Tony is the Student Counsellor at Brighton Secondary and was a return visi-tor to speak
about his school’s involvement with an orphanage in Cambodia. Tony introduced his talk by praising the School's partnership with Paul Munn’s Care for Cam-bodia initiative. Tony painted a sad picture of people living on a tip, from which he moved to the im-portance of education in breaking this cycle and a detailed description of student fundraising towards becoming involved with the effort.
Tony then took us on the trip to Cambodia, which was managed by World Challenge with the key risk-management aspects handled professionally. Accli-matization on arrival involved a cooking course and four days trekking before we saw some pictures of an impressive structure being built and the village that the students and staff stayed in. The man with the AK 47 and the fishbone in his foot painted a picture of local life. The students got further into culture with basked weaving and a trip to Angkor Wat, the largest religious site in the world.
It was clear that for Tony the prime value of the trip was in the development of the students both as per-sons and as leaders.
Our meeting on 9th June was a Committees meeting, and as a curtain raiser which stole the show Rob and Marianne, our two latest members, gave us a thor-ough and very interesting insight into their lives and

June is Rotary fellow-ships month and it is a good time to reflect as we near the end of the Rotary year on what we have achieved and what we have gained from Rotary.
Aside from the monies raised, charities, people and causes we have supported, we have had
fun, fellowship and camaraderie along the way. There are many ways we can extend and en-hance our Rotary experience through fellowship and one of those is to join a Rotary fellowship group of which there are many and varied inter-ests represented, see https://www.rotary.org/myrotary/en/rotary-fellowships.
From cooking, cruising, flying, golf, photography to Travel and Hosting to name a few, there is a fellowship group for you where you can connect with like-minded Rotarians who share similar interests and hobbies. Can't find what you're looking for? Then think about starting your own Rotary fellowship, see https://www.rotary.org/myrotary/en/take-action/empower-leaders/form-rotary-fellowship.

Polio Eradication
Barbara has alerted me to the 2016 Po-lio Eradication Calendar, a multi-award-winning production by Rotarian John Edwards and based around magnificent images of wildlife in the southern oceans. If anyone wishes to investigate further please contact Barbara.
June is Rotary Fellowship month
Rotary Fellowships are groups of Rotary members who
Share a common interest in recreational activi-ties, sports, hobbies, or professions
Further their vocational development with oth-ers in the same profession or field
Enhance their Rotary experience by exploring new opportunities and making connections around the world
Rotary Fellowships operate in that:
Each fellowship functions independently of Rota-ry International, establishing its own rules, dues requirements, and administrative structure
Membership is open to Rotarians, spouses of Rotarians, and Rotaractors.
Fellowships must have an international scope, with active members in at least three countries

9th June 2015
From Pam. This is a letter received from Jaime Gardner the lady I presented a cheque to for $750.00. We raised the money at one of our BBQs at Harvey Norman. Members may be interested in reading this note from Jaime in our Bulletin.
Subject: Community Re-entry Program donation
Dear Pam,
I would like to extend a huge thank you on behalf of all of the members of the Community Re-entry Program. As you know we are a small community based rehabilitation program for adults with ac-quired brain injury, based at the Flinders Universi-ty. We provide a range of skill development and social and recreational activities for people with brain injury to encourage them to connect with their community and engage with others.
The generous donation from the Rotary club will go towards either promotion of brain injury aware-ness during brain injury awareness week (August 17th-23rd, 2015) or a two day retreat for members and their families to be held at the Sunnybrae Function Centre (September 2015).
Just for your information, one of our members with brain injury is currently compiling an information session, which has a range of practical activities aimed at informing others about what it’s like to live with a brain injury. She has presented this ses-sion on a few occasions to our group and may be interested in sharing this with Rotary member in the future, if this was of interest. Again, thank you for your generous support. We look forward to working with you in the future. All the best Jaime
