Helena Griffiths (Ashleigh Symes' mum) will speak on behalf of her employer, the ‘Australian Institute of Ultrasound’. They are an ultrasound training institute based in Broadbeach and require volunteers to assist in student ultrasound training. Although they do not provide diagnostic reports, they will advise the patient and their doctor of any incidental findings that may be identified and some volunteers boast them having saved their life multiple times over. -

Helena Griffiths (Ashleigh Symes' mum) will speak on behalf of her employer, the ‘Australian Institute of Ultrasound’. They are an ultrasound training institute based in Broadbeach and require volunteers to assist in student ultrasound training. Although they do not provide diagnostic reports, they will advise the patient and their doctor of any incidental findings that may be identified and some volunteers boast them having saved their life multiple times over. As per President Mitch's message above, these photos were sent to to Bryan Tuesley, our wheelchair "foreman", from PNG, where they were deployed by Del Cole ('Someone Who Cares' Gold Coast based charity). Good to see that our work is doing good. Give yourselves a pat on the back!
Recently, the Police called...Wheelchair Trust Chairman Larry Murray, once he had calmed down, was happy to learn that it had nothing to do with disorderly behaviour, speeding or - thanks the lord - yet another break-in. They had some 20-odd unclaimed bicycles the "Cop Shop" wanted to give us. Yes please! And by the looks of it, they even delivered it to the project shed.
Angie opened her discourse with the story of a young woman, living in her electorate: The massive cost of living increase causes her constituent acute stress. And the forecast is that over the next months inflation will get even worse. Families struggle, not only due to inflation, but also due to rise of interest rates. The Reserve Bank tries to get inflation back to a target band of 2 – 3%. “The average family, due to inflation, is $25,000 worse off” Angie said. There is nothing in the recent budget to help people who suffer from mortgage stress, nothing for retirees, nothing for local communities, nothing for small business. Angie also referred to bracket creep in taxation.On job seeking, the opposition’s policy is to allow people who are on welfare to work more hours before their benefits get affected. She is the product of 3 generations of factory workers in South Australia. “The harder you work the luckier you get” is her motto. She also elaborated on the Superannuation changes and Early Learning. In relation to the latter, the major issue is not just money, it is getting access to it: in many regions, there isn’t sufficient staff.
In her capacity as the newly appointed Shadow Minister for Youth, Angie formed a ‘Youth Cabinet’ across the Gold Coast. She then organised and chaired a summit, the ‘Gold Coast Impact Youth Summit’ with the aim of giving young people opportunities, “the same opportunities I had as a young person”. Some 200 young people from public and private schools, and community groups attended.
Angie told us about a young, somewhat dejected man who came to her office seeking help. At the recent Youth Summit he was included in a break-out group where he could meet with people who went to university (or planned to go); let’s call them people he would consider privileged and opposite to his situation. Of course, the frank exchange of views proved beneficial for both sides.
Angie concluded by relating some information on workng with her colleagues and her leader, Peter Dutton. “Peter Dutton has the hardest job in Australia, but he has a great sense of humour” she said. [Yes, quite different to what the press, particularly our national broadcaster and the left-leaning press, loves to depict him… But Rotary’s creed is to be above politics, so allow me to desist from further elaborating… Ed.]
Yesterday, President Elect Doug Lipp was joined by Ross Augustine, Graeme Isaacson, Ann O'Connor and myself at the District Development Assembly. DG Elect David Harmon chose a different format to previous years, with higher emphasis on modern methods. Good, informative speakers, particularly on Social Media presented by - for Rotary standards - very young PP Candice Olivier (RC Gold Coast Passport) and on Membership by the guru of Membership development in Australia, Mark Huddlestone. (Here is a wake-up question: "Are our meetings an efficient and professional use of our time?" Personally, I think they are, even though I say so myself, I think we have good meetings. But what is your view? Speak out! Ed.) And there was more! Much more. Such as, quite in contrast to the warm, fuzzy-feeling-inducing presentation of previous speakers, District Insurance Officer John Guiricin gave us a rather sobering summation on Rotary Insurance. For example, the "Hold Harmless" clause in many contracts with third parties (such as the council) are dynamite! Planning to hold a Rotary event at somebody's home? NOT covered! Do we have an Insurance Officer in the club?You should have been there. All of you.
Secreted in the depths of the vast organisation that is The Rotary Foundation (TRF) is a (regrettably little promoted) effort to foster peace and world understanding: The Peace & Conflict Resolution scholars. One of seven universities worldwide that host these courses, fully sponsored by TRF, is located at the Unversity of Queensland, St Lucia Campus.
Last Saturday, the annual Rotary Peace Fellows seminar took place there. Ray Higgs, a former District Chair of the District 9640 committee and I attended the shindig. Titled 'Fostering Peace - leave no one behind', after some rather formal "feel good" introductions by various dignitaries, we enjoyed the presentation of the scholars. So you thought "scholar" equals "young student" or "crusty academic"? Got news for you. Just two examples: there was a former member of parliament of the US State of Montana (MT), Jennifer Eck (2nd from left), who after six years in politics decided to get deeper into conflict resolution. Or a Marine Corps executive officer of the US Fleet Anti Terrorism Team, Nicholas Millward (1st left), who lived with the nomads of Mongolia (yes, the country stuck right in-between China and Russia). They don't come much more interesting than that.
We plan to go again next year (if we are invited) - let us know if you'd like to join. Or we might organise a "big event" where we invite some of the scholars to speak at a combined club meeting. Are you in it?

Last Wednesday, the three Rotary clubs, Surfers Sunrise, Broadbeach and Gold Coast celebrated the official hand-over of the X-Ray and Pathology Unit, destined for Pentecost Island, Vanuatu. The building was constructed, then dismantled and flat-packed into a container at our project shed in Arundel. Mid-February, the containers were on the way to be shipped to their destination. Some 60 attendees enjoyed a hearty breakfast at Catalina Cafe on Broadwater Parklands, honoured by the presence of several dignitaries, including our District Governor Karen Thomas and Assistant Governor Sheila Ponting, local MPs John Paul Langbroek and Sam O'Connor, Councillors Ryan Baildon-Lumsden and Darren Taylor, the President of the Gold Coast Medical Association, Professor Philip Morris, just to name a few. Regrettably, the dignitaries expected from Vanuatu were unable to join us, due to the massive devastation that was caused by the two cyclones that recently struck their country.
Master of Ceremonies Trent Belling, a third generation Rotarian as he proudly introduced himself, led the proceedings with aplomb. Mario Fairlie and Dr Graham Sivyer, who together with Greg Bowler were the project's leaders, provided a brief outline of its history. They had visited Vanuatu twice, both the destination at Pentecost Island as well as for meetings with authorities in the capital Port Vila. This should ensure a smooth transfer once the containers have arrived at Port Vila. Well deserved, they also gave the "inventor" and leader of the building concept, Des La Rance OAM due credit. "There would have been a thousand people involved all up," Mario emphasised, "from the helpers on the ground to the individual donors of both finances and materials. Equally important is that we recognise the Global Grant from The Rotary Foundation and not least the young Rotaractors. Young people are essential to have around, not just for young ideas, but for physically demanding work".
Local member for Surfers Paradise, John Paul Langbroek briefly outlined how important the ongoing work with South Pacific countries, at all levels of Government as well as at basic population basis is. "JPL", a diminutive he is fondly referred to by his friends and colleagues, has had extensive experience with Trade Missions into these countries, including PNG and Vanuatu. JPL also acknowledged our achievement of some 11,000 wheelchairs that have been despatched to all corners of the world.
District Governor Karen Thomas referred to the "ROSE" award (Recognition of Significant Effort) which she recently presented to the three clubs at the District Conference in Yamba. This was in recognition of our three clubs successfully working together on this massive project.
The two containers are now at sea. On-site re-erection of the building and the commissioning of the X-Ray and Pathology equipment is expected to take place in June. Watch this spot!

If you asked me what I enjoy most about Rotary, my answer would always be "the fellowship". But a close second would be "being surrounded by people who know more", experts in their chosen field of endeavour. Last Wednesday, our member Ashleigh Symes, who together with Charles Thomasson makes up our club's Wilsons Advisory Corporate Membership team, presented on Superannuation. A rather dry subject you might have thought. And the rainy weather provided a fitting background to "putting something away for a rainy day". Think again!So you thought Super was simply a matter of your employer (or yourself, if you are self employed) compulsorily putting a fair whack of your income away, which you can't touch until you retire. Then, hopefully, you'll have enough money to buy food, pay for petrol, indulge in the odd dinner and a nice bottle of red, until you leave this mortal coil. Then, what's left of your Super will automatically, tax free, be inherited by your offspring... Hold it! Not so fast! You may be quite wrong.
In short: you should have been there to get the full benefit of Ashleigh's seminar. But she has given me permission to upload her key points to our website - see Download Files on the right. Keep in mind, they are just key points. You might be well advised to seek the services of a professional. Such as Ashleigh at Wilsons Advisory.
"We were woken up at 4.30 am to the sound of our camp leaders screaming various commands, including to rush outside and do a wall sit... in our pyjamas! It then went on to challenge both our physical and mental strength for the next TWO HOURS." Uttered by a teenager, you might think that sounds like a complaint... You are sooo wrong!Chelsea and Zahra had only 5 minutes before having to rush off to school, but they certainly made good use of the time to relate their experiences of attending the recent RYTS (Rotary Youth Transition Seminar) camp, sponsored by our club. This is the very essence of Rotary Youth Service. The girls have given me permission to upload their speech to our website - see Download Files on the right.
Wow! Two ROSE (Recognition Of Significant Effort) awards were presented to our club at the District Conference. This is a new award designed (I assume) by District Governor Karen Thomas, presented this morning. I admit I wasn't even aware of the awards, not to mention their presentation.One is for the monumental joint effort with the Rotary Clubs of Broadbeach and Gold Coast in building the Mauna Health Centre (recently packed up and on the way to Vanuatu), the other for 'Improving the Club Public Image' by frequent posts to our website and Facebook pages.
Well, fellow members, associates, Rotaractors and helpers and the project shed: give yourself a pat on the back! You are permitted an extra biscuit or piece of cake next Wednesday morning! 
After the greetings and apologies (Peter Morgan (foot in plaster), Geoff Croad (in the country of the long white cloud) and Mario Fairlie (just had a knee operation) President Mitch commenced with a summary of goals set at the beginning of the Rotary year, compared to where we stand today. See the PDF in the Download section on the right:
- We are almost there to getting a Presidential Citation. Of the goals we have not achieved, we have some which can indeed be achieved by 30th June. Others, such as No 4, 5, 6 and 7 we should achieve. I should say "will achieve", there is little doubt.
- #12 - 2 Media Stories. All going according to plan, we'll have media present at our big PR event on 5th April (see separate article).
- So, all in all, we are on the right track.
Directors presented their individual reports: Club Service, Membership, Foundation, Fundraising all going well and according to plan - no detailed outline necessary.
Services Director Larry Murray's:
- We have completely run out of ready made wheelchairs for despatch - they are all gone to South Africa and Vanuatu respectively.
- We have materials (castors, plywood, wheels, tyres) for 150 sets in stock
- The Gold Coast University Hospital will deliver a container to be filled with hospital beds, destined for Donations in Kind
- With the assistance of our new members Evan Mita and Jake Richards, who work with Mission Australia, we'll develop new programs to attact young people, including Rotaractors
Youth Service Director Ashleigh Symes:
- We have had / have participants in RYLA, RYPEN, RYTS - 4 applications so far for the upcoming camp.
- We will again work with the Surfers Paradise SLSC to present a Lutzy Award
- International Youth Exchange will start up again
- Looking to find a National Youth Science Forum candidate
Treasurer Charles Thomasson:
- Paid $8,000 for the container to South Africa - you can track its progress - click here
- Good income from the Bunnings Barbeques, but we need it!
- Special thanks to Adrian Crowe who has organised 8 sites to collect Containers for Change
- Special thanks to our former member Col Laurenson, who is still very active in organising the containers and logistics to ship wheelchairs and other goods to their overseas destinations.
The meeting concluded on time at 08:30 am - always a good sign of competent chairmanship. Thank you, President Mitch.
Many hands make light work... OK, so it wasn't exactly light (unless you compare it to disassembling an entire building and stacking it in a container, as we did on the weekend). Great turn-up this morning to fill a 40 foot, high container with 306 wheelchairs, bound for the hinterlands of South Africa. By the time it was time to have breakfast, it was all loaded! A special "Thank You!" to Col Laurenson, who arranged the container and all the logistics and shipping paperwork. Photos by Charles Thomasson. From left: Doug Lipp, Charles Thomasson, Franz Huber, President Mitch Brown, Mark Twyford, Darrell Brown, Col Laurenson, Neil Thurlow, David Blackmore (guest of Doug Lipp), Andy Bell (not in picture) and of course to our bar-be-que chef, Angus Miller.

Last week, Mario Fairlie and Dr Graham Sivyer (RC of Broadbeach) visited Port Vila in preparation of the delivery and installation of the X-Ray Unit for Mauna Health Centre on Pentecost Island. There, they met with various officials from the Vanuatu authorities, including Dr Richard Leone, Head of Surgery (who originally instigated the project when on a visit to Australia). This was to ensure a smooth and incident-free transfer of our container from wharf, through Customs and on to a barge and ongoing transport to Pentecost Island.Watch this space for a full report in next week's bulletin.

In view of the Wheelchair Trust Deed's fairly strict limitations (money donated can only be spent on materials for wheelchairs and nothing else, not even for the shipment to their destination), we have registered an alternative account for Containers for Change. If you deposit your empties directly, and wish to donate the proceeds to the Surfers Sunrise Rotary Club - General Account, please use this account code:
C10262571
(The account for the Wheelchair Trust is also still active: use C10199443 instead).
So, keep your soft drink bottles, stubby bottles, aluminium cans, milk cartons etc. As a general rule, most drink containers between 150ml and 3L can be returned for a refund under Queensland's container deposit scheme. Containers should be empty, unbroken, the lid removed and display a 10-cent refund marking on the label. Something like the image (right), but many others are simply marked as suitable for recycling. Note: they must NOT be crushed. See image above what is and what is not accepted. For details of what can / cannot be returned for cash, and where the locations are, click on this link. 
Congratulations to Pieta Jackman who at this morning's meeting was presented with the Lutzy Award - including a flash new paddle board. The award is in memory of our Charter Member Keith Lutz who passed away in 2013. It is presented to a young emerging leader, selected by a committee of the Surfers Paradise Surf Life Saving Club. As David Orchy from the SLSC pointed out: the selection of Pieta was unanimous. Jan Lutz, who this morning presented the award for the 7th time in honour of her late husband, said "They do a magnificent job in all areas and the vibe between them and our wonderful Surfers Paradise Surf Club just keeps going. I am very pleased to still be part of it, although today was more difficult due to the recent loss of Jason [their son - Ed.]. So maybe I can be excused for not ramping up on the speech. Good luck Rotarians, with all your future dealings."

In accordance with our District Governor’s theme of ‘Respecting Diversity, Equity and Inclusion’, Mitch started off with an Acknowledgment of Country, paying due respect to the original inhabitants. (He promised that he’ll work to get the greeting in the Yugambeh language perfect. [Though he didn't stipulate in which one of the four dialects (Mananjahli (Wangerriburra), Minyangbal, Ngahnduwal or Nerang Creek... ☺ Ed.]Commencing with a brief outline of Rotary’s first female International President, Jennifer Jones (see a full outline in the recently published District Governor’s Newsletter), he emphasised his determination to achieve our club’s stated goals. “You can’t save the entire world, you can’t do everything,” he said, “so what can we realistically do?”
Briefly outlining our Weaknesses and Strengths. Our weakness: our members are, in effect, a ‘WASP’ (White, Anglo Saxon Protestant). But we have the strength of security, knowledge and contacts, motivation, and personal and business success. Surfers Sunrise Rotary has lots of potential.
What can we do? We have always been strong in Youth Service. We intend to continue this, with at least one participant in the major programs. Further, our major asset, the Project Shed could be utilised more extensively. We could associate with an external organisation and make the venue available for their purposes. Membership must be strengthened to broaden our demographic with more younger - and particularly female - members. Let’s look for female leaders!
There are much more details, including a full list of our goals, in Mitch’s PowerPoint presentation (which, unfortunately, at the meeting could not be displayed due to technical issues). It is uploaded to the Download Section on the right.
At many Rotary events (actually the majority) the meal consists of an alternative drop of fish/chicken and steak/roast. Not at Surfers Sunrise! We had an excellent start of the new Rotary year with our Changeover Luncheon at Bambino's Italian Ristorante, eating a variety of different pizzas and pasta. As is the rule with Surfers Sunrise Rotary, speeches were very short and fellowship very big. Welcome new President Mitch Brown! Some highlights:Simon Brook was Master of Ceremonies and kept the formal procedures to the brevity Surfers Sunrise Rotary has been known for the past 3 decades... We were honoured by (now Past) District Governor Jeff Egan, representing Rotary International who gave us an equally brief reply to the Toast to Rotary International. Outgoing President Paul Seymour briefly outlined our club's activities and achievements for the past 12 months, then presented the club's recognitions and awards:
Paul Harris Fellowships to Angus Miller, Paul O'Neill, Adrian Crowe, Ian Mayberry and Mario Fairlie.
The major awards were received by
- Doug Waller Trophy: Mitch Brown
- Fellowship Cup: Darrell Brown (accepted by Andy Bell on his behalf)
- Quiet Achiever: Doug Lipp
- And the "big one" - Rotarian of the Year (determined by silent poll by the members): Geoff Croad
Congratulations to all!
Following the presentation, Paul handed the President's collar to Mitch Brown, who after a brief address introduced his new board (see photo above). For more photos see the Photo Album section on the right.
The Changeover Report has been uploaded - see Download Section on the right. It includes the President's, Treasurer's as well as the individual chairmen's reports, as well as a summary of the past year's speakers and events.
Rotary International’s incoming President for 2022-23, Jennifer E Jones took office on the 1st July, making history as the first female president in Rotary history. She is a member of the Rotary Club of Windsor Roseland, Ontario, Canada, and founder and president of Media Street Productions, an award-winning media company in Windsor. Having previously served Rotary in a variety of roles including vice president, director, and Rotary Foundation trustee, her talents have strengthened Rotary’s reach and impact. Learn more about Jones in a profile in the July issue of Rotary magazine. Watch the presidential changeover ceremony on Facebook.
During her year, she will focus on four presidential initiatives that Imagine Rotary:
- · advancing our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI);
- · creating a welcoming club experience;
- · empowering girls; and
- · expanding our reach.
Read the entire story of the Presidential Initiatives. The site is very comprehensive. It also includes video messages.
In the olden days, for a new member to join a Rotary club the unofficial rule was, expressed in simple terms, he should be "somebody who is in a position to hire and fire". Yes, 'he'. Thankfully, around 1987, the 'he' was expanded to also include the fairer sex. There were lots of other rules too, for example, weekly attendance at our meetings was considered to be just about essential. These days, the rules are very simple and straightforward. Here is an extract from the Membership section of our Club Consitution of 2019 (1):
Section 1 — General Qualifications.
This club shall be composed of adult persons who demonstrate good character, integrity, and leadership; possess a good reputation within their business, profession, and/or community; and are willing to serve in their community and/or around the world.
That should be simple enough. In other words, the majority of people in your circle of friends, in business, your suppliers, your customers qualify. Rotary is absolutely non-denominational, absolutely gender-neutral. All we ask for is of good character, has integrity, and a good reputation. Start making a list and invite them to come to one of our meetings.

Last week we received some wonderful feedback from the Rotary Club of Port Alfred, South Africa. This club has been in charge of distributing 20 of our "Rough Terrain" wheelchairs to worthy recipients. And they would have many more who are in need of them.A copy of their report, as well as some photo compilations, can be accessed from the Download Page on the right. How good is that!

What a superb morning last Saturday at our Project Shed, where we celebrated the 10,000th Wheelchair manufactured. For any of our readers who are not familiar with the concept: parts from recycled bicycles, marine plywood, solid rubber BMX wheels and... LOTS OF VOLUNTEER HOURS equal a wheelchair which can be manufactured for $100! Give yourself a pat on the back, but particular recognition must go to the principal movers and shakers who started and carried this project through: Des La Rance, Daryl Sanderson and the late Keith Lutz and Bob Harrison. Jan Lutz was there, but regrettably, Gloria Harrison was unable to join us, but for a good reason: her grandson debuted on that same day, playing Grade 1 Cricket in the Queensland Premier League. Howzat! Bob would be proud on both accounts. We had the bulk of our members and volunteers present from an early hour, setting up the various marquees, putting the last touch to the refurbished bikes we had for sale, setting up the stage, the videos... The Rotaractors from Burleigh Heads were there in force, the Rotary Club of Parkwood ran a sausage sizzle and the Rotary Club of Broadbeach ran a raffle, our soon to be inducted new corporate members Adam and Tash from Invincable had a stand and so did the Pimpama State School with their version of the wheelchair design. We were honoured by visits from District Governor Andy Rajapakse, State MPs Rob Molhoek and Sam O'Connor (he has done a nice write up on his Facebook page too) as well as Councillors Ryan Bayldon-Lumsden and Brooke Patterson.
President Charles Thomasson opened the formal part of the celebrations welcoming our dignitaries, which was followed by a brief address by DG Andy Rajapakse, in which he referred to his own efforts of taking well over 500 wheelchairs for distribution in his country of origin, Sri Lanka. Following our DG, the inventor of the wheelchairs from bicycles, Des La Rance, outlined the project from early times in the mid 1990's, the breakthrough when Ray Martin's A Current Affair broadcast the delivery of the first 10 wheelchairs to Fiji in 1997, the building of schools for the tsunami affected regions of Thailand and Samoa, the House of Hope in Apia, leading to the current project of the X-Ray Unit for Vanuatu.
But of course, the culmination of the morning was the presentation of a commemorative collage to Des La Rance (see picture). This was designed and made by Neil Thurlow and his graphic wizards of Accent Print and Copy.
Photo shows (from left) Jan La Rance, Daryl Sanderson, Des La Rance, Jan Lutz. More photos are in the Photo Album, videos coming up shortly.
Our super generous printer, Neil Thurlow and his very talented design artists at Accent Print & Copy have created a new flyer for our wheelchairs project. He has also provided some 2000 printed copies, which will be sent out by Apple Marketing to their mailing list of previous donors. It is uploaded to our Download Section (see right side), where you can download it and send it on to anyone whom you consider could be interested.
Thank you, Neil and your team!
I've uploaded a video which beautifully outlines what Rotary is all about. Go on, have a look at it. It's only a bit over 2 minutes, but very well done. Go to this link to view it:August is Membership Development and Extentions Month. Can you remember when you were inducted into Rotary? Have you considered why you were proposed by your sponsor? What made you to decide to join? Did you feel a sense of pride, of achievement, to be invited to join an organization of the highest international repute? Did you feel that your sponsor did “The right thing” by considering you to be potentially a good Rotarian ? Did you feel a little bit overwhelmed, sort of “am I really up to this?” You did?
“The more hands Rotary has, the better and more effectively the ideal of service will be achieved. Hence the importance of membership.” These words, spoken by one of Japans foremost Rotarians, Kanejiro Matsumoto put the point very straight. I put it even straighter: If we are to spread the workload of running this club, if we are to achieve our aims on the local scene (Youth Service, Vocational Service, Community Service), if we are to pull our weight on the International cart, we have an obligation to not only maintain, but increase membership. Whom have you asked lately to come along to one of our meetings?
