Very sad to learn of the passing of PDG Bob Aitken β¦ a true Rotarian.The heart and soul of Rotary Down Under and a true Rotary gentleman
RDU Editor 1984-2014
Forever in our hearts and greatly missed
It was a dark day for all at Rotary Down Under when we learned of the passing of PDG Bob Aitken AM. His unwavering support, mentorship, encouragement and love brought out the very best in all who crossed his path.
Our June edition of RDU will pay special tribute to Bob, who dedicated his life to shining a floodlight on Rotaryβs service in Australia, New Zealand, the South West Pacific and beyond.

Since 7 October, nearly 200 humanitarian workers have been killed in Gaza, including seven from Monday's attack on a World Central Kitchen convoy.
βοΈ This must stop βοΈ
Humanitarian workers - including our partners - are putting their own lives at risk to deliver aid to people who desperately need it but are unable to leave. The only way to ensure their safety, and the safety of all civilians, is with a humanitarian ceasefire.
π£ Share this post to show your solidarity with aid workers in Gaza and around the world.

Thank you to Theo Glockermann from Pennant Hills Rotary, who spoke to us about holding RYLA youth leadership programsin Timor-Leste. Every year 1,000 young people from Timor-Leste apply for the 80 available places on this amazing Rotary program. There is also a schoolβs based RYPEN program enriching young peopleβs lives and working to Improve self esteem, improve family relationships, school attendance, goal setting and community service which is helping to lessen incidents of sexual assault. It is always good to remind ourselves of the powerful work that Rotary is doing both here and overseas with young people. ... See MoreSee Less
Wow! I haven’t seen Theo in years! Great to see him still engaged with RYLA in Timor-Leste! Our club is also very much part of this project for a while!
Embrace the day was the message from our fabulous Rotary Exchange student Ingrid this morning. She entertained the meeting with a report on her recent Safari Trip to Kangaroo Island, Alice Springs and UluαΉu with 19 other Echange students from all over the world!
It was wonderful hearing about Ingridβs experiences and the lifelong friendships she has made. As a club we definitely recommend being part of the Rotary Exchange experience.π
And we all sang happy Birthday to incoming president Maria π

Do things slowly and donβt restrict yourself. Ellen spoke about the mums who inspire her at the Fit Kidz Foundation and working to connect families with neurodiverse children.
