman Rotary Friendship Exchange

CSIRO Public seminarThe role of true flies in evolutionary history Using phylogenomics to understand

diversification

When: 3:00 pm4:00 pmThursday 22 November

Where: Level 2, Waterhouse Lecture Theatre (Bldg 101)CSIRO Ecosystem Sciences

Black Mountain ACT 2601

Cost: Free

Leading researcher Professor Brian Wiegmann and an international team of colleagues are focused on research of true flies

(Diptera), one of the largest radiations of eukaryotic life.

This seminar will discuss the research and describe how the results compare with targeted amplification of specific DNA regions

via the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique to more rapidly and affordably provide a wealth of genes that exhibit

phylogenetic utility across flies.

We are excited to announce that Canberra Blood Donor Centre will shortly undergo extensive

refurbishments. The centres makeover will include an improved layout, new-look interior, redesigned

reception and refreshment area, as well as additional plasma machines to better cater for an increased

numbers of donors.

While the renovations are taking place, the centre will be closed from:

Friday 16 November to Monday 26 November inclusive.

The Donor Mobile Unit will be located in the donor centre car park during this period to collect whole blood

donations. Unfortunately there will be no capacity to collect plasma or platelet donations during this time.

The centre will reopen on Tuesday 27 November, 2012. We look forward to welcoming you then.

Yours sincerely

Chris LewisDonor Centre Manager
