SUCCESSFUL ROTARY YEAR WINDING UP

Cambridge Rotary members were in high spirits at the District Conference held in Hastings recently and were delighted to have won the Best Club Fancy Dress award with the theme “Mid Life Crisis – Call the Midwife”.  This certainly was rewarding as a busy year of fundraising, service and fellowship draws to a close.
 
There have been many successes with the club achieving great outcomes with its service projects and fundraising events. Funds raised from Bookarama and the Charity Dinner exceeded previous occasions and members have delivered more service projects adding the area of community medicine by offering blood pressure checks and volunteering at the Blood Service collections. The Adventure Club is proving very successful; the e-waste recycling project “Urban Miners” recognised at the Waipa Business Awards is proving a popular and welcome community service.

At a well attended club changeover at the Don Rowlands Event Centre, outgoing president Robyn Crickett handed the presidential chain to Bev Maul- Rogers. Despite the club's activities and fundraising being severely curtailed by COVID, Robyn outlined and extensive list of the club's achievements for the year. She also took the opportunity to present past president Andrew Bateman a Paul Harris Award for his ongoing service to the club and the community. Robyn thanked the club members and her board for their efforts and support throughout the year.
 
Incoming president Bev Maul- Rogers outlined some of her experience in rotary, including Rotary Youth Exchange and the year when husband Keith was District Governor in 2007-8. Bev spoke of some of the challenges ahead for the coming year and wanting to make the rotary brand to be more visible and raising Rotary's public image. She asked all to come along for the journey – be engaged, energised and – enjoy. Before closing Bev introduced the Directors and officers for the 2020-2021 year.
 
Incoming District Governor Grant Spackman spoke of his background and gave a brief outline of this year's programme which he intends to expand on during his many club visits. After dinner, the club's resident band, The Bruised Brothers, played with their usual enthusiasm and gusto as the dance floor filled up.

Cambridge Rotary Charitable Trust – Grants 2020

Regretably, the Cambridge Rotary Charitable Trust will not be calling for grant applications this financial year.
 
Because of the current covid-19 situation and lockdown in NZ, Rotary Cambridge have not be able to run two of our major fund-raising projects. Consequently, the funds normally raised from these projects are not available for distribution to the Cambridge Community.
This year, to date, we have distributed approximately $30,000 to Cambridge Lifeskills and Rural Support, the two main beneficiaries from the Rotary Cambridge Garden Festival held in November 2019, to various Youth Projects and further funding is committed to Achievement House.
 
The Rotary Club of Cambridge Board are very sorry that, at this time, when we know many people are or will be in need, we are not able to help financially.
 
Stay safe, Stay well.

Rotary Fellowships

Posted on Jan 31, 2016
FORM A ROTARY FELLOWSHIP
Rotary Fellowships are independent groups of Rotarians, family members, program participants and alumni who share a common passion. Being part of a fellowship is a fun way to make friends from around the world.
 
WHAT FELLOWSHIPS ARE AVAILABLE?
Fellowship activities vary widely. Members come together around hobbies or interests such as cricket or jazz, or vocations such as writing or medicine. Some groups are purely social while others use their fellowship for service projects. View a list of Rotary Fellowships.
 
HOW DO I JOIN A FELLOWSHIP?
You can also contact a fellowship directly by using the information listed in the Rotary Fellowships directory. Or search our discussion groups to find Rotary and Rotaract members with similar interests.
 
HOW DO I START A FELLOWSHIP?
Chances are if you have a strong interest in something, there are others in the Rotary family who share it. Forming a fellowship starts with finding members for your group. Here’s how you can start:
  • Join a discussion group or start a new one. It's a great way to share your interest with other members.
  • Use Rotary’s presence on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn to promote your idea.
  • Ask your district Rotary Fellowships chair for assistance. Reach out to district Rotary Fellowships chairs in other countries to build membership. Ask for contact information at rotaryfellowships@rotary.org.
Be sure you meet the criteria for a fellowship and apply for official recognition. See the Rotary Fellowships Handbook for details.
 
Interested in a particular subject? Visit the group's website or email them to learn more.
