Calling all Mates!
Are you planning on attending the Mates helping mates disaster relief benefit lunch on Sunday 13 March?
We need you to secure your seat! Give Lizottes a call on 99849933 so they can secure your table. Many people have said they will attend but our number of secured seats is disappointing. Without secured numbers the event is at risk of not going ahead. So please help us make this a reality. Our mates need us!
Our disaster affected mates need us now, more than ever! Rebuilding life after disaster is now a reality. They have no adrenalin to keep them going and with a series of natural disasters around the pacific the focus of assistance has shifted. Our mates are struggling to move forward.
The Mates event has been proudly put together by our local community and the performers have all donated their time. Your ticket price $58 includes your main meal and 6 awesome entertainers. It will be an great afternoon for a great cause. Help us make it a success.
To book your table call Lizottes on 99849933

for the "Cost of a Case"
Read the full article in The Manly Daily
The Rotary clubs of Brookvale and Dee Why-Warringah have joined forces for the “Cost of a Case” campaign to raise money for those who have been affected by the floods.
As part of the fundraiser, revellers are encouraged to cut down on alcohol over the Australia Day holiday and donate what they
would usually spend on a case of beer.
Dee Why-Warringah president Christine McCormack said all donations made to Rotary would go directly to the flood victims and would not be tied up in administration.
“A member of the community came to us about it,” she said of the campaign. “I think we will get quite a few people to take part because Australia Day isn’t on a weekend this year.”

For the cost of a case
Lyndal says "My local bottle shop sells a case of XXXX for $48.00. How about instead of buying a case for ourselves this Australia Day, we give that money to the Flood Appeal?
Lets try for 1000 pledges. Invite everyone you know
Donate securely online.
Or make your donation on Australia Day. Look for the Rotary Dee Why Warringah Flood Relief Team at the Strand at Dee Why Beach on Australia Day.

A children's hospital for Sierra Leone
Dr. Nuli Lemoh and P.P. Laurie Facer from the Turramurra Rotary Club told us about their exciting and ambitious plan to build a Children's Hospital in the town of Bo, Sierra Leone.There is currently only one children's hospital in a country of 5.5 million people and the planned facility would focus on health promotion and help prevent many unnecessary deaths.
The infant mortality rate is horrendous. One in six babies dying at birth. The common causes of death in infancy and early childhood are malnutrition, diarrhoea, malaria and respiratory diseases. These are all preventable illnesses. A hospital that focused on health promotion would greatly reduce illness through preventive treatment.
Nuli and Laurie presented a lively and informative talk, introduced by bongo drum playing from Nuli, who also gave us an insight into his remarkable career as a paediatrician. We wish Turramurra Club every success in this worthwhile project.

100 Shelter Boxes
Last year Roy Sheargold was ‘decorated’ with an addition to his existing Paul Harris award.
Thousands of bed nets to prevent malaria were sent through Roy’s efforts. He received “more than a little help” from club members and his Rotary contacts in Canada. Click the video clip below to see immediate past president Werner Beeh presenting Roy with the award, then Lionel Arnold in the comfort of his home talks about this tremendous project.
Not one to rest on his laurels, Roy this year has obtained the services of General Peter Cosgrove to spearhead a fundraising to buy 100 (that’s the target!) Shelter Boxes.
STOP PRESS! Some shelter boxes have already been sent to aid the Victorian Bushfire Appeal.

Mental Health
The Great Australian Bike Ride will raise awareness of mental illness issues and support for continuing research. By riding around the country we hope to unite thousands of Australians behind this cause.Good mental health makes life more enjoyable and helps us appreciate our environment and those around us. However for many Australians mental illness is debilitating and means they cannot enjoy life to the full. With around one in five people suffering from a mental illness, the Ride is a chance to make a difference in the lives of many!

Shining Stars
Little Georgina and Chloe Wood of Beacon Hill emptied their piggy banks and set off to Warringah Mall to find a charity to donate to for Christmas. Their christmas present to the less fortunate. They found the Rotary Christmas Raffle and asked if they could give this money for the poor. They gave $12.75.
How fantastic is that?
Thank you so much Georgina and Chloe. * You are our shining stars *
Thanks to the ongoing commitment and generosity of our community the Rotary club of Dee Why Warringah continues to achieve great things in communities at home and abroad. We thank you all for your support!

Cyber-fines: we're watching!
Our "interupted" dinner service is proving a challenge for our sergeant-in-arms to gather intelligence for the weekly fines. So it might be time for some collaboration. Don't let those fines go unnoticed! post them here.
