Presentation of Awards.

The Paul Harris Fellow Awards

Whilst we have some awards to present tonight, there is one which I will present earlier

than the others, as we do have some special guests who would like to send the rest of the

evening with us.

Many members have travelled overseas to serve. Some have served significantly within our

local community, regardless of where they have served, they have served putting service

above self.

Tonight I recognise particular members and a partner,

with a recognition titled after our founder, Paul Harris.

The Paul Harris Fellowship is named after Paul Harris, who

founded Rotary over 100 years ago. The Fellowship was

established in his honour in 1957 to express appreciation &

recognition for a contribution of $1000 to the Rotary

Foundation .Click on this for more info:

http://rotary9520.org/Page/paul-harris-fellow

Every Paul Harris Fellow receives a pin, medal & certificate

when they become a fellow.

Tonight we have the honour and pleasure of recognising

our awardees as they become Paul Harris Fellows and as a

special expression of appreciation from The Rotary Club of

Campbelltown.

Our first Award- Paul Harris Fellow –Stephany Martin- Award presented by President Elizabeth -

Tonight is a member who has contributed a great deal to our club during the over six years they have

been a Rotarian. This member was responsible for attendance as their first club service role. On a

personal note, I was also this Rotarian's mentor.

This member threw herself in to club and community service,

contributing at club level through her directorship of the International

and Rotary Foundation Committee; working with other members to

propose a Global Grant project with a total project value of over

$60,000.

This member has been passionate about international service, being the

instigator of the International Womens Day dinner in 2015; and working

with other members to make it bigger and better in 2016, raising over

$12,000 in one night towards programs related to our international

community.

But the level of Rotary where this member has significantly contributed

is at District level. This member was the key instigator for the Rotaract

Club of Sturt being chartered, and jointly received the District 9520

Best New Generations Project Award at District Changeover in 2015.

< Pic : DG Bob Cooper, Stephany Martin & President Elizabeth

P a g e | 3

She was a delegate to Rotary Australia's National Youth Summit in 2015, a summit where she played a key

role in developing the future membership and engagement strategies for our young people.

This member joined the District RYLA/RYPEN Committee in 2015-16; establishing and running RYPEN

Sunraysia in 2016; doubling the attendance in 2017. This member has served as Chair of this Committee for

the past year; growing both programs significantly.

In April 2017, this member spoke at the District Conference about her experience at both RYPEN and RYLA,

commended by the District Governor for her presentation; and later received on behalf of her committee

the District 9520 Best New Generations Project Award.

This member served on the District Training Committee in 2016-17 and currently serves on the District

Protection Committee.

Unfortunately, she has not been able to participate in everything she has wished to, breaking her arm at the

Adelaide University library two weeks before our club's 2015 Rotahomes project trip, which would have been

her first journey overseas.

She currently serves on our Youth Committee.

Recently, I had the honour to be present when this member was named the South Australian Young Citizen of

the Year for 2018, complimenting her City of Campbelltown Young Citizen of the Year recognition.

Tonight, I understand she becomes the youngest Rotarian in District 9520 to receive this honour.

She was the youngest member when first joining Rotary at the Club of Wentworth, who have sent a letter

saying how proud they are of her achievements & wish her all the best .

As members would well know, of course, I speak of Stephany Martin.

Stephany would you please come forward.

Stephany Martin you have set an example for many by your contributions to our club and the broader

community. Your personal involvement makes our community a better place in which to live.

I am honoured to present you with this Paul Harris pin, certificate and medal.

The symbolism in this recognition is to say thank you for making a

difference to our club, our community and in the lives of less

fortunate people around the world. By accepting this pin you will join

a family of well over 950,000 Paul Harris Fellows worldwide.

Stephany gave a brief response and “…, I am humbled & thank you

to Rotary, family, friends & mentor Damian.”

o DG Bob Cooper then gave a few words , congratulating Stephany

& the award was for recognising her for doing a great

outstanding job, in the local community , nationally & overseas…

He also acknowledged that our Cub had successfully received a

District Grant to the value of $5000 for The Dementia & Sensory

Garden.

Vince gave a few words …” Its an honour to serve; you do it because you

enjoy it; The great thing about this Club is there is such a reservoir of

knowledge & experience that if you have your training wheels on you can

always ask & get help when needed . Nothing is too much trouble when

you are surrounded by willing & able members aiming to put your ideas

into practice.. ..Thank you very much to you all.

President Elizabeth, Guests and Rotarians,

It gives me much pleasure to present to you a Rotarian of

our club;

Joining in 1973, 44.3 years ago, he has served with distinction the

many rolls within the club over the years…

His dedication and enthusiasm has never waned, no matter how

onerous the task…

I will briefly highlight some:

International service, Project and Community Service, becoming

President in 1982.

Pic > DG Bob Cooper, Peter Rumbelow, presenter Eric Webb & President Elizabeth

Then in 1985 the District Conference “with the theme The Campbells are Coming”, complete with the Lock

Ness Monster at Thorndon Park Lake and the crowning moment – the haggis, that we all sampled at the

District Conference Banquet, some more, some less, it tasted like brain.

If you haven’t guessed who it is, he chaired the formation of a new club in 1989, then Art show Convener in

1990…

The list continues: District Conference Director 1991-2, rising to the high and most demanding position,

Bulletin Edition 1995, and much more: Treasurer 2005, Secretary 2007, Vice President 2008, Sergeant 2011,

Vice President 2015…This Rotarian has been very active in District involvement also: GSE Team 2006-7, He

was Team Leader of a very successful exchange to USA.

Rotary Student Exchange, has occupied much time having hosted: Heini Lampela (Finland) 1982,

Gwen Rosenbergen (USA) 1982, Irma Hess (Mexico) 1984, Erk Wienen (Germany) 1991

P a g e | 7

I would like to share with you all some fond memories that I have, on the occasion when Joe & Jule

Hudspith you guessed it Peter & Jen Rumbelow & Valma and I went to Finland to Heini Lampela’s wedding:

The six of us were given pride of place next to the Bridal table, but there was a catch. As the Lampelas

are a musical family, we at Heini’s request, had to sing for our supper. The song was ‘Sunrise Sun Set’. All

the other 4 sang beautifully, but Joe and I, especially me, can’t sing a note in tune, we just mimed. We had

a great time in the land of the midnight sun.

Peter was the driving force taking over from Milton (due to illness) in presenting the club 50th Birthday

Celebrations in a most professional manner.

Peter also found time to be an Assistant Governor when asked in 1997-99.

Peter was also Campbelltown’s Citizen of the Year in 2005, he’s a Paul

Harris Fellow and Sapphire Pin.

In all these endeavours and achievements Jen Rumbelow has always given

of her best support and in recognition was awarded a PHF in 2008.

I present to you all Peter Rumbelow, who has given service above self.

Peter responded by saying that Rotary serves you up challenges that

make you raise the bar & roll up your sleeves to get things done & Rotary

gives you much more than you give Rotary….

Our 7th Award-Business Excellence Award- Spring Gully Foods

Could I please ask Eric Webb and Kevin Webb to come forward.

It is my pleasure, to welcome charter member Eric Webb and former

member Kevin Webb for a special presentation tonight

Many of you will be aware that Eric is the chairman of Spring Gully Foods

and Kevin is the managing director.

In 2013 Spring Gully went into voluntary administration with debts of

close to $5m.

In a time of crisis, Spring Gully’s executive management had some serious

decisions to make regarding the future of the business.

> Pic : Kevin & Eric Webb very happy to receive their award from President Elizabeth

They could have chosen the path of least resistance but instead they chose to work through the issues,

enter a dead of arrangement, repay their creditors and protect the jobs of the many people employed in

their company.

With support from the community, predominantly in South Australia, in buying their locally produced

products, Spring Gully cleared its debt to both secured and non-secured creditors in December 2017.

More than just clearing the debt, they paid their creditors 102 cents in the dollar as a gesture of goodwill

for their support.

The decisions made by the Spring Gully executive and in particular Kevin and Eric exemplify the values of

Rotary and as a result it is my absolute pleasure to present to Eric and Kevin

A Business Excellence award for Spring Gully Foods on behalf of the Rotary Club of Campbelltown.

Both Eric & Kevin responded. Kevin said it was a real surprise. He was brought up by Eric with Rotary , its

ideals & its message “The Four Way Test “ He is proud to stand with his Dad on this special occasion & is

thrilled to accept the award on behalf of Spring Gully & his brother Ross who was unable to attend tonight.

Ralph Holmes gave a Report.

President Elizabeth, Rotarians and Guests

It is a pleasure to report on behalf of Mal and Val Hansen on the fellowship visit to

the Neale property at Punyelroo last weekend.

Four of our great CROE supporters from Victoria, Paula and Charlie

Rupe and Anthony and Anne Hutchison and also Shirley Gibbs from

Loxton were already there by the time Eric, Jenny and I arrived with

our two older grandsons. Indeed, Charlie and Hutchy had helped Mal

remove a Willow tree stump and other debris from the edge of the river prior to our

arrival so Eric and I escaped the working bee.

Tm and Gaye Fischer, also fantastic supporters of CROE, along with Janet and David Munro were also there

for Friday night and a great BBQ and shared meal.

Brian Stevens, David Richards, Ian and Pat Reddy, Heather and Benny Bosman and

their two grandsons joined the group for a very enjoyable and relaxing day on

Saturday. Pat and Anne enjoyed a paddle on the river in the Neale family paddle boat

and the four grandsons had a ball on a doughnut tethered to the jetty, the paddle

boat and a kyak.

While some visitors departed on Saturday, Mary and Bruce Davis joined the group for

another great shared meal with lots of chatter. Sadly Jenny took a tumble when she failed to step

high enough over the electric fence and is home nursing a very sore right shoulder, sore eye and

wounded pride.

On behalf of everyone, I say a great big thankyou to Reg, Jeff and the Neale families for allowing us to

enjoy their property and river frontage.

Thankyou.

Shed Report by Brian Stevens.

A steel run is planned for This Saturday 17/2 so will be needed.

PS. 1) Please do not bring any large items to Shed without checking with Shed

Committee first.

This rarely happens and may leave that person in somewhat of a pickle.

Our next Shed Sale is Saturday week 24/2.

We have decided to hold our March sale on 31/3,which is Easter Saturday,

as recent experience.has demonstrated making changes is not a good idea. Pic> Wacka & friend at the Shed

Fines Session by Sergeant Benny –

Benny recited a Poem by Pam Ayres & whoever could relate to it was invited to contribute a $1.

Lots of hands were raised so the poem resonated with many, all giving their dollar coin to clever Sgt Benny !

I have a little Satnav, It sits there in my car

A Satnav is a driver's friend, it tells you where you are.

I have a little Satnav, I've had it all my life

It's better than the normal ones, my Satnav is called a wife.

It gives me full instructions, especially how to drive

"It's sixty miles an hour", it says, "You're doing sixty five".

It tells me when to stop and start, and when to use the brake

And tells me that it's never ever, safe to overtake.

It tells me when a light is red, and when it goes to green

It seems to know instinctively, just when to intervene.

It lists the vehicles just in front, and all those to the rear

And taking this into account, it specifies my gear.

I'm sure no other driver, has so helpful a device

For when we leave and lock the car, it still gives its advice.

It fills me up with counselling, each journey's pretty fraught

So why don't I exchange it, and get a quieter sort?

Ah well, you see, it cleans the house, makes sure I'm properly fed

It washes all my shirts and things, and keeps me warm in bed!

Despite all these advantages, and my tendency to scoff,

I only wish that now and then, I could turn the bugger off. by Pam Ayres

Thought for the Week

The only way to do great work is to Love what you Do. by Steve Jobs

Steven Paul Jobs February 24, 1955 – October 5, 2011 was an American entrepreneur,

business magnate, inventor, and industrial designer. He was the chairman, chief executive

officer (CEO), and a co-founder of Apple Inc., CEO and majority shareholder of Pixar, a

member of The Walt Disney Company's board of directors following its acquisition of

Pixar, and the founder, chairman, and CEO of NeXT. Jobs and Apple co-founder Steve

Wozniak are widely recognized as pioneers of the microcomputer revolution of the 1970s and 1980s.

Jobs was born in San Francisco to parents who had to put him up for adoption at birth, and he was raised

in the San Francisco Bay Area during the 1960s He attended Reed College in 1972 before dropping

out, and traveled through India in 1974 seeking enlightenment and studying Zen Buddhism. Wikipedia

Social Day Cruise on the 'One & All' - March 2018 Following a very successful Youth Sailing Experience voyage to Port Lincoln, some Rotary Clubs expressed an interest in taking part in a more relaxed, social, sail for their members and friends on the 'One & All.' The inaugural February twilight cruise proved very popular and booked out quickly, leaving many people disappointed.

We are very happy to announce that another social cruise has been organised on Sunday, March 4th 2018, departing from Port Adelaide

at 10:00 am and returning at 3:00 pm. The Day Sail includes delicious on board catering, tea, coffee and cool drinks as we cruise around the Gulf! The cost will be $100 per head, dependent on our filling the ship, which can carry 40 passengers. Positions on this cruise are now on sale to all Rotarians and their friends.

Please distribute this information around your Club and in your Bulletin. This is an ideal Club social event and you will be supporting an exciting new Rotary Youth program. Book promptly to

avoid disappointment!
