Since joining Rotary (Liverpool West Club), I had heard about the club’s involvement with the Vietnam Vision Project, a group who travelled to Vietnam and surrounding countries to perform cataract operations. I began making enquiries with members who had been on trips and commenced to get a better grasp of the operation.

Not to bore everybody with events, next thing I knew, there I was (with fellow VVP travellers) at Sydney airport at 6:00am unloading a truck with what appeared to be an endless number of boxes and containers. These had to be loaded and unloaded several times during the trip.

I was allocated to the Support Staff and apart from loading, unloading and being a general “do as you are told” person (a few people did tell me what to do, or was that, where to go!). The position of Assistant Autoclave Operator (what a title) was bestowed upon me, this gave me the opportunity of being in and around the operating theatre and I was able to observe

So now school is over and all the exchange students from Finland gathered together to go on Eurotour!
Our Eurotour consisted of all of us students on buses (and occasionally boats) driving around Europe for 18 days. We went from Finland to Sweden by boat. This was one of the big cruise ships like nothing I'd experienced before and they had lots of fun things to do while we were floating over to Sweden. After we got off we then drove through Sweden to get to another boat that would take us to

The coldest night of the year did not deter the new president of Liverpool Greenway from attending last night’s meeting where she detailed plans for her club’s year ahead. Mrs June Young is already renowned for her organisational abilities in putting together such successful functions as The Police Officer of the Year Awards and The annual Combined Services Dinner. June is now focussing on staging The Christmas in July spectacular which will again involve the input of all three Liverpool Rotary clubs. The focus for her year as president is to bring the three Liverpool clubs closer together by means of holding

We had another very good roll up to tonight’s meeting. I counted 26 people in attendance. These included our special guest speaker, the inspirational Colin Taylor; Pastor Colin Davidson of The Inspire Church and Poppy and Duncan, fresh from their RYPEN Camp (with their family members).

Our speaker for the night, Colin Taylor, knows a thing or two about automobiles. His life basically revolved around them, especially Chevrolet cars, a passion he shared with long time friend

So this month Rotary took us to Russia, we visited the grand city of St. Petersburg. It is an enormous city although not that old it still has many beautiful palaces and a fortress which are great to look at. We visited sites like the Hermitage, several churches, Peter the Greats chamber of Curiosities. We also saw a Russian ballet and some incredibly talented Cossack Dancers. There was lots of fun with the other exchange students on the busses and in the hotel as well as looking at all of the amazing sights. I took over a thousand photos and now that Eurotour is upon us I fear my camera might run out of memory

Numbers for last night’s meeting were bolstered to twenty three with the return of myself and other Vietnam Vision volunteers; Joe Cauchi, Ted Mlynarz and Jimmy Leahy. Bob Groat was unable to attend as the stomach bug he procured some eight days ago in Saigon is still preventing him from functioning on all cylinders. Many of our wives were also in attendance which made our special guest, Professor Des Richardson feel right at home. Des is no stranger to our club. Besides being a local to the area, he has visited many times previously whilst also being the recipient of research funds provided by our club.

Professor Richardson’s major contributions to cancer research are focused on understanding the role of iron in cancer cell proliferation and the development of novel anti-tumour agents known as iron chelators. Indeed, these studies have resulted in highly promising and potent anti-cancer drugs

They provide Aboriginal Child Protection Services and Community Capacity Building Programs to the Indigenous community of South-West Sydney. They develop and implement best practices in all aspects of their management and service provision and are recognised as the largest Aboriginal children’s service in NSW.

This month was very good and a lot of fun. There was Easter for starters where we got to eat a lot of lamb, apparently more than half of all the lamb eaten in Finland is during Easter. I got to experience the Lutheran Church where there was a wonderful organist playing all sorts of music. It was a bit different from the Roman Catholic Church I have grown up in but I am quite sure that the content was fairly similar. We visited some family friends in Porvoo which is a lovely old town by a river. It is one of the really old towns in Finland although it has burned down a few times but it is still really beautiful.

Last night, I had the pleasure of performing a number of very satisfying duties on behalf of our club. As with all other meetings this year, most our members were fittingly on hand to share the experience.

The culmination of our main fund raising effort saw the handing over of a rather substantial cheque to Drug Arm. National Fund Raising Manager, Jane Thompson and Management Team Member, Naomi Talamaivao were on hand to receive a cheque for over $54,000 from our club which will help administer their Street Outreach Service over the coming year. Drug Arm receives no government funding; therefore allowing a partnership to flourish with our club that has become mutually beneficial. The bottom line is that our club gets to stage a yearly Circus Extravaganza for children and Drug Arm receives much needed operating funds. To date, this partnership has seen in excess of $500,000 raised for Drug Arm and more than 100,000 children pass through the turnstiles of The Circus. Not a bad result in just eight short years.

Last night our club hosted the very successful and well attended Miller TAFE Awards Presentation. These particular evenings seem to be getting bigger and better every year, so much so that Liverpool Catholic Club moved the event to one of the larger function rooms to cater for the 66 people whom were in attendance.

Our club’s association with Miller TAFE is well documented and dates back some thirty years. Who would have thought that when Liverpool West’s John Leckey, Greg Peel, Bill Keech, Tony Everett, John Mula, George Kristen and Peter Houghton sat down with TAFE administrators in 1981 to work out an awards scheme our club could administer and call our own, that it would still hold such significance so many years later? The vision of these men now sees our club firmly entrenched as a supporter of one of the districts leading teaching faculties.

This month had lots of things happening; it seems to be a trend.

The biggest/most exciting thing was going to Sweden. I took a plane with my host family to Gothenburg for the synchronised skating world finals. Our team, “Team Fintastic” won by a fair amount, which was wonderful. The girls all celebrated and screamed their lungs out. We were there for two days and in the daytime I got to look around the city and see some sights including some very old churches and a military aircraft museum in a retired secret underground hangar. That was pretty cool. There was also an exhibition on Bollywood

This evening, the much anticipated ‘Great Debate’ was held at Hunts Hotel Crossroads. The eight protagonists representing the four clubs, unapologetically and unashamedly lied, cheated, defamed and did everything within their power bar commit an atrocity to convince the judge that they had the better of the argument. In the end it was the combined team of Liverpool and Liverpool Greenway who took home the bacon, and the wine. Liverpool Greenway President, Wayne Schembri mounted what could only be called subversive tactics in his efforts to debunk the Liverpool West and Cabramatta teams argument from the relative safety of his podium. In the end it was all in fun and Wayne and his club should be congratulated for making it the fun evening everyone expected. Thanks to our team which comprised, Pat Murray, David Goldston, David Butterfield and Margaret Favelle. You did us proud but maybe next year we can employ some under handed tactics of our own.
