This week we welcomed 15 members and 1 guest, Jonathan Evans, who is becoming a member soon.
Rotary Moment:
Frances Kolotyluk told us about project Vision, to celebrate 100 years of Rotary in Australia and New Zealand, Rotary teamed up with UNICEF to give life-saving vaccines to 100,000 children across the Pacific.
The project goal is to immunise 100,000 of the most disadvantaged children across the Pacific by 2021 in nine Pacific Island nations.
Despite improvements in immunisation rates across the Pacific, there remains much to be done to ensure all children receive routine immunisation and health care. in some countries, shockingly 1 in 17 children die before their fifth birthday.
