Last week we had the pleasure of hearing ANGELA FORBES, CEO Connections speak of some of the challenges of working with vulnerable and disadvantaged families and young people. Amgela gave a number of examples of the very practical help that can allow her organisation to connect with families and then potenially address the issues that confront people.

JUNE - ROTARY FELLOWSHIP MONTH  

• Share a common interest in worthwhile recreational activities (sports, hobbies, etc.);
• Further  vocational development through acquaintance with others of the same profession;
• Make new friends around the world;
• Explore new opportunities for service; and
• Have fun and enhance their experience in Rotary.
  What are the benefits for Rotarians in joining the Rotary Fellowships? Fellowship provide opportunities for Rotarians to make lasting friendships outside their own Club, District or country. Fellowships contribute to the advancement of world understanding and peace. Also, Fellowships serve as an incentive for attracting new members to Rotary and retaining our existing members. Indeed, Rotary Fellowship, together with the Rotarian Action Groups, serve as an effective tool in promoting membership development and should be actively promoted in our Districts.

Members of the Scuba Diving Rotary Fellowship show their club banner underwater.

Interested Rotarians can join a Rotary Fellowship by clicking http://www.rotary.org/programs/fellowships/index.html or even start a prospective Rotary Fellowship if their recreational or vocational interest is not in the list of approved Rotary Fellowships.

The Rotary Foundation is a not-for-profitcorporation that supports the efforts of Rotary International to achieve world understanding and peace through international humanitarian, educational, and cultural exchange programs. It is supported solely by voluntary contributions from Rotarians and friends of the Foundation who share its vision of a better world.

If you did not get to read the attached articles last week please spare some time this week to open and read. Both have some valuable and interesting information.
