Speaker:   Jo Baxter

Come and hear from Jo, our member about the Rotary Action Group's Activities.

Substance abuse and addiction of illicit drugs is a global problem and can only be addressed by the joint efforts of all worldwide organizations including governments. 

In a combined, structured and sustained action, the mission of the Rotarian Action Group for Addiction Prevention is to strengthen those efforts by organizing an international group of Rotary specialists and activists to develop constructive plans of action to be used to initiate prevention of addiction and illicit drugs. 

Within Rotary the group will work to inform, stimulate, support and advise clubs and districts how to tackle the problem in a structural long-term manner, with vision and a strategy. They will offer Rotarians a quarterly newsletter, website and opportunities to interact and share ideas for awareness and prevention at conferences and conventions.

On Wednesday the 18th we have a Fund Raising BBQ at the Memorial Gardens.  Ken Haines and Paul Duke will be in attendance.  We need a coluple more volunteers to help with food preparation, cooking and serving.

Please advise Jerry by phone (0407 646 396) if you can help, soonest.
