5 CENTENARY CELEBRATION! The Rotary Club of Canberra on behalf of District Governor Steven Hill is organising a Foundation Dinner to celebrate 100 years of the Rotary Foundations from very humble beginnings our Foundation started in 1916 with it first donation of $27. It has grown to one of the leading charitable trusts in the world. It spearheads our efforts in regards to the eradication of Polio. It is our Foundation and we all should be immensely proud of its contribution to our World. We are running a dinner to celebrate on the 19th November at Royal Canberra Golf Club. The base details are: Function Name: District 9710 Foundation Centenary Dinner Date: 19th November 2016 Venue: Royal Canberra Golf Club Westbourne Woods YARRALUMLA, ACT Time: 6.30 for Cocktails on the Terrace weather permitting. Dinner to be served from 7.30 Cost: $95 per head Table Cost: $760 Tables are to be set for eight and the Rotary Club of Canberra has generously offered to give any Rotary Club who takes a table one Paul Harris credit - take two get two credits.

Bill Lilley, John Snedden and Peter Jarvis from Queanbeyan West took on the joint roll of mentoring the development of the new club. (Peter Jarvis went on to become our Charter President). Advertising for potential members began in March After a successful campaign, the Club was chartered on 18 November 1998 with 26 members. Initial meetings were held at the Jerrabomberra General Store the venue was very good until we grew in numbers. We then moved to the Jerrabomberra Community Centre for a few years, and we now meet at the Jerrabomberra Public School Staff Room, on Thursdays (6.15 for 6.30 pm). (Charter) President Peter Jarvis ran competitions to select a name for our Club Newsletter and a design for the Club banner. There were some good and some not so good suggestions. Pam Spencer suggested the winning bulletin name Jerraganda and David Stevens was the successful designer of our club banner. The design incorporated a goose and the windmill associated with the original entrance to the estate adjacent to the Community Centre. Both the Jerraganda and the Club logo have evolved to keep pace with modern times. We have always been, and continue to be, a vibrant and fun loving club providing valued community service, both locally and internationally. Our motto is, Doing Good and Having Fun 7
