Rotary Club of Northbridge kicks a goal towards the Vanuatu School

Posted by Franz Huber on Sep 17, 2016

Chantal Clarke informs us that the Rotary Club of Northbridge, District 9685 (Sydney) has kicked the first goal towards our Vanuatu School, following the first (personal donation) Behind by Arthur Morehouse from Nowra Rotary Club. (Sorry, this is the season of AFL finals...) Their International Director, Elizabeth Gray, advised that her club has donated a total of $2,200 towards Chantal's projects in Vanuatu, of which $1,235.00 was allocated to the Dequeros Primary School project (RAWCS project 2016-16/70) school at Mantanas on Espirito Santos island.

Thank you, Northbridge Rotary! Quoting Clem Renouf: “Rotary takes ordinary men and gives them extraordinary opportunities to do more with their lives than they ever dreamed possible.” Clem's remarks were made in his year as Rotary International President 1978-79, when it was a male-only organization. These days, read the names of the people behind it: Elizabeth, Chantal... do we need any more proof that women are well and truly included in his view?
