Long-time club member Ron Lawrence co-ordinated the renovation of the kitchen at Ascot House as featured in this article - only problem was the newspaper swapped the day the photo was due to be taken so, we've snapped Ron doing his part ourselves!

Thank you to all who attended the National Geographic Live Curious Quiz Night.
We raised $616 all going to Rotary International's END POLIO NOW campaign.

Actually Rotaract club of Dili organized one leadership training about the transformational leadership that providing by LUCCA organization to timorese young people, on 18-20  December 2010 and we got 36 participants, some of them are from senior high school and some are university students. apart from that we also keep going english teaching for two primary schools in Dili and include one orphanage kids in Dili as well not only that but we also would like to do more any activities such as plant tree in Cristo rei(DILI) and also provide some seminar about the importance of the environment to the community. therefore now we are working very hard to find some budget from all international agencies and minister of agriculture in east Timor in order we can execute this program successfully. the objective of this program is we would like to raise up people's awareness about the importance of tree in the environment so that people can have a sense about the environment itself because nowadays we live in a era of climate change.

Diane,

Thank you very much for welcoming me to your club last night. It was good to have a chat beforehand and I now know a lot more about your club than I did before.

I was most impressed with your club’s commitment to serving your local community and wish you well for your year in office. You obviously have a relatively small but enthusiastic band of members and I commend your objective to expand your membership during your year. It was good to see three prospective new members at the meeting last night and hope you succeed in convincing them to become members. Remember my offer to fund one Weekend Daytime pass at the Conference for a prospective new member.

I thank your Club  for supporting  Polio Plus and Australian Rotary Health and hope that, after our discussion,  your club can afford to support the Rotary Foundation Annual Programmes Fund  which supports so many good things. These are all very worthwhile causes and a key component of our District Goals this year.

Finally, it is good to hear about the number of your members going to the Conference. I hope I convinced others to join in on the fun.

Remember that both Terry and I are available to help you in future if required.

Best wishes

Yours in Rotary Service
