Multi-District Public Relations Seminar
Sunday 17 October 2010

Mt Lawley Senior High School

in Woodsome Street, Mt Lawley.

Registration is at 8.30 am, with a 9.00 am start,

and the seminar ends at 1.00 pm to make it more accessible

for Rotarians from regional areas.

See you there !

MEDIA – UNMIXING OUR MESSAGE !

Whenever we get a group of Rotarians talking about public relations,

someone will complain that one of the biggest problems

is the refusal of the media to report on Rotary’s good works.
Certainly that is how it seems from our side of the fence ...

it is often difficult to get our message across.

However, we may be able to do much better if we could

understand how the media operates.
That’s the underlying theme of a special multi-district seminar,

Promotion and Marketing of Rotary,

being held in Perth on Sunday, 17 October.

This seminar, coordinated by the District 9455 and 9465

public relations committees will take a fresh look

at how the media can be used to inform the public –

and prospective new members.

A keynote speaker and people who work in media will make presentations.

The central feature of the seminar will be an interactive workshop

moderated by professional journalists that will demonstrate

to Rotarians how and why the media makes its decisions

on what is and what is not news.

Understanding how the media operates is the key

to getting our news in print or on the air.
Rotary Down Under, our own magazine, will be there too,

and there will be presentations on advertising, merchandise

and promotional aids as well as club public relations success stories.
Don’t be put off by the public relations tag –

it’s just what Rotary calls it.

This seminar is not just for PR officers,

but all Club officers and members who are keen to develop

and enhance the Promotion and Marketing of Rotary.
After all, every Rotarian is responsible for Rotary’s public relations.
Further details on directions,

parking etc will be sent directly to all Clubs.

Please respond to:--
· your District PR Chair 9455 PDG Ian Murray iwmurray@primus.com.au
9465 PP John Feary pr@rotary9465.org.au
· or your Assistant Governor
Please let us know if you will be coming

Donation increases health-giving milk for premature babies
Premature babies at King Edward Memorial Hospital (KEMH)

will soon benefit from an increased supply of donor human milk

following a $35,000 donation to the Hospital’s

Perron Rotary Express Milk Bank.

The Rotary Club of Ascot,

in conjunction with the Rotary Club of Panaji Mid-Town in India,

Rotary International through The Rotary Foundation and BHP Billiton Iron Ore,

have generously donated the funds that will be used to purchase

three important pieces of equipment to significantly improve efficiency

and productivity in the Milk Bank.

Manager of the PREM Bank,

Dr Ben Hartmann said the money will be used to buy a new orbital incubator,

freezer and donor milk tracking software.

“The purchase of the orbital incubator will double the Milk Bank’s capacity

to rapidly and safely thaw donations prior to processing

and the freezer will ease the burden of storage

of large volumes of donor milk,” he said.

“The tracking software program will increase the productivity

of the PREM Bank and allow us to transfer our current paper-based donor

records to a much more efficient computer database”.

Past president and current member of the Rotary Club of Ascot,

Mike Bermann said the club was moved to help fundraise

after hearing of the important work being done at the Milk Bank.

“We were extremely impressed by the PREM Bank

and the vital role it is playing in the treatment

of WA’s smallest and sickest babies,” he said.
“We really wanted to help out in any way we could

and so were delighted to have the opportunity

to join with the Rotary Club of Panaji Mid-Town in India

and BHP Billiton Iron Ore to raise these funds for equipment

that will help see the Milk Bank continue to grow.”

BHP Billiton Iron Ore President,

Mr Ian Ashby explained that the Rotary Club of Ascot

had applied under the company’s

Community Development Grant scheme.

“Our Community Development Grant scheme is an effective way

for programs like this to seek funding.

The donation to KEMH is one example of BHP Billiton Iron Ore

working with the community to fund initiatives that are of great need

and can make a big difference,” he said.

Photo opportunity at KEMH, Thursday at 11.00am:

Rotary Club of Cockburn

Noelene and Ray Barrett

Last weekend Cockburn Rotarian Ray Barrett and his wife Noelene

a keen supporter of The Prostate Cancer Foundation,

Held a sausage sizzle in their front yard.
The response they received from the local community was overwhelming,

with donations of prizes for raffles from many of the business's in the area.
By Midday their Spearwood front yard looked like a fair ground

with parking in the street almost impossible.
The hard work they put in paid off and at the days end

they had raised $4688.90 for The Prostate Cancer Foundation.
Cockburn Rotary also donated $500

and many members found the day a great opportunity for fellowship.
A fantastic effort by a fantastic couple.

thanks to President Larry Wale

Quote of the week

from the Rotary Club of Pinjarra newsletter




A mechanic who worked out of his home had a dog named Mace.

Mace had a bad habit of eating all the grass on the mechanic's lawn,

so the mechanic had to keep Mace inside.
The grass eventually became overgrown.

One day the mechanic was working on a car in the backyard

and dropped his wrench, losing it in the tall grass.
He couldn't find it for the life of him,

so he decided to call it a day.
That night, Mace escaped from the house

and ate all the grass in the backyard.

The next morning the mechanic went outside

and saw his wrench glinting in the sunlight.
Realizing what had happened he looked toward the heavens and proclaimed,
"A grazing Mace, how sweet the hound, that saved a wrench for me!"
