The Rotary Youth Sailing Challenge has set sail once again.
This program is currently operating twice a year and gives
the opportunity for 19 students to sail on a 5 day training
program. As they learn to sail the ship they learn many
valuable life skills. Jenny and I were able to attend the
launch and wished them Bon Voyage. I also had the
opportunity to speak to the parents, families and friends
present there about Rotary and this particular program.
Once again having the opportunity to promote Rotary.
Congratulations to David Binks and his team for delivering this program for our district.

Preparations are continuing for our District Conference
in the Barossa Valley. Please ensure the 1st – 3rd April
is marked in your diary and join us for a fantastic week
end of fun and fellowship. I can also assure you that
we have some excellent speakers planned and as soon
as we have confirmation, we will highlight the speakers
on our website. For all of these reasons, you won’t
want to miss this Conference.

The Conference registration site is now open. Don’t miss the Early-bird registration and be quick to book
some accommodation.

Once again, thanks to Euan Miller (Norwood) for continuing as Editor of Rotary Matters and to
Graham Fussen (eClub D9510online) for his expertise in producing this publication. Thanks also to
PDG David Jones for taking care of Rotary Classifieds. A reminder that articles are to be sent to
District Secretary David Fenton.

As mentioned earlier, we have enjoyed being on the road visiting clubs. We continue to find the clubs in our
district welcoming and friendly. If we haven’t visited you yet, we are looking forward to getting to your clubs
and learning more about what you are doing in your community.

Yours in Rotary
DG Jeff Neale
