Club Meeting Conochie Hall - Wednesday 15th May
 
We were treated to a special Rotary Youth Leaders Awards (RYLA) presentation at our Club meeting this week. Would you believe that Camberwell Rotary has been active in this space for over 40 years - sponsoring young 18- to 25-year-olds to learn about resilience, confidence, and leadership skills.
 
 
From left to right - President George de Souza, 2023 Rylarian Berat Kaya, Youth Chair Adrian Campbell, Youth Deputy Chair Michael Blood, 2023 Rylarian Georgia Luscombe, Past RLYA leader & Seeds of Peace Ambassador Rory Hughes, Michael Mullins and past Rylarian Ashley Siedlecki. 
 
It was special to have Michael Mullins back as one of the key Club contributors to RYLA over many years, and to also welcome Rory Hughes who was sponsored to RYLA by Camberwell some years back. He liked it so much he stayed on as a student leader and RYLA camp organiser.
 
Georgia and Berat shared their RYLA key learnings and the day activities at Camp Getaway near Bendigo. Camberwell sponsored 4 young leaders to attend the course in 2023.

Ashley Siedlecki shared his 10-year journey since graduating from RYLA - including an International Studies course at Monash Uni and an exchange programme to Africa.
 
More recently he presented his community work in Timor Leste - he is clearly an invested, enthusiastic, and capable young professional - whose skills will help the developing nation to our north.
 
Youth Chair Adrian Campbell finished the RYLA segment by giving a challenge to Club members to start thinking NOW about nominating young leaders in their community to take advantage of the wonderful leadership & experience RYLA offers young people.
 
Camberwell Rotary will continue to support this life changing youth initiative. The next intake will be in October 2024.
 
Let us continue to work together, to take action to create hope in the world and in our local communities.

Volunteers Needed: Camberwell Art Show 2024
image
 
Hi All,
 
Your help is needed!
 
Your help is needed as volunteers for this year's Camberwell Art Show!
 
This Invitation to volunteer is for Event 3 below “PAINTING HANDBACK TO BUMP OUT”.
 
BY NOW YOU WOULD HAVE RECEIVED AN INVITATION TO SIGN UP FOR EVENT NOS 1 AND 2 BELOW.  THIS EMAIL CALLS FOR VOLUNTEERS FOR EVENT 3
 
As stated in the previous email, this Year, we have divided the Sessions of the Camberwell Art Show into three sections.  They are:
1.Bump in and Set up to Gala Opening
2. Open to Public
3.Painting Handback to Bump Out
 
In time, each of you will receive an email for each of the three Events above.
 
This year, the Art Show Committee has changed the format for seeking your assistance throughout the show, with the roster and volunteering.
 
We will be using the same roster as last year, altered to accord with the corresponding sessions this year. That is, if you were on (for example) session 7 last year, you will be the corresponding session this year.
So, the times, the operation, the duties etc that you did last year will be identical this year.
 
This also applies to partners. We have rostered partners onto the same corresponding sessions as last year, as well. 
 
I would ask that you click on the link in your email which will take you to the “sign up list” that I have prepared already based on last year. 
 
If you and your partner are happy with the list that we have noted, you need do nothing more.
 
If you want to change or increase the number of sessions that you or your partner are noted on, click on the red cross adjacent to your name and that will delete you from that Session; or if you want to include your name into another Session, then click on “sign up” and include your (or your partners names).
 
Remember, it is expected that each of you will sign up to between 6-12 sessions for the whole show.
Also remember, that this is the first of three invitations that you will get, as noted above in Red, so don't look to fill up all of your sessions on this one event.
 
Also, there will be members/ partners receiving this email, who weren’t around last year and so who have not been rostered on.
 
I would ask that you (and if appropriate, your partner) click on the sign up link in your email and follow the instructions above.
 
Finally, I remind you that this is our big fund raising event for the year (along with the HMM and the Camberwell Market) and so the Committee asks that you keep that in mind when you are considering the sessions that we have booked you into.
 
On behalf of the Camberwell Art Show Committee I would like to thank you, again, for you contribution to the roster, and ask that if you have any queries on this matter that you contact me.

May 24 – Youth Service Month
 
May is Rotary International Youth Service Month, when the focus is on young people and the development of the next generation of leaders. Under the leadership of Youth Service Director Adrian Campbell, the Rotary Club of Camberwell has been highly active in supporting and nurturing youth, including offering two Year 11-12 scholarships at Camberwell High, securing a District Grant for a Year 11/12 student at Canterbury Girls Secondary College, and supporting the attendance of four Youth Leaders at RYLA.

August 24 – DONATIONS IN KIND OPEN DAY
 
All Rotarians are invited to attend the Open Day for Rotary Donations in Kind on Saturday 10th August 2024
 
Donations in Kind West Footscray, is a volunteer-based recycling facility and is part of Rotary’s Donations in Kind Network, a project of Rotary Australia World Community Service, (RAWCS.)  It is a specialist operation that focuses on recycling goods with 85% of the goods processed being redeployed and just 11% sent to process recycling. 
 
Donations In Kind processes goods donated by the corporate sector and distributes the goods through Rotary clubs to those in need wherever they are located, both locally and internationally.
 
We have also developed partnerships with several hospitals, aged care homes, schools and other suppliers who donate new and outdated stock to us.  Rotary clubs then use this stock to fulfill projects in developing countries.
 
We would be delighted to welcome you to the store, participate in a guided tour with one of our senior volunteers, and participate in the formal opening ceremony at 11am.
 
 
As we are planning for several forms of catering, we would like everyone to please register through the link below. There is no cost to attend.
