A warm welcome to and Guest Speaker, Rotary’s own, Jerry Casburn (Rotary Club of Unley). Colin and Pauline are now sunning it on the Gold Coast while the Gascoines are chilling out or just chilling at Robe. Report on the Blow Hole please.

According to Simon today we were celebrating a national culinary treasure, so what it it? Well no one knew that 21st July was National Lamington Day. On the sweets theme he went on to ask what was our favourite sweet or dessert. Some of us just preferred savory, but many just recalled their mother’s pièce de résistance as still their preferred dessert. .

As the name suggests, RAWCS is an Australian based Rotary Program, which assists Australian Rotary Clubs with the development and management of community service projects. Donations are Tax Deductible. RAWCS is NOT The Rotary Foundation, but can work with TRF on District and Global projects. RAWCS programs are extensive: www.rawcs.org.au Some are:

• Project Funding • Project Volunteers – contact Joe Meuris - joe.meuris@bigpond.com • Donations in Kind (DIK) • Rotarians against Malaria (RAM) contact Cherilyn Fleming – cherilynf@optusnet.com.au • Safe Water Saves Lives (SWSL) contact Malcolm Langmaid – langmaid@ace.net.au • Rotary Australia Overseas Aid Fund (RAOAF) • Rotary Australia Benevolent Society (RABS) contact Graeme Dodsworth – gidod@chariot.net.au • Rotary Development Disaster Fund • Drought Relief Fund

Some RAWCS Financial Highlights

• Donations last year were in excess of $24.5M • Selected by Federal Government Drought Funds to administer distribution of $11.5M • Administration Charge of 2.75% on donations including GST

Reading between the lines, I see RAWCS as an excellent way to cut through the crap of red and green tape. When I was a tax payer, I saw non-deductibility as a fetter to donating to Rotary causes, but not so with RAWCS. I was also unaware of the role of Rotary Australia Benevolent Society (RABS) and now that we are I’m sure that in my year of presidency that we will come across someone who will qualify for a hand up via RABS. Thanks Jerry, for you snappy presentation. As Jerry said, we are our own worst enemy when it comes to blowing our own trumpet (one too many metaphors), so let’s think RAWCS. Let’s get corporates involved encouraged by tax breaks using RAWCS

Treasurer Ian and spouse Suzette will be representing the club at the handover of hay at Hawker, 31 July. Ian will also be assigned the role OC Sausage Sizzle. Photos please Ian (preferably of you sucking on a staw)

Hi all, I seem to recall that members of your Club have walked previously in the Hutt St Walk. Members of our Club intend to do so again this year. Whilst I can understand why the event probably can't proceed as normal this year, that doesn't necessarily stop Rotarians doing their normal thing. As a suggestion would your walkers be interested in still doing a walk starting in Victoria Park, say from around 7.30, and then adjoining somewhere for a coffee or breakfast., with appropriate physical distancing. Perhaps we could even walk two miles. We already have a few starters from RC Eastwood. On the day we can also share with you are new event raising money for Aust Rotary Health. Parambir (parambir@sekhonlawyers.com) from our Club is our Champion walker, so please advise both him and I if you are keen to actually do the walk as a group on Friday 7 August. Regards Don Will

Ian Coat has indicated that he will be a participant. Anyone else chat with Ian for Team Magill. For more details and register click Walk a Mile in my Boots link https://www.huttstcentre.org.au/get-involved/walk_a_mile_in_my_boots

Ever wondered why humans have lost most of their body hair (with the exception of IPP Greg who fessed up about his hirsute condition)? Well, it’s kept me awake at nights, but according to Bill Bryson’s latest book, ‘The Body’, the loss of body hair follicles and increase in sweat glands allows the human body to cool the blood more efficiently. This means that our cool blood can cool the human brain. Without efficient cooling of the brain it could not increase in size and therefore, restrict our intelligence. Family shot of Greg as kid at older cousin’s wedding. Sorry Greg.

The Club has grabbed the opportunity to feed the masses starting this coming Sunday. Heccies Footy has been forced out of it’s regular home (and ours) at the Hectorville Community and Sports Club because of refurbishments (boy are they slow going) and has transferred to the salubrious facilities at Campbelltown Memorial Oval. This is convenient because we have all of our BBQ gear at the same spot. Rotarians of the Year, Graham and Robyn Holcroft have taken up the challenge to lead the charge. Thanks Robyn and Graham. See you there.

• Board Meeting 22 July via Zoom • 26 July BBQ Campbelltown Memorial Oval AM till PM and every Sunday thereafter till end of Sep. • Hayrun to Hawker 31 July • Market returns 9 August

Pauline is one of our regular stallholders at our monthly market and promotes Manatech health products.

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 we give thanks.
