Saturday 19 March Star Disco - Va Va Voom!!!!!!!!!!!!
Star Disco BBQ Well we had a team of members Tony & Sue, Judy & Alan, Graeme & Vicky who cooked & served about 170 sausages, 4 kg of Onions and Bread. Good fun had by all started about 5.00pm finished about 7.00pm. They certainly enjoy their BBQ as they came back a couple of times for more. Again a big thank you to all concerned

Sunday 20th March - Cooking for CARA- CARA, 98 Woodville Rd, Woodville
CARA Picnic Started at 9.30am setting the BBQ trailer up, and commenced cooking 9.45/10.00 until just after 12.00pm when we completed the task with the other Rotary Club of West Lakes who had their BBQ trailer and 8 members, great helpers. Look forward to most properly doing it again next year. Again we had a team of members who cooked or helped, transferred or just help were ever possible. Tony will not need to do any more onions for a while because we did approx. 25-30kg, and then Vegetation Food, and the shasliks Paul will not need to do any more Sausages, chicken & Beef Shasliks, or Patties for a while, as these were never ending supply to cook. And we had 2 members from West Lakes Rotary who also cooked on our BBQ again an endless supply of sausages, and then shasliks as well. Sue & Katarina were everywhere either preparing for the cooks, helping to put food on the BBQ, taking cooked food to the gas Ovens for storage, they did a great job And I helping were ever necessary Again a great event by those who attended and a BIG THANKS should be given for their help on a great day to help CARA celebrate their 2016 picnic again.

SPONSORS’ NEWSLETTER MARCH, 2016
"Empowering Indonesian Children for a Brighter Future"
Project 36-2009-10 # Indonesia Embraces Changes
Changes are in the air! We are pleased to inform you of proposals to review the aims and objectives of
this project to better meet the guidelines of Rotary International and RAWCS Ltd for a sustainable
development project. We wish to shed any previous perception that this was merely a ‘welfare project.’
Poverty is still rife in Indonesia. You will notice the Project Name has been changed to: “Empowering
Indonesian Children for a Brighter Future.”
We have consulted with our partners, Salvation Army, Indonesia and Rotary e-Club Jakarta Gunawarman.
A recent survey provided valuable insight into ways Project 36-2009-10 # Indonesia may better serve the
needs of the orphans and impoverished children you sponsor. Of particular note was the realisation that
students deriving the greatest benefit from this project are the older ones — senior High School pupils and
students at tertiary level. Because of financial and family constraints many children quit school
prematurely, often seeking work, usually menial and unfulfilling, thus never reaching their true potential.
Page 9
Our consultations with our partners in Indonesia have revealed a need to provide financial support and
incentive to encourage students to complete their High School education and, if capable, to continue to
tertiary or vocational college; or university. Despite their adversity some students have already achieved a
qualification or a degree and are grateful for the modest assistance our project has provided. Not all
students will necessarily be capable of furthering their education beyond high school but let's provide an
opportunity for those that are, to realise their goals. Let’s empower these children for a brighter future!
Nowadays, primary school education is free to all children in Indonesia. However the additional cost of
bags, school books, pens and pencils; and clothing, especially footwear, imposes a considerable burden
on Salvation Army (approx. AU$200 - $400). We will continue to support these children as in the past. At
high school, the costs for extra-curricular activities and books and uniforms rises exponentially (AU$700 -
$800), as every parent comes to realise.
There are currently 297 students on our register, living in 17 Salvation Army Homes throughout Indonesia.
Many others need sponsors. The number of children in the homes varies (4 – 25). We have 77 individual
or corporate sponsors; and 88 Rotary Club sponsors; 11 Rotary Clubs sponsor three or more students.
We, the Salvation Army, and most especially the children are extremely appreciative of the generous
support freely given by all sponsors. With our help they can become future leaders and professionals in
their community. Thank you.More sponsors are needed! To successfully implement changes we are
proposing, considerable extra funding is required. If your Rotary Club can help; or if you know other
people who may wish to sponsor a child please put them in touch with us.
We hope every Rotary Club will donate $550 min/year.
52 years on, (this project began in 1964) we are proposing some changes to the aims and objectives to
improve development of this project. We trust we will continue to receive your support and endorsement.
Please give these your careful consideration:
FROM THE HERALD
The Herald is a pin board full of short messages that are a joy to share. The weekly goal is for 5 pages in
total covering at least 10 stories. This publication is for Rotarians on the move, so read it on your watch,
your phone, pad and laptop. DG Dick would like to be assured that most Rotarians in our District read “The
Herald”, and use it share their stories. Editor Sam Cozens is waiting for your story and photo for the next
2015-16 District Directory online Find your way around the District. Check out the District Directory (District Officers and Committees) Photo Albums – click here to see Kiosk Album including photos of the fire at the Kiosk in 1998. Changes have been made to our Club Website, particularly in the “Member Area”. If you would like to have
a look go to www.morialta.org.au. You will need a password. Please contact Judy or Alan if don’t remember
it. It is no longer “undertaker”. If you know what it is remember the uppercase “R”.
