We had a really inspirational speaker with us on
Tuesday morning in Past District Governor of
District 9500 Eric Russell. He took us through his
remarkable life to date, his story starting when he
crashed his MBG GT many years ago in Port
Moresby. Eric received spinal cord injuries which
turned his life in a whole new direction when he
was inspired by the athletes training in his
rehabilitation hospital. He had become lost in
rehab and did not know who he was anymore so
seeing these athletes and joining in with them
eventually allowed him to re-establish his identity.
Leaving the rehab centre he went to university
where he studied human movement which he
said really helped him in his athletic endeavours.
He excelled in shot put and discus winning 26
gold medals and breaking 14 world records. He
also met his wife Julie who also represented
Australia in Wheelchair sports and actually asked
her to marry him after only 13 days together!!
Eric actually started his volunteer/service career
as a Lion in Brisbane before coming to Adelaide
and joining Rotary.
He has twice been President of Adelaide Parks
and at District level served 2 years as an Assistant
Governor. He has an MBE, an Advance Australia
Award, is a Paul Harris Fellow with Sapphire Pin
and in 2007 was made a Life Member of
wheelchair Sports SA. In addition Eric is a
gentleman and a truly enlightening human
being......Eric Russell.
Sgt Kirsty’s game brought the bang back to the
meeting when she made us all pop as many
balloons as we could to find the Winning Tag
inside one of them. Well done on a fantastic start
to our games for the year Kirsty, I am sure we will
see plenty innovative ideas from you throughout
the year.
See you Tuesday,
President Greg Schuetze

• Greg, for putting in the last Bulletin that Carol led her committee in a robust discussion. She was at
home sick, and didn't make the meeting!
• Greg, for assuming that the sergeant of the week 'knew who she was' and not putting Ronda's name
in the Bulletin.
• Mark Thompson, for sending the Bulletin to the wrong Steve Hayter on a G Mail account rather than
President Steve Hayter of Kent Town.
• Ronda, for complaining about the plates not being heated at breakfast.
• Chris G, for his ums and ahs before the invocation.
• John & Licaria, for arriving after the gong.
• Kevin, for wearing Shirley's name badge, and Shirley, for giving it to him.
• The Men's Porridge Club. All of us have been members for weeks (or years!) and have never been
invited to join the gang, whereas new exchange student Carlo showed up to his first meeting and
was immediately inducted.
• Bronwyn who now has a Sportspower page on Facebook, but doesn't know how to log in and access
it.
• Shirley, for her phone ringing in the middle of the meeting (John's phone call fine was waived as he
gave me a valid excuse!)
• Plus a fine to everyone who didn't watch the amazing, educational Australian television show 'The
Shire' last night (and that includes me!).

Congratulations to Greg Schuetze who was the only tipper with any faith in the Gold Coast against
Richmond. Also congrats to Chris Gascoine & Matt Davis who foresaw Sydney’s win in the West.
Whilst it elevated them to the upper parts of the ladder, they couldn’t overcome the RC Morialta
club blitz, which saw Kym Davis edge out Alan Cushway and Peter Mayer for the big weekly prize.
Kim – your prize money has been despatched via David Lloyd who assures me he is good at
delivering things to their final destination. Your challenge will be to intercept the money before he
buries it (or hands it to the club Sergeant).
There are only 8 rounds to go. This week’s prize goes to the best tipper who gets 8 correct (and
only 8). In other words, make sure you tip one game wrong (which shouldn’t be hard this week!!).
If no-one gets exactly 8 correct, the prize will jackpot to the next round. GOOD LUCK.

The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of a worthy enterprise and in particular to encourage and foster
The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service.
High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying by every Rotarian of their occupation as an opportunity to serve
society.
The application of the ideal service by every Rotarian to their personal, business and community life.
The advancement of international understanding, goodwill and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional people united in the ideal of service.
The Four Way Test of the things we think, say or do:
Is it the truth? Is it Fair to all concerned?
Will it build goodwill and better friendships? Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
For good food, good fellowship And the opportunity to serve through Rotary
