Rotary affirmation
 
Pres John Reported. Discussion tonight. 
 
Amendments to charitable trust.  Prefer it to stay as is, Fred asking RAWKS to act as charity status for our Clun. Sport is not a charitable purpose and so we must change the articles.  Long process to get charitable status for any fund raising. Consensus is to leave it as it is. Maybe start something else to get charitable status but it would cost 
 several thousand dollars in ongoing fees.  
 
Fred spoke regarding helping the community and in particular feeding  the  community. Discussion followed with Fred  saying he preferred a more hands on focus in the  community.  Pres John reminded us we do a lot  of good work with youth projects.
 
PDG Lloyd says the trust did  mainly Rotary projects and not necessarily community projects, as well as youth projects 
 
Theo commented a  charity entity would be a brand new entity and will probably take about two years, would be a  costly process.

NEW GENERATIONS REVIVES IN D9675
 
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.
