Fellow Rotarians and Friends, Again, a very big thank you to the many Rotarians that returned to our regular weekly meeting on Monday, May 9th. Our guest speaker Con as it turns out, grew up just across of the Juniors and is a true local. Con was very engaging, and the statistic he presented were baffling as were the amazing opportunities that will come with Australia working closer with India. As you know, Michael is looking for good guest speakers and if you have any leads, please sent them to him directly. Please remember to invite your local contacts to join us at our meetings as we want to focus on increasing our membership. This Saturday, Rotarians will join the SECC for the SECC Family Fun Day held on Evans Ave, Eastlakes in the Jack Mundey Reserve at 12:00 (noon). I am looking forward to your ongoing support and commitment to the Rotary Club of Maroubra.

Message from the President Fellow Rotarians and Friends, A big thank you to the many Rotarians that returned to our regular weekly meeting on Monday, May 2nd. We are back to normal, and I hope going forward that we can pick up and build on where we left off. With this in mind, we have secured an excellent guest speaker for Monday, May 9, which will be the start of many interesting speakers to be featured. For this Monday, please invite interested businesspeople to this presentation. This may be a very enlightening presentation and discussion which is a great opportunity for business, networking and of course potential Rotary membership. One of our most important goals is to increase our membership. Due to the new reality, we live in now, there is a great need for community-based organisations such as us, as we can provide great benefits to business, social networking and community work. Therefore, I request that you please invite your local contacts to join us at any regular meeting. As the Rotary year is winding up there are many conferences and events as well as awards. You will receive this information in direct emails from our secretary. Please engage in these as much as you can. I am looking forward to support and commitment to the Rotary Club of Maroubra. Yours in Rotary, Francis President 2021-22

Fellow Rotarians and Friends, After consulting with the board, please note that we are suspending our face-to-face meeting until Monday, May 2. The reason for this decision is the current low rates of attendance, due mainly to the ongoing infection worries as well as the fact that April has a lot of Public Holidays that fall on Monday so we would not be having meetings anyway. So please put May 2nd into your calendar and aim to be present to relaunch our meetings like we had pre-covid. As you know heavy rain has and is likely to continue in the coming days, and many are feeling anxious about it. It is perfectly normal if you feel unsure about these rains, agitated, anxious or else. We have gone through difficult and exhausting times, and we need to acknowledge that any tension we feel within is normal. Here are a few things you can do: • Protect yourself from further harm • Acknowledge your concerns and address them calmly • If you feel like it, seek an opportunity to share your feelings with someone • Help others by deeply and compassionately listening to their feelings • Seek professional support if needed. In the meantime, please spare a thought for the many flood victims and consider donating funds to RAWCS. To make a donation to the appeal go to - https://directory.rawcs.com.au/47-2021-22 Please stay safe and positive.

(RAWCS) National Flood Appeal Funds raised will provide financial assistance to flood victims in Queensland and Northern New South Wales – February 2022. It aims to assist those affected to get their lives and businesses back to normal as soon as possible. Around 15000 homes have been flooded and some owners will be needing assistance to clean and refurbish their residences. Individuals who are adversely affected and require assistance will be identified and be given funds to help with their recovery. The priority is to get funds quickly to those who are in need to help them with the cleanup and damage caused by the floods. https://rawcs.org.au/ |

Fellow Rotarians and Friends, Rotarian Vivienne was not well and could not represent our Club at the District Conference which was held this past weekend (18th to 20th March). At the time of writing this message, it was not clear if WEFT was able to find volunteers for their stall at the conference. Unfortunately, last week the speaker was not able to come due to the vaccination restrictions at the Juniors. This current policy by the Juniors is up for review in May. Considering that Cruise Ships are coming back in April there may be a swift change in direction. With the ongoing health situation, cancelled speakers and other issues, attendance at the meetings are low. Due to this, the weekly Durran Dura will not be printed and you will receive an electronic version instead. You may have noticed the tremendous amount of flights coming and going from Sydney Airport with business travel, students and tourists returning. Sydney will soon be booming again and with it, we will need to return to our meetings and projects to full swing. Please attend our meetings as we need your participation, fellowship and friendship. Looking forward to your continuous support. Yours in Rotary, Francis President 2021-22

Fellow Rotarians and Friends, Firstly, a very big thank you to all who welcomed the Lord Mayor of Randwick Dylan Parker, to our Rotary Club of Maroubra. I understand it was a fabulous evening and an interesting address by the Mayor. We have a fantastic lineup of guest speakers (thanks Michael). It is essential that we attend the meetings and be a good audience for these speakers or else we may not be able to attract future speakers. Looking forward to your continuous support. Yours in Rotary, Francis Rotary Club of Maroubra President 2021-22

Fellow Rotarians and Friends, The rain stays mainly in NSW … or is it Spain? Anyway, I hope you are all dry, safe, and happy. Unfortunately, this is not the case for many of our country towns. I am sure that there are many ways you can help, and I hope you do. Two of the many organisations raising funds to assist those affected by floods are Rotary Australia World Community Service (RAWCS) Ltd https://rawcs.org.au and the Salvation Army on https://www.salvationarmy.org.au/. This Monday, March 7 we are not only hosting the Lord Mayor of Randwick Cr Dylan Parker but more importantly, he will be inducted as an honorary member of the Rotary Club of Maroubra. It is requested that all able members attend this meeting. The Rotary Club of Botany Randwick will join us for this auspicious occasion. The District Conference will be held from 18th to 20th March. If you are interested to participate, please look up the details on: https://www.rotarydistrict9675.org/Stories/district-conference-18th-to-20th March. Looking forward to your continuous support. Yours in Rotary, Francis Rotary Club of Maroubra President 2021-22

Fellow Rotarians and Friends, After a very tumultuous year, we have now come to the season when we celebrate with family & friends to give thanks, renew our faith and love for one another. It is a time to celebrate all the achievements, achieved under very difficult and unprecedented times, and also recharge for a new year with optimism and energy. With this in mind, I would like to sincerely thank all of you for persevering and pressing on with our Rotary meetings and projects. I would like to personally thank Judi for her many contributions to the club and Wayne for taking over as our Treasurer. Especially a big thank you to John for the tremendous amount of secretarial works he has managed including our banking and investments. A very special thank you to Vivienne for keeping our current projects with the SECC and WeftShop going. Thank you also to Michael for his phenomenal knack to attract excellent guest speakers. Also, a very special thanks to Simon for representing me in conducting the face-to-face meetings and events. Special thanks to the 'editorial' team Emma, Eileen and Joe, and to Jan for his continued work on the market project. In the new year, we hope to recommence our regular face-to-face meetings. The first meeting will be the Eastern Suburbs joint meeting. The RC Bondi Junction will host this meeting at the Eastern Suburbs Rugby Club on Tuesday, 18th January 2022. Hence our first meeting at the Juniors will be the following week on January 24, 2022. I wish you all a very peaceful and loving Christmas, and a healthy and back to 'normal' 2022 .

 What is it like taking a large team to Africa? It has probably been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life. In mid February, I began leading Rotary members from all over the East Coast of the United States through Ghana. I’ve tried to give the team a warm Ghanaian welcome like I’ve received on my earlier trips. A large trip is a real blessing because each person sees Ghana and our work in a different way. A highlight for the team was greeting the chief of Sagadugu. The team got excited about buying goats and food for children in the villages where I support eight churches. It was good to see the pastors of most of the eight churches, and I had to explain that we were just passing through on our way to Bolgatanga.

 Music has been an important part of leading an ordinary life for students at the Music School for Children With Disabilities in Honor of Paul Harris in Lublin, Poland. Founded by Rotary members, the school serves 20 students with various disabilities, including Down syndrome, autism, and visual impairments. The Rotary Club of Lublin-Centrum-Maria Curie-Sklodowska has provided funding with help from Rotary Foundation Matching Grants and the Henryk Wieniawski Musical Society, which houses the school. After their son Mateusz was born with underdeveloped eyes, Mariusz and Joanna Kania looked for ways to help him be active. When he showed an aptitude for music, they looked for a teacher and were thrilled to find the Paul Harris music school.

 For years, Angalia Bianca had slept in abandoned buildings throughout Chicago. She stole. She did drugs. She spent time in and out of jail for forgery, theft, trespassing, and possession of narcotics. But after she landed in prison for the seventh time, something changed -- Bianca knew she wanted a better life. She just didn’t know how to make it happen. After serving her time, Bianca sought help from a local homeless organization, A Safe Haven, and moved to its shelter in the Rogers Park neighborhood. Bianca followed the program closely -- she attended all the required meetings, passed drug tests, and volunteered at every opportunity.

 Throughout India and around the world, Rotary clubs are celebrating a major milestone: India has gone three years without a new case of polio. The last reported case was a two-year-old girl in West Bengal on 13 January 2011. To mark this historic triumph, Rotary clubs illuminated landmarks and iconic structures throughout the country with four simple but powerful words, "India is polio free." The three-year achievement sets the stage for polio-free certification of the entire Southeast Asia region by the World Health Organization. The Indian government also plans to convene a polio summit in February to commemorate this victory in the global effort to eradicate polio.
