Presidents Report from Kristin Ballard

Last week we planned for our combined 60th

, Hat Day and Changeover on the 27 June 2012.

Last Friday I took our two participants (a girl and a boy) down to Moga for RYPEN (Rotary YouthProgram of Enrichment) a very slow trip down with all the roadworks unfortunately but a bettertrip on Sunday. I believe both of them enjoyed the camp and we will arrange for them to talk to uslater probably after Doug gets back from his trip.

Andrew and Natalie assisted with the BBQ at the Megaswim AIS with the Rotary Club ofQueanbeyan West on Sunday morning.

Our first meeting for the Relay for Life has been scheduled for 29 May 2012Taras on the go

again.

It is with great sadness that I report that Bills and my brother in law Neville Lazarus passed awaylast evening.

Tonight we will be meeting at the Helenic Club where with all the other clubs we will welcomeKalyan Banerjee President of Rotary International to Canberra.

Next week Bill and I will be away taking my Mum and doing some family history research aroundMaitland, Singleton and Newcastle which I am really looking forward to.

Our guest speaker next week is Matt Napier from the Qbn Tigers AFLClub who will talk about his charity ride from Perth to Canberra.

Hi There!My name is Lara and this year I am driving from Canberra to Darwin (5000kms) in my 1988 Toyota Corollato travel and volunteer my way around this sunburnt country.For the entirety of my journey I will offer to send a postcard from anywhere I visit, or of a theme (such asthe beach, reptiles, cheese - anything!), to anyone who wishes to donate to Shelterbox. Hence I have namedmy fundraiser"From Letterboxes to Shelterboxes"

Those who wish to participate can request a postcard via my website (address below). My request is thatonce they receive their postcard, they make a minimum donation of the average cost of a postcard and stamp- AUD$1.60 for Australia or AUD$2.60 for overseas donors.I would LOVE it if you got involved and I got to send a postcard out to you! Or you could request to haveone sent to a friend on your behalf (to anywhere in Australia, or the world). If you have any questions orqueries, please feel free to drop me a line:letterboxshelterbox@hotmail.comI have a website:http://letterboxshelterbox.wordpress.com/Facebook page:From Letterboxes To ShelterboxesTwitter feed:@lettertoshelterAnd now a video!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwuDqadgMJ4My friend and I just finished producing it - after 2 weeks and a heroic 12-hour stint on the last day, it is nowlive! Filmed on location in Canberra. It was great fun!Most of all please pass this onto anyone you know who would be interested in getting involved. I find thatsocial media is a highly effective (and free) publicity tool, so even sharing this on your Facebook pagewould be ace.Thanks for reading, and I hope to be writing you a postcard soon!Cheers,Lara Marks-Nash

Around the world, 1.2 billion people live in extreme poverty. That means they live on less than $2per day the Australian equivalent of the extreme poverty line.

That's just $2 per day for all their food and drink, living expenses, medical expenses, andeducation. It's hardly living.

From May 7th to 11th Elise will spend just $2 a day on food and drink to raise awareness andmoney to help those living in extreme poverty.

Can you support her and donate $2 now?
