 PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

 Hello Everyone,

 Last Monday night we were treated to an excellent presentation by Claire Thompson
 and Mark Wallace, who provided great insight into the GSE Team visit to England,
 back in April. It was interesting to hear about all the fantastic vocational visits that
 the Team were offered, together with great feedback on the warmth and kindness of the
 Rotary families who hosted the Team during their trip. It sounds as if the
 organisation in the UK was excellent, with the trip providing the Team with a truly
 memorable experience. It is encouraging to recognise our Club’s role in assisting to
 make this possible for Claire, through our sponsorship. Claire has made it very clear
 that she hopes to maintain a long term relationship with the Club Members of The Hills
 Kellyville, and that she will provide ongoing support to the Club through her media
 links.

 Next Monday we have the opportunity to learn more about social networking from
 Haran, who has become quite an expert in the area. Haran, as many of you are aware
 is now involved in producing the District newsletter, which in turn is providing us with
 some excellent information in our own Weekly Bulletin. It will be an interesting eveni ng
 with a focus on how we can publicise information about our Club on the Internet.

 Looking forward to seeing you all there.

 Warm regards,

 President Bobby Redman

                              The Rotary Foundation Future Vision Pilot is a three-year test of
 the new grant structure offered in the Foundation's Future Vision Plan. One hundred
 districts are participating in the pilot. Pilot districts will have a unique opportunity to help
 refine the new grant structure by providing input and receiving specialized Foundation
 support and service.

 Grant structure

 Pilot districts will work with Rotary Foundation District Grants and Rotary Foundation Global

 Designated Fund (DDF). District grants offer the flexibility to respond quickly to immediate
 needs or to plan projects with clubs locally or in other countries.

 the six areas of focus that correspond to the Foundation's mission.

                                          Through the Avenue of Vocational Service, Rotarians
                                          contribute their professional expertise and skills to address
                                          societal problems and needs, promote high ethical standards
                                          in the workplace, support career planning and other
                                          vocational activities, and represent the dignity and value of
                                          their profession. Rotary Images/Alyce Henson

 Vocational Service Month promotes business integrity, professional development

 Carlos Früm, governor of District 6440 (Illinois, USA) and a member of the Rotary Club of
 Northbrook, teaches business principles and entrepreneurship to Maya high school students
 as part of his district’s ongoing service project in Guatemala.

 "Vocational service gives Rotarians the opportunity to help others escape poverty and gain
 a measure of self-respect," Früm says. "As business and professional leaders, we have a
 duty to lead and encourage good ethics through vocation."

 Through vocational service, Rotarians contribute their professional expertise and skills to
 address societal problems and needs, and to promote high ethical standards in the
 workplace.

 "Rotary's focus on ethical practices as part of vocational service has been a central part of
 my success in my business, professional, civic, and personal life since I became a Rotarian,"
 says Paul A. Netzel, vice chair of the Vocational Service Promotion Committee and past RI
 director.

 Rotarians have two benchmarks for promoting professional integrity: The Four-Way Test
 and the Declaration of Rotarians in Businesses and Professions.

 "Rotary's Four-Way Test has served as an easy template for me in weighing the pros and
 cons of countless issues and decisions I've had to address over my career," Netzel says. "It
 has helped make me a better Rotarian."

 Netzel says vocational service sets Rotary apart from other service and humanitarian
 organizations.

 Rotarians can support vocational service by

         Strengthening the emphasis on professional diversity in member recruitment
         Identifying ways to emphasize professions in club activities
         Placing a stronger emphasis on business networking with integrity at the club and
          district level -- which also is a means of attracting and mentoring the next
          generation
         Emphasizing the connection between The Four-Way Test and the Declaration of
          Rotarians in Businesses and Professions, and their importance to the values of
          Rotary

  • 2. Page 2 PRESIDENTS MESSAGE Hello Everyone, Last Monday night we were treated to an excellent presentation by Claire Thompson and Mark Wallace, who provided great insight into the GSE Team visit to England, back in April. It was interesting to hear about all the fantastic vocational visits that the Team were offered, together with great feedback on the warmth and kindness of the Rotary families who hosted the Team during their trip. It sounds as if the organisation in the UK was excellent, with the trip providing the Team with a truly memorable experience. It is encouraging to recognise our Club’s role in assisting to make this possible for Claire, through our sponsorship. Claire has made it very clear that she hopes to maintain a long term relationship with the Club Members of The Hills Kellyville, and that she will provide ongoing support to the Club through her media links. Next Monday we have the opportunity to learn more about social networking from Haran, who has become quite an expert in the area. Haran, as many of you are aware is now involved in producing the District newsletter, which in turn is providing us with some excellent information in our own Weekly Bulletin. It will be an interesting eveni ng with a focus on how we can publicise information about our Club on the Internet. Looking forward to seeing you all there. Warm regards, President Bobby Redman From Last Meeting The Rotary Club of the Hills-Kellyville meets Monday Night at the Castle Hill Tavern 6.15pm for 6.45pm start.

Page 5 Vocational Service Corner – PP Haran Ramachandran Through the Avenue of Vocational Service, Rotarians contribute their professional expertise and skills to address societal problems and needs, promote high ethical standards in the workplace, support career planning and other vocational activities, and represent the dignity and value of their profession. Rotary Images/Alyce Henson Vocational Service Month promotes business integrity, professional development Carlos Früm, governor of District 6440 (Illinois, USA) and a member of the Rotary Club of Northbrook, teaches business principles and entrepreneurship to Maya high school students as part of his district’s ongoing service project in Guatemala. "Vocational service gives Rotarians the opportunity to help others escape poverty and gain a measure of self-respect," Früm says. "As business and professional leaders, we have a duty to lead and encourage good ethics through vocation." Through vocational service, Rotarians contribute their professional expertise and skills to address societal problems and needs, and to promote high ethical standards in the workplace. "Rotary's focus on ethical practices as part of vocational service has been a central part of my success in my business, professional, civic, and personal life since I became a Rotarian," says Paul A. Netzel, vice chair of the Vocational Service Promotion Committee and past RI director. Rotarians have two benchmarks for promoting professional integrity: The Four-Way Test and the Declaration of Rotarians in Businesses and Professions. "Rotary's Four-Way Test has served as an easy template for me in weighing the pros and cons of countless issues and decisions I've had to address over my career," Netzel says. "It has helped make me a better Rotarian." Netzel says vocational service sets Rotary apart from other service and humanitarian organizations. Rotarians can support vocational service by  Strengthening the emphasis on professional diversity in member recruitment  Identifying ways to emphasize professions in club activities  Placing a stronger emphasis on business networking with integrity at the club and district level -- which also is a means of attracting and mentoring the next generation  Emphasizing the connection between The Four-Way Test and the Declaration of Rotarians in Businesses and Professions, and their importance to the values of Rotary The Rotary Club of the Hills-Kellyville meets Monday Night at the Castle Hill Tavern 6.15pm for 6.45pm start.
