LAST WEEK S GUEST SPEAKER, GRANT LOCK Grant had a fascinating story to tell of the 24 years he and his wife, Janna, spent living and working in the Taliban region of Afghanistan and Pakistan. It was inspiring to learn how a successful farmer and breeder of prize winning cattle from Kimba, motivated initially by Janna s desire to make a difference, became the Deputy Executive Director of one of the largest NGOs in the region.

Many thanks to Robert Ryan and Tom Bunnik for taking a place on the organising committee for the Rotary Image Day on Sunday Oct 7.

3 CLUB NEWS: PRESIDENT ROB CHAMBER S DESK From The President in Vienna Someone has to do this, so it might as well be me. All good here as you can see. Great idea to support Seaton High kids (or anyone else) to participate in the "River Murray Youth Forum". Many thanks to Robert Ryan and Tom Bunnik for taking a place on the organising committee for the Rotary Image Day on Sunday Oct 7. This is the best opportunity our club has ever had to tell the public what we do and how we do it. Over the years, Rotary has been reluctant to brag about our work and projects, big or small - a mistake in hindsight. Our biggest achievement, "Ending Polio", is being celebrated worldwide in October. When this project started in the early 1980's over 400,000 new cases occurred every year (mostly paralysing children). After 10 billion doses have been administered by 1 million volunteers, and over $4.5 billion raised mainly by Rotary, only a hand-full of cases remain. The original estimated in 1980 was $2 billion. After 3 years of no new cases the disease will be considered as wiped out and only the second disease (after Smallpox) to be eradicated. I hope all of you will take the opportunity to participate in our event on Sunday October 7. Just a few hours will make all the difference and show the public why you joined Rotary in the first place. Thank you for your support. From President Rob 3
