My name is Athreya Kannan and I work for Zip which is a credit company and we often get calls from customers who have been scammed online or over the phone. I, therefore, wrote this up to spread awareness of these scams so we can be more vigilant.
The promised easing of COVID restrictions and the reopening of schools is welcomed by District’s youth program committees. During 2021 many programs, such as RYPEN, RYLA and YEP had to be to be abandoned and others, such as MUNA, were poorly attended. School closures prevented our club maintaining contact with the local students and the teachers who support our youth programs. However, the future looks much brighter.
Rotary Youth Exchange - making a difference - Reflections from a Reunion 30 years later.
The Year is 1991, two busses full of Rotary Exchange Students enter a parking lot in Sydney after 3 weeks around Australia on the “Capricorn Ramble Tour”. Saying goodbye was heart-breaking, knowing that we would soon be back home and maybe never see each other again.
Jumping to September 2021, downtown Frankfurt on a Friday afternoon in brilliant weather. Stepping out of the car to greet 3 people I have not seen for 30 year in front of their hotel.
The Rotary Club of Burwood has created the 50th Anniversary Charitable Trust with the overall charitable purpose of "relieving poverty and the advancement of education or any other matter beneficial to the community". Funds are awarded to persons who satisfy the Trustees that they are financially disadvantaged and are undertaking some form of further study/sporting endeavour beneficial to themselves and to the community in general.
The Rotary Club of Burwood has now moved across to Rotary ClubRunner website hosting and administration platform. More than just a website, ClubRunner offers a robust membership management and communication platform
The Rotary Club of Burwood is looking into creating a Satellite Club in the Burwood local area, so as to meet the needs of those community minded individuals who can't attend face-to-face meetings on a regular basis, due to work or other commitments, however they won't to give back to the community.
