Heirisson Happenings?

Rotary Focus for the month of May 2019

Youth Service Month

 
 

Rotary believes in developing the next generation of leaders. Our programs help younger leaders build leadership skills, expand education and learn the value of service.

Interact clubs bring together young people ages 12-18 to develop leadership skills and learn about the world through service projects and activities.

Rotaract clubs bring together people ages 18-30 to exchange ideas with leaders in the community, develop leadership and professional skills, and have fun through service.

RYLA is a leadership development program for young people who want to learn new skills, build their confidence, and have fun. Events range from one-day seminars to weeklong camps.
 
 
Rotary Youth Exchange builds peace one young person at a time. Students learn a new language, discover another culture, and truly become global citizens. Exchanges for students ages 15-19 are sponsored by Rotary clubs in more than 100 countries.
 
 
New Generations Service Exchange is a short-term, customizable program for university students and professionals up to age 30. Participants can design exchanges that combine their professional goals with a humanitarian project.

Rick Fletcher, "My Life and Interests"

Photograph by Doug Worthington

 
‘Rick Fletcher did a very entertaining and informative presentation on his life in fisheries research and what it had taught him about leadership.  After graduating with a degree in marine science in Victoria, Rick and his wife Debbie moved to Vanuatu where he researched the biology of the coconut crab, which was/is an important economic resource for the local people.  At the time, the crab population was declining due to over-fishing.  After many adventures in the water and the jungle, the biology was better understood to the point where Rick was able to develop a management plan for the coconut crab, resulting in the recovery of the crab stocks.  From there, Rick and Debbie and their young family moved to Sydney where Rick headed up fisheries research in NSW.  It was during this period he earned his PhD.  However, some (implied) differences of opinion with the Minister and the Director-General resulted in Rick deciding to move on.  However,  what comes around goes around and now the Minister is in gaol and Rick ended up employing the ex-Director-General.  Rick then came across to Western Australia where he had a leadership position in fisheries research, management and regulation in the Department of Fisheries.  That department, along with agriculture and regional development was incorporated into the new Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development and Rick is now responsible for the state’s management of the pastoral leasehold estate.  At all stages along this interesting and varied journey, Rick developed 10 excellent rules about leadership, which have stood him in good stead!  (Written by Don Burnside, and apologies to Rick for any sins of omission or commission)

As part of our ongoing support of our veterans and their families, RSLWA is now embarking on its next major fundraising opportunity. And we need your help.
 
The assistance that the RSLWA receives from our  community supporters is what makes our goals achievable. Without community organisations like you, we would be at a loss.
