President Barry opened the meeting with 23 others attending, including Rotarians Roger Painter from Canada, DGE Michael Moore from District 9705 (Southern NSW and the ACT), and PDGs Melodie and John Kevan, as well as Kevin Samsone from Toastmasters International.
 
UPDATES
Helen Jones is still in the Mount Hospital.
Our Exchange Student in Germany, Connor Ovens, reports he briefly thought he’d like to go home, but has changed his mind.  His next host family is not confirmed as they were due to lose their daughter on exchange to Canada but that’s not happening any more.
Both Melville Cares and Foodbank WA have expressed their sincere thanks for the financial support they are receiving from Applecross Rotary.
President Elect Ray Philp asks all of us to keep collecting non-perishable food for Foodbank as well as plastic and glass bottles for Greenbatch.
 
HAPPY DOLLARS
Jamie Kelly reports that Lee got a staph infection in one of her toes, which required amputation to ensure the infection didn’t spread.  She is now on the mend at home.
Peter McEwen advised that Brendan Pang has avoided elimination again in Master Chef, and Roger Painter advised that the Spring is Sprung, the Grass is Ris, on Vancouver Island, finally!
AMR SAVES LIVES, A MILLION AT A TIME
says DGE Michael Moore, AM, PhD
 
Michael is the incoming District Governor of two current Rotary Districts that will merge on 1 July 2020.  He is also the CEO of the Public Health Association, and was for a time the Minister for Health in the ACT Government, a rare situation for an Independent member of the Legislative Assembly in Canberra.
 
Drawing on the RI themes for this year and next year, DGE Michael said that as the latter half of this Rotary year progressed it was clear that COVID-19 had been an extraordinary catalyst for connecting the world (this year’s theme), and this has opened many opportunities (next year’s theme) for Clubs to innovate, such as meeting via Zoom.

7 reasons young people should join Rotary
By Ryan Bell, Iowa City District 6000 Public Image Co-Chair
 
I have a message for all you young people out there who may never have heard about Rotary. Or if you have, it was from a parent or grandparent who spent more time talking about the lunch menu or how great the salad bar is. If that’s all you’ve heard about Rotary, then you’re missing a lot. And let me tell you why, in the middle of this pandemic, Rotary is more relevant than ever. It’s definitely something you want to know about.
