Presidents Report
Last week we had Ann Rocca to talk to us about Red Cross – Ann told
us about the many services that Red Cross (or Red Crescent) supplies all
over the world, then explained what Queanbeyan Red Cross does in
Queanbeyan. Next year Australian Red Cross celebrates its centenary
and Queanbeyan branch is also turning 100 in August 2014.
We also had a very welcome visit from some of the Interacters - Ty,
Laura, Shelbie and Hayley – and Ty proved that he isn’t defeated by a
pub meal!
AGM and Board meeting are scheduled for this week. See you there.

National Youth Science Forum Rotary Dinners and Home Hosting
Session A: Dinner Thursday 9 January 2013 – 6.00pm
Home Hosting – Sunday 12 Jan
Session C: Dinner Thursday 23 January 2013 – 6.00pm
Home Hosting - Sunday 26 Jan
Dinner venue: Ainslie Football Club, Wakefield Street, Ainslie
Cost: $40 NYSF Rotary Dinners Come for a good dinner, inspiring company, and fellowship. Come in support of a great youth program.
Your Club might like to substitute a weekly meeting with a Dinner, or come anyway to an enjoyable
activity. The Rotary Club of Ginnindera will be host.
Meet the students attending the NYSF. They come from all over, and are some of the best science students
in the country. Hear a prominent scientist who is invited to address the students. Arrive early to chat with
the students, then we’ll sit down with them to eat.
This year registration and payment have moved online, via the home page of the District web site. Just go
to http://www.rotaryd9710.org.au/ and follow the prompts. There will be no paying by cash on the
night.
Please register by Sunday 15 December 2013. Any cancellations, please advise the Chairman by the
Sunday before each Dinner.
NYSF Home Hosting
This is where there is a real need, and where we can make a real difference.
NYSF students are young and far away from home. They will be happy and excited - but very, very tired.
In the middle of each Session they will need a day to rest, do their washing, and recharge batteries before
facing a second intensive week. And for Rotarians, Home Hosting can be a wonderful experience.
The dates for home hosting are Sunday 12 January and Sunday 26 January – yes, share Australia Day with
them. The times: from 9:00am to 8:00pm. Please participate if you can, and take on 2, 3 or 4 students, for
each Session if possible.
Registration for home hosting is also online, via the home page of the District web site. Just go to
http://www.rotaryd9710.org.au/ and follow the prompts. Please register by Sunday 15 December
2013.
NB: Students will be allocated to hosts in advance, and Rotarians will know in advance who “their”
students are. Members will meet “their” pre-allocated students on the Dinner night (if they go to it) or meet
them on the Sunday morning. Unlike in previous years, no students will approach Rotarians on the Dinner
nights, asking to be taken home.
Even if you can’t come to a Dinner, please offer to home host - the students will benefit.
