Photo Contest for Rotarians

Dear Club Members, Interact and Rotaract Chairs,

2014 is starting across Zones 24-32 with a little fun – the first ever Zone 24-32 photo contest. RI Director Bryn Styles has endorsed an Avenues of Service – Zone Photo Contest.
This is an opportunity for the Rotarians across Zone 24-32 to share photos about the Rotary service projects and fellowship events they have held or will hold this Rotary year.

The prizes are simple, boasting rights as the best Rotary photographer in the zone, a certificate and the winning photos in each of the Avenues of Service posted on this website and hopefully district websites. Winners will be announced in mid- April. So get out your SLR, point and shoot or phone camera and click away.

The most important rule of the contest is “have fun”.

The photographer must be a member of a Rotary, Rotaract or Interact club in Zone 24 or Zone 32. Photos submitted must be in JPEG file format with a maximum size of 3 MB and be submitted on or before March 31 2014. Each photographer may submit up to 3 photos that were taken between July 1 2013 and March 31 2014. Each photo will be submitted in one of the 5 Avenues of Service that the photo best illustrates.

What can you do? Share this email with your club members and clubs across your district. Send this message to Rotaract or Interact Clubs in your district.

The Zone 24-32 RPICs (Rotary Public Image Coordinators) will be the contest judges.

Me to We – Better Choices for a Better World

Bryanna Kenny – part of “Me to We” in Asemkow, Ghana

Dear Carmel and members of Rotary Bathurst,

I am writing to thank you for your generous donation to Me to We. Because of your financial assistance, I was able to help to help build a school for many children in the village of Asemkow, Western Region, Ghana. With the help of 27 other humanitarians involved on this Me to We volonteer trip, we were able to make a lasting impact on sustaining this village’s economy and the education of many children who would have otherwise lacked an education, clean water, and sanitation. Within the short period of 3 weeks, progress on our partnership with the community was visible, and vibrant. Your support means everything.

I am also inviting you to attend Spencer West’s presentation on November 16^th here in Bathurst. Spencer is a Me to We motivational speaker that has done great projects for this organization and has raised awareness around the world. He was born with a medical issue that resulted in amputating both of his legs from the waist down; Spencer walks on his hands. He has climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in Kenya two summers ago to raise over $500,000 for clean water projects. Spencer has also walked from Calgary to Edmonton on his hands in his latest campaign for Me to We.

Spencer is an incredible person despite his disability, and I strongly encourage you to come and listen to his story at the BHS amphitheater November 16th.

Please watch his story at the link below:

Once again, thank you so much for your support, Bryanna Kenny

Let’s continue that trend. The day starts at 9 am with registration between 8

their knowledge and to work with the group. Please contact me if you have any
