Allkids Project Update

         The AllKids Prek Trabaek Centre development in Cambodia
         continues to move ahead in leaps and bounds, reports
         Paul Otto, the in country Director. Heavy rain at the
         beginning of July slowed progress a little but he was
         amazed to see the steel workers welding the in rain.

         The concrete/brick team are also way ahead of schedule.
         With the roof on, there’s plenty of work to do during
         rainy days. 52 metres of concrete drainage channels
         completed.

         This project was initiated by the RC St Peters as a
         RAWCS project supported by D9510.  $50,000 has
         been raised so far.                                            52 metres of concrete drainage channels

                Voting time for the Regionalization Pilot


                If clubs have not yet voted on this matter to advise their President, they need to do so in the
                 next two weeks.
         Presidents have been given a window from 15th-29th September to lodge the club vote. It is imperative
         that all clubs vote because a non-vote will be recorded as no vote under this RI voting process.


         A big thank you to all clubs for setting aside meetings to discuss this Rotary - changing topic as well as
         to the 12 presenters who covered all 86 Rotary and Rotaract clubs over 10 weeks and finished the task
         by 31 August.

         Rotaract to be full partners in the Regionalization vote

         The Core team running the regionalization pilot strategy petitioned the RI Board to change its mind to
         allow Rotaract clubs definitive voting rights along with Rotary clubs. The districts had been concerned
         that Rotaract was being treated unfairly in the process.

         The matter was discussed with RI administration which accepted the arguments put and our Zone Director
         Jessie Harman presented the motion to the Board at its meeting in late August. The Board unanimously
         agreed to the change.
