Welcome back Jodie. Jodie was inducted into our
club membership this morning.
. Great to have the old gang back together again!
The Rotary Club of Boulder would like to extend our
heart felt thanks
to Georges and Michelle from the Tower Hotel.
Thanks for
putting us up and putting up with us.
You have surely made the Tower feel like
home to us.
We will miss you and look forward to seeing you again.
The annual Swan Rotary Small Mob Shearing Day will
be held
Saturday 5th September 2020 at the Gidgegannup Showgrounds.
In addition to sheep, this year we will also be
offering shearing and treatment
for alpacas and ilamas
. Great value at just $10
for sheep,
$30 for Alpacas and $60 for ilamas.
So if you have one or just a few animals and find
it tricky to have a shearer
attend to your ‘small mob’ then bring them along.
Animals must be in good health.
Bookings are essential so please call Rachel on
0413 011 610
to get your nominated time slot.
We look forward to seeing you and your fleecy
friends!

It’s very difficult to wash your hands regularly
with soap
and running fresh water if you don’t have a tap.
Portable Tap, is tackling this problem in the
Pacific.
stumbled across an idea when he picked up a bottle
of warm water
from the boot of his car to wash his hands and
half the contents
ended up on the ground.
After much trial and error, Stuart developed a
system
called SPATAP Portable Tap,
which enables handwashing and personal
hygiene
with limited water supplies
, and yet is very portable and simple to
use.
A silicone fitting transforms any bottle or container
made of plastic,
glass or metal
into a flow-controllable tap that can dispense water
in three
different ways depending on the user’s needs.
The Hand Hygiene for Health handwashing project has
already proved
its worth in many underdeveloped schools in the South Pacific,
but the need is great and there are many more schools that need our help.
There
are requests from communities across
the Pacific to access this simple
technology,
especially now during the current COVID-19 crisis.
Within Australia, the system has huge potential to
address diseases
like trachoma and diarrhoea in remote communities,
where
access to taps and water is very limited.
