Rotary’s
new visual identity has everyone talking.
Some Rotarians like it and are
already using it,
as you can see in the examples below
. Others aren’t so sure.
Even RI President Ron Burton admits
to being skeptical during the early stages
of the Strengthening Rotary initiative.
But after asking many tough questions,
he’s become a believer.
“At
the end of the day, we’re going to be way ahead on our public image
and what
people think and know about Rotary,” says Burton.
As you
begin incorporating the new guidelines into your communications,
keep the
following in mind:
·
Clubs do not need to discard any unused
materials.
We encourage you to follow the new guidelines on
materials you create in the future.
·
Clubs can use the free fonts recommended in
the guidelines
as an alternative to the two recommended fonts
that require licensing fees. It’s your choice.
·
Your Rotary pin will not change.
It
remains the blue-and-gold metal logo that identifies Rotarians worldwide.
·
The Strengthening Rotary initiative extends
far beyond our visual identity.
It offers a new way to
tell our Rotary story.
Updated
guidelines highlighting the flexibility of the voice
and visual identity recommendations
will be available in the coming weeks
with more tools and templates to follow.
“You’ve
got to capture their eye,” says Burton of the new look.
“If you capture their
eye, you can capture their heart.”

Community Sleep-out
The Rotaract Club of the City of Gosnells
welcomes you to their already hugely popular Community Sleep-out.
The Community
Sleep-out is a fun filled night of guest speakers,
social awareness and
discussion of the escalating amount
of problems afflicting homeless people in
and around Perth
. The night is to be held on the 2nd of November
(until the 3rd of November) with an entry/donation cost of $10pp.
There will be a food stall available on the night
for patrons to purchase
dinner and snacks
ran by the Rotary Club of Gosnells
Scavengers for a Cause held by the Rotaract
Club of the City of Gosnells
on the 29th of September saw nine teams
compete
for the glory of victory on the South Perth foreshore.
Of the nine
teams competing all teams completed at least 24 of the potential 30 tasks
with
only one team managing to complete all 30.
Unfortunately for that team the
final task that they had to complete
in order to achieve their momentous
victory was to retrieve
a deceased blowfish from the briny shores of our fair
city.
Tasks included getting photos with boab trees at Kings Park,
reenacting
scenes from the Notebook
and even the occasional high five with a police
officer (bonus points if there were two…)
. Fun was had by all and all proceeds
were awarded
to the purchase of birthing kits for distribution in third world
countries,
over 100 kits were covered by the proceeds raised from the event.
Thank you very much all whom attended
and for those of you whom did not make it
we look forward to seeing you next year for the next hunt.

Louis
Armstrong and Danny Kaye perform
“When The Saints Go Marching In”
in this
entertaining clip from the 1959 film
“The Five Pennies”.
A caveman named Ted left his wife and children in their cave
and went on
the day’s hunt with Ned.
They hadn’t gotten ten steps when a giant boulder came
crashing down,
sealing the entrance, trapping his family.
He was in a near
state of panic,
but Ned, the analytical of the two,
proposed to find a long
branch or stout log to pry the rock away,
using the branch as a lever.
After
many attempts, many broken branches,
Ted was in a state of near panic.
Along
comes Nate, the stoutest and strongest of the caveman tribe.
After explaining
the dilemma to Nate,
Ned and Ted stepped away while Nate pushed the boulder
away with brute force.
Astonished, relieved, and filled with gratitude,
Ted
proclaimed to Ned,
“Better Nate than Lever!!!!!”
