D9455

Call for Nominations for District Governor of District
9455 in 2013-14
This is an invitation to Clubs to nominate candidates to
be considered for the position of District Governor of
District 9455 in 2013-14.

Clubs are requested tocanvass members of their Clubs that meet the criteria
and nominate the best candidate for the position.

OurRotarians and the work they do deserve the best
available person to become our leader in 2013-14.
District 9455 uses the Nominating Committee process
for selecting individuals for Governor Nominee but the
points regarding lobbying are still applicable.

I am notaware of there having been concern about this in our
District but, as it has come from RI as reinforcement ofthe point,

I imagine someone somewhere in the world
has in recent times transgressed this long established rule.
Please note that the closing date for submission of
nominations is Tuesday 22nd February 2011.
Also please note that, subject to confirmation with the
other members of the Nominating Committee, I
propose to convene the Nominating Committee to
consider the applications received on 20th March 2011.
Potential candidates should plan to be available to meet
with the Nominating Committee on that day.
Any possible candidate or Club should feel free to call
me should they wish to discuss the requirements of the position.

Rotary Club of Pinjarra

Club of Rotarians

In the thriving town of Pinjarra, between Dwellingup and the Sea,
is a friendly Club of Rotarians, always welcoming to you and me.

Be sure that there’s always a friendly face waiting at the door,
age is respected in this town since eighteen thirty-four.

Like the mighty Jarrah all around that grows from the smallest shoots,
always remember from where you came, our strength lies in our roots.

Some say the word community, but you work for it every day,
the town is better for all you’ve done quite freely, expecting no pay.

The cities and the world of the rat race, that’s no way to live,
life’s not about what you can get, it’s about what you can give.

Yes, you’ve long since learned that, with work on the desk, and on land,
in every field of endeavour, a Rotarian can lend a hand.

You support and inspire young people, help them grow straight and tall,
but to see the example of lives well lived, is the best lesson of all.

Some there are who’ve now passed on, they’ve lived and played their parts,
but Goodwill and Friendship never die, they’re forever in our hearts.

Your hand of friendship reaches around the world, to nations small and great,
A force for good over miles and time, where understanding conquers hate.

Goodwill and Peace throughout the world is the vision more precious than wealth,
Your hearts are revealed to all in these words, “Service above Self”.

Time and time again you’re there, you’ve stood the Four Way Test,
and in this moment of fellowship, to you I say,
You’re all Simply the Best!

From,
Nigel Branch

NB: Nigel Branch retired from Pinjarra Senior High School at the end of 2010 after 25 Years.

Nigel prepared many students for the Rotary 4-Way Test over many years.

Nigel was our Head of English.

Interplast

Interplast was founded as a joint venture between

the Royal Australiaisan College of Surgeons and Australian Rotary Clubs.

Interplast Australia and New Zealand a company limited by guareentee

to provide surgical and allied health services in developing countries

in the Asia Pacific region by providing free medical treatment and training.
Each member of an Interplast program is fully qualified in their field of expertise

and VOLUNTEER their time to participate in an Interplast program.
Interplast volunteers provide free treatment to people living

with a disability from a congenital condition such as cleft lip and palate,

or an acquired condition such as burn scar contractures.

Treatment is targeted to the indigent population who would

otherwise not be able to afford to access services.
Interplast assists with developing local capacity to provide surgery

and ancillary services by providing training and mentoring programs

for medical and allied health professionals.

All Interplast programs are training programs

— leaving a legacy long after the team has gone.

Or in more Detail:
Interplast Australia & New Zealand sends teams of volunteer surgeons,

anaesthetists, nurses and allied therapists to developing countries

in the Asia Pacific Region to provide free treatment and medical training.

Treatment
Interplast volunteers provide free treatment to people living with a disability

from a congenital condition such as cleft lip and cleft palate

or acquired conditions such as burns scar contractures.

Treatment is targeted to indigent populations who would otherwise

not be able to afford to access services.

People living with a disability are among the most disadvantaged in the world.

Many suffer from treatable deformities and injuries but are unable

to access treatment due to poverty, isolation

and the lack of surgeons skilled in plastic and reconstructive surgery.

70% of the patients of Interplast are under 15 years of age.

Often these children are ostracised from their society

simply because they look different, or cannot perform simple tasks for themselves.

They often do not go to school because they are teased by their peers.

They potentially live a life without friends or an education

and often are a continual burden on their family.

A simple operation will repair their condition,

and give them the confidence to attend school, restore functionality,

and grow up to contribute economically to their family

and ultimately the community in which they live.

Development & Capacity Building
Interplast is invited over, and works with, the countries Ministry of Health

and collaborates with local partners to facilitate training to improve

the access to health services for the indigent population specifically

in the area of plastic and reconstructive surgery

and the supporting anaesthetic and nursing services.

Improved health and health service delivery are priorities for all countries

visited by Interplast.

Whilst most aid is directed towards primary health issues,

the interdependence of all areas of the health system must not be overlooked.

A health system must have a full range of trainee personnel to be effective.

Training and capacity development activities are therefore

given high priority by Interplast.

Access to education, professional development, new technologies

and mentoring are important to alleviate professional isolation,

attract human resources, encourage commitment and cultivate expertise.

Interplast is helping to build capacity in the health sector

and address skill shortages by working closely

with the government health departments, institutions, counterparts

and partners to deliver mentoring and training to doctors, nurses

and allied health staff and by providing support to local institutions

to strengthen their training programs.

Where appropriate training attachments to Australian institutions

are facilitated to complement and enhance training delivered in country

and importantly to foster the developing of further leaders

a key determinant in the success of longer term strengthening of the health sector.

Read all about the sustainable differences made in peoples lives,

and the incredible achievements of our amazing Interplast volunteers

"Quote of the Week"

A fourth-grade teacher was giving her pupils a lesson in logic.

"Here is the situation," she said.

"A man is standing up in a boat in the middle of a river, fishing.

He loses his balance, falls in and begins splashing and yelling for help.

His wife hears the commotion, knows he can't swim,

and runs down to the bank.

Why do you think she ran to the bank?"

A girl raised her hand and asked,

"To draw out all his savings!"

Once upon a time, in a far-off land, there was a kingdom

in which the king was fond of history and ancient things.

He would collect historical objects,

dress in royal threads from bygone eras,

and generally try to live ancient traditions.

One day the king issued a royal proclamation,

as kings are wont to do now and then.

Of course, he wrote the proclamation in the language of two hundred years ago,

rich in antiquated spellings, obsolete words, now-defunct verb forms, etc.

The general population, of course,

could make neither head nor tail of the proclamation.

A vast legal muddle ensued.

The courts, called upon to untangle the mess,

pronounced a ruling that, henceforth,

all royal proclamations must be written in modern, currently accepted prose.

In other words,

"We can't have archaic and edict, too." --
