President's Message
Posted by Teresa Liu
World Polio Day 2022 and Beyond: Monday, 24 October is World Polio Day. This year the WHO and RI co-hosted the conference of World Polio Day 2022 and Beyond, which was held on 21-22 October in Geneva. WHO director-general, Dr Tedro Adhanom Ghebreyesus, and RI President for 2022-23, Jennifer Jones, discussed the work the two organizations have done together for decades to eradicate Polio, and how both organisations will continue to work on a healthier future for mothers and children. 
 
Focusing on the “Beyond” aims to highlight the added value of building on the investments already made in polio eradication.

Elle Giles - Australian Red Cross Lifeblood
Posted by Carol Benson
Our speaker on Tuesday, Elle Giles, gave us an update on the Red Cross Blood Bank which is now known as the Red Cross Blood Service.  The name was changed a couple of years ago to better reflect the range of services now provided Australia wide. As well as blood donations the service also includes the Organ and Tissue Registry, Bone Marrow registry, breast milk for premature babies, research and innovation.
 
The Service needs 33,000 blood donations per week comprising 19,000 plasma donations, 500 platelet donations and 13,500 blood donations.
Donors - Rod Smith, David Fallick,

Don't Forget to Lodge your Farmers Market Roster Preferences Before October 31st
If you haven't done so already, don't forget to lodge your preferences for the Farmers Market Roster in 2023 via the online form no later than October 31st. Roster placements will be allocated centrally and the roster for next year distributed to all members by the end of November.
Members are asked to fulfill at least four market shifts in 2023 but are requested to nominate at least eight market shifts as preferred shifts. This will make it more likely that the rosterer will be able to assign you a preferred shift. Members may nominate more than eight potential shifts, but only four will be allocated unless the member indicates willingness to do more.
 
If you do have preferences, please submit them asap as shifts will be assigned to members in the order in which their preference nomination forms are submitted.
 
If you do not have any preference for the shifts that are assigned to you, there is no need to take any action. Your shifts will be assigned centrally by the rosterer with sincere thanks for your flexibility.
RORP - Playgrounds Going to India - Packing 26/11
Posted by Mark Howlett
Although we have not had much playground removal activity in the past couple months, Rotary Overseas Recycled Playgrounds (RORP) will continue to be an active opportunity for club members. The next scheduled activity is the packing of removed playgrounds into a container ready for shipping to Chennai India. This activity is scheduled for Nov 26 and volunteers will be invited closer to the time but keep it in mind if you can.
 
In general, RORP is not a program which draws on club funds, but rather provides opportunities for members to help in a fun, friendly and active way. With recent shipping price rises however, all participating clubs were asked to contribute $500, which Glenferrie was happy to do with the certificate attached.

Posted by Mark Ellis AM
"Let’s shake off the Covid Nightmare!
 
On December 13th Tuesday night there is to be a combined RC Hawthorn/Glenferrie Gala Christmas Dinner.
Calling all who wish to participate in a Christmas Choral group to sing on the night.
Covid ruined our plans for a couple of years, but a group did form and performed on the nights.
This year we have opera singers involved, but really there is talent hidden within our clubs.
Please let Mark Ellis know if interested.  mark.ellis744@bigpond.com
 
A practice night closer to the event will be published.
