Monday 16 August 2021

R.I.P. Jerry Bernardo, Anne Padmore shares her Story with us, The Rotary Community Corp of Alex to the Rescue, and our first opportunity to take part in training....

 

From the Pen of our President....







On Saturday morning, Rosebank Rotarians joined the memorial service for Jerry Bernardo who had been called to higher service in the early hours of Tuesday.  The memories of and tributes to Jerry by family members, associates and fellow Rotarians evidenced a man who loved his family deeply and who was respected by everyone who knew him.  He was the epitome of service above self and spent many hours working on projects or assisting others in need.  He touched the lives of a large number of people in a positive way.  He will be warmly remembered and sorely missed by us all.




We extend our thoughts and prayers to Jean and her family at this time of sadness and as they face a future without Jerry.

At the memorial service, Sybille read the tributes to Jerry by Rotarians and these are recorded in the Memorial page of this Ramble.

I feel the last verse from a poem “Does it pay” is appropriate:

If some despondent soul to hope is stirred,

Some sad lip made to smile,

By any act of ours, or any word,

Then life has been worthwhile.


Last Friday.....



Christened Patricia Anne, but because of a family quirk, the second name was the one you went by, thus only ever listened to Anne.
Two older brothers were probably the reason that Anne recalled being a terrible tom-boy.
She grew up in Durban and has fond memories of being a teenager in the Eighties.


 
She admits that Princess Di was one of her influencers and there certainly was a resemblance.


Her three years at the University of Natal were pretty turbulent, but she did achieve her degree and had the great fortune of being offered her first job with the Sun Group which was part of the big international conglomerate UTI, a global supply chain services and logistics company. This allowed her to travel to many different parts of Europe such as Sweden, Germany, Italy, France, the UK and Spain.
Today she is the supply chain manager for Stellantis, which houses vehicle brands such as Jeep, Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Opel, Peugot, Dodge and Maserati.

Anne may have a wonderful career, but the loves of her life are her family. She speaks with great pride of her son Jarred and daughter Amy, and her beloved mother, who is 86 and in frail care.




And of course not to forget her fur babies, who she bought a big house with a garden for, after being told she would not be allowed to keep them in her previous abode.

For fun she she plays  golf and cycles. She has successfully completed 6 Argus cycle races and is aiming at doing at least 10.

And what she has learnt?

In the words of Princess Diana:

Carry out random acts of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge  that one day someone might do the same for you.


Alex Rotary Community Corp to the Rescue.....



A few days ago a devastating fire tore through parts of Alex leaving many people destitute. Through the generous donation of e-soup as reported on in last week's Ramble the Alex Rotary Community Corp were in a position to help people in need.






Training.... to protect the Environment



We're starting this year's Foundation training with the latest addition to Rotary's Areas of Focus - Protecting the Environment.

 

Please register for this training session, which will be held on Saturday, 21 August at 9 am. This training is open to all Rotarians, so please share with your members, but we'd like to particularly encourage Foundation Chairs, Service Projects Chairs and Presidents-Elect to attend.

 

Details of other upcoming training can be found on the District Foundation Training Page.




This Friday.....



Our monthly business meeting.







 



Monday 9 August 2021

The Rotary Community Corp of Alexandra gets showcased, Clem Sunter enthralled and the Rotary Anns made some children very happy with their knitting.....

 From the Pen of our President....



District has plans to establish a Rotary office/centre adjacent to the Humanitarian centre. Concept drawings are impressive and I will send copies of these to members this coming week. The Humanitarian centre will resume full operations once the worst of the current Covid wave is over. Books can still be collected provided you arrange this with Jeremy Phillips of the Bedfordview club in advance. The Humanitarian centre is not a district function - it is a Bedfordview project with sizeable funding provided by Jeremy.

Members are encouraged to do one or more online training courses. There are a number to choose from and will benefit you.

Many thanks to Sonja for organising the Clem Sunter event.  Positive comments were received from several of those who participated.

If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?



Last Friday.....


Our speaker  was Charles Mphephu who is the Chairperson of the Rotary Community Corps of Alexandra and an active community leader in Alexandra who speaks 8 different languages. He has diplomas in Business Management and Project Management. He is currently employed as a Project Coordinator with the Health Department of the City of Johannesburg. In this role he supervises and monitors field workers and reports to the Regional HIV and AIDS Operational Manager. He arranges in-service training and establishes community action groups in consultation with his ward Councillor to deal with issues of development and programmes involved in the support of people living with HIV and AIDS, especially children and child headed families. Charles works closely with the Men’s’ Forum of Alexandra who volunteer their time to combat Gender Based Violence. As a Rotarian he is currently working with the Institute of Applied Alchemy and the Rotary Satellite Club of Sandton Central to develop additional projects in this field. He was instrumental in setting up the Rotary Community Corps of Alexandra. DG Stella had the pleasure of recognizing Charles as Paul Harris Fellow. What is equally important, from a Rotary perspective, is that Rotary is being recognised and promoted in Alexandra.  





An RCC is an entity of Rotary International who work in partnership with Rotary Clubs to improve their communities through service projects. They can be leveraged in every stage of a project, from conducting community assessments to project planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation as they assist the needy members of the Alexandra Community. They hold one thing in common – they each are committed to their community’s long-term development and self-sufficiency and being leaders displaying Rotary values.




As a special expression of appreciation club members offered donations to enable the Community Corp members to carry out an array of programs. James, together with his son donated 6 000 fortified instant chicken soup flavoured meals with 24 added vitamins and 9 chelated minerals. For the RCC’s upcoming project at the Banakekeleni Orphanage, Costa donated 800 soup meals and Pam donated 7 kgs of fortified vitamin enriched peanut butter for a sandwich to add to the winter soup.




Supporting a Rotary Community Corps is a great way of empowering young leaders to solve their community’s problems and enhancing Rotary’s reach and impact.

We had our first official Zoom Raid last Friday with the following Sandton Central members attending our meeting:

David Grant, Charles Mphephu, Grace Dube, Allan Carter and Beata Gelderbloem and guest Michelle Strydom, who is interested in becoming a Rotarian.

Welcome!!





Clem Sunter's Presentation a resounding success...



A very big thank you has to go to Sonja Hood for organizing another successful well attended fundraiser. We are so grateful that Clem Sunter agreed to donate his precious time to share some thought provoking insights of his world view.
Terry Winship once again made sure that everything ran smoothly and thanks to her we have a recording of his presentation that we would like to share with you.

The next "Save the Date" that we would like you to pen into your diaries is our annual Quiz Fundraiser taking place on Wednesday the 20th October at the Parkview Golf Club.

An appeal goes out to all members to please help us with raffle prizes.


Winter Woollies warm little hearts....


It is always heartwarming when one sees that one's labour of love makes a difference in a child's life. This past long weekend Sybille spent some time in the District of Giyani in Limpopo where she met with renowned Dr. Coenie Louw, CEO of Gateway Health Institute and she had the opportunity of gifting a few children with beanies, jerseys and scarves that the Rosebank Rotary Anns had lovingly knitted. Pictures were taken with the permission of the mothers.






This Friday....



Apart from it being Membership Month at Rotary, it's Woman's Month as well in August and so it is only fitting that Anne Padmore will be sharing her story with us.





 

 

 




Monday 2 August 2021

The monthly social meeting remains socially distanced, Blankets continue to provide warmth, the Environment elicits Enthusiasm, and two days remaining to secure your seat to the Clem Sunter fundraiser...

 From the Pen of our President....


Our District Governor Dr Stella Anyangwe is scheduled to visit the club on 10 September.  It is very likely that this will be a Zoom meeting.  Initially this will be with the Board prior to joining in our regular Friday meeting with all members.  This will be an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have about District activities, grants, etc.

Please keep up your efforts in getting more people to join the Clem Sunter event on Wednesday and so boost our fundraising.  This event will replace our quiz.  A number of members have not yet participated in our regular quizzes.  They are great fun and it will be super if more of you give it a go.  The link to the quiz will be sent to you in advance.  Hope to see you at our next quiz on 11 August!

Last Friday.....


…. our monthly Social Meeting.
With the third Covid wave still very much a stark reality it may be quite a while before we can resume physical meetings, but let us be grateful that we can still enjoy the camaraderie and fellowship of Rotary, albeit at a distance. 
Social meetings give us an opportunity to share what we have been up to, what we will be getting up to, have a laugh or commiserate.
The good news: Jerry was discharged from hospital, but please keep him in your thoughts and prayers as it will be a long road to complete recovery. 
And of course the other good news was that Tatiana Schoonmaker had made history by beating the World Record and winning an Olympic gold medal in the 220 m breast stroke. What an achievement!
PP Ann spent a wonderful week with her family at Welgevonden and they were lucky to have encountered the Big 5 and had many other wonderful sightings.
Marianne Soal and her husband are about to embark on a two month road trip around South Africa, starting off in the Northern Cape, where they will be just in time to experience the beauty of the Namaqualand Flora, then on to Cape Town and up the coast to the Eastern Cape. They are leaving all their plans in the hands of the Lord and will take every day as it comes. What an adventure they will have!
Gareth Hood is still on summer vacation in China and is exploring many exotic travel destinations. We hope that he will share some pics with us.
Lorenzo Locatelli-Rossi will be flying out to Angola where he has been asked to report on a project by a Lebanese company who wish to establish a salt pan there.
Sybille will be heading up north to Tzaneen and Magoeba's Kloof for the long weekend to spend some time with Dr Coenie Louw who has an impressive CV as long as his arm to get some insights into sustainable projects that he is involved with. 
Ann and Jean visited the Woodside Sanctuary a Home for the Intellectually Disabled and gifted them 20 wonderfully warm blankets.




Assemblies of God in Alex also spread good cheer.





The Rotary Club of Rosebank's Green Shoots to help save the Environment....







Lyn Collocott has assembled an impressive committee who are all passionate about saving our environment - Jean, Sybille, Pam, Melodene, Roger, Lenore and Gareth. 
Lyn won't let grass grow under her feet and with National Arbor Week (30th August  -  5th September) fast approaching, her first port of call was to get hold of her local councillor Tim Trulock, who is very active in the Parks (that's short for Parkhurst, Parkview, Parktown, Parkwood) who remarked that "everyone plants trees. Maybe look at putting protection around the trunks of existing trees."
And so an environmental seed is germinating, and Lyn would love to hear your thoughts.

Tutty's Story laced with rugby anecdotes, Rotary Ann's July Club 100 winners, Countdown to the Clem Sunter fundraiser, Vocational Service Award nominations and grateful blanket recipients.....

 From the Pen of the President....


The relaxation of some of the Covid lockdown regulations is most welcome and will allow us to restock our wine and beer supplies. It will also allow us to consider having another in-person Rotary meeting soon.  The freezing weather we have had will have made the recipients of the blankets we distributed thankful to have some means of warmth.   A big thank you to all members who assisted in the blanket drive and distribution.  Keep up your efforts in getting friends, family and associates to participate in our Clem Sunter event.

Last Friday, Tutty's Story.....


This Saturday, the 24th of July, as the Springboks were facing the British & Irish Lions, Tutty Faber would have watched the game with a touch of nostalgia as he remembered his personal encounter with the Lions 59 years ago, nearly to the day. He had been  chosen to be part of the 1962 Northern Universities 1st rugby team to play against this formidable team, a game they drew 6 - 6.


Tutty, proudly showing us his Northern Universities Rugby jersey.


It was because of this anniversary date that Tutty was keen to share his life story with us last Friday.

He was born and bred in Linksfield,  Johannesburg at the bottom of the Ridge. He only ever knew his father in a wheelchair, but despite his disability he was a mine manager and then went on to running a successful construction company, which Tutty was destined to join one day.
He was schooled at King Edward School (KES) from 1947 - 1957, and  was a sporting all-rounder.
He played 1st team rugby, 1st team cricket and was part of the 1st athletics team (he was crowned shotput champion), but Tutty obviously also had a good voice because he was awarded the leading part in an operetta staged by the school.
He managed to  fail his first year varsity due to his extensive extra-curricular activities like learning how to fly, but then managed to balance his civil engineering studies and his rugby career, although he admits that he had dreams of being part of the 1963 Springbok tour to New Zealand which sadly did not materialize.
He did however manage to play both rugby and cricket in the year he spent at Stanford University USA doing his MSc in construction . His beloved dad passed away while he was at Stanford, but the family made the decision that he should not return home but complete his tour of the States.
On his return he joined the family business and in 1965 he married Julie, the girl that he had taken to his matric dance. In 1966 they had a daughter followed by two sons. 
In 2002 he retired from his chosen career, mainly because most of his construction work had been generated by the mines, which had slowly petered out.
He joined the Rotary Club of Orange Grove in 1975 and over the years served on numerous district committees and was awarded a Paul Harris + 2 by his old club, which eventually was incorporated into the Rotary Club of Rosebank 
His rugby coaching career began with a rugby clinic at Wanderers in the same year  and in 1982 he started coaching rugby at his alma mater KES. It was three afternoons a week and on Saturdays and after 39 years he will finally be hanging up his rugby boots at the end of this year. 
He is a passionate Old Boy and has served on the School Governing Body and even has a rugby field name after him.
Tutty is very proud of his 8 grandchildren, particularly his namesake, who captained the 1st rugby team at St.Stithians and matriculated with 7 distinctions in 2018. As they say in the Classics: the apple does not fall far from the tree.
Every free minute that Tutty has he will head out to their much loved farm, close to the Botswana border which has been in their family since 1953. 
Tutty told his story with his quiet sense of humour and deep humility and would it not have been fun to be a fly on the wall at the Faber household on Saturday evening to hear his running commentary of the Springbok/Lions game.

Vocational Service Award Nominations....


In 2020 we were unfortunately unable to honour worthy recipients with the annual Vocational Service Awards, but with the gradual easing of lockdown restrictions we are hoping that it will be possible to have a proper ceremony at the end of September.
We are still accepting nominations until the end of  July. Please forward your motivation to Lyn Collocott.

A Business Meeting, A Plea to support the Clem Sunter Fundraiser and Rosebank assists in mobilising people....

From the Pen of our President.....


We are thankful that the level of rioting and looting appears to be diminishing, particularly in Gauteng. Let us hope that this is indicative of the state gaining an adequate level of control of the country. The impact of what has taken place will be felt for a long time, particularly with regard to rebuilding the infrastructure, replacing equipment and restocking stores. There are already reports of shortages of food, essential supplies and medication impacting the elderly and vulnerable members of the community.

We can expect an increase in the calls on Rotary for assistance from various institutions and charities.

It is great that Lyn has taken the chair of the environmental committee and has had a number of members volunteering to join the committee. Similarly, several members have volunteered to join the International committee. This will place our club in a good position to identify suitable projects going forward. The possibility of getting overseas Rotary clubs involved in these projects will be explored, and if successful, should enhance the extent to which these can be financed.

A big thank you to all involved!

A Plea to support our Fundraiser.....


We are hoping to make the upcoming fundraiser a resounding success, but we need the help of all our members to achieve this. 
Ask your family, your friends, your colleagues and work associates to support our endeavours. And besides, listening to Clem Sunter's view on the World is an opportunity not to be missed.

Last Friday....



Our business meeting was well attended by our local members as well as those from across the oceans.
Juanette Mc Crindle proudly shared her magnificent gifts she had received from the Rotary Foundation in honour of her becoming a Major Donor.
A truly well deserved accolade.

Report backs in brief:

  • President Costa presented the final Club Goals for the 2021/22 Rotary year and you may read them at your leisure on the right hand side of The Ramble
  • Club Treasurer John Symons reported back that the annual Rotary subs are now due and the Board had agreed to keep the sum at R2 000 for the year. 
  • The Board also agreed to donate R10 000 to Rotary International and a further R5 000 to Polio Plus.
  • R5 000 had been donated to the Club by Mark Franklin's previous employer Millstream in his memory.
  • Pam Donaldson reported back that our club attendance had dipped to an average of 19 members for the month of June, but had increased somewhat in the last 2 weeks. In future the committee chairs will send through meeting minutes to her, so that she can record committee meeting attendance. She urges everyone to let her know of any other make-ups.
  • David Bradshaw lamented the loss of two members at the end of the past Rotary year, but thankfully we had made up the loss by inducting Sheldon Rampanapasi and Roger Wedlake. He is also in discussion with a few potential applicants and is confident that we will meet our target of 5 new members.
  • In his role as club almoner he attended the funeral of PDG Peter Margolius last week.



James Byrne and our exchange student Momo, who had both contracted Covid were thankfully on the road to recovery.
  • Richard Maloney has taken over the International Chair and is still in the process of establishing his committee, and so far Lorenzo and Mike Lamb have put up their hands to join his team. A suggestion was made for Richard to possibly rekindle our relationship with the the UK based Rotary Club of Hatfield who had been involved in past club projects. With Lorenzo and Mike's extensive network they should make a formidable team.
  • Due to the ongoing Covid restrictions the Youth committee is experiencing a bit of a lull, but Jean Bernardo was happy to report that Marianne Soal was very enthusiastic about getting involved with the Highlands North Boys High School Interact Club, and she has some exciting ideas up her sleeve.
  • The Senior Youth Leadership course has been put on ice this year, but District RYLA is planning  a three day inter-country conference with Germany in October.
  • Les Short was happy to report on behalf of Foundation that the two district grants reports had been submitted and accepted. Jeannette Horner did however make us aware that the sewing project is ongoing and that the ladies are in need of an industrial sewing machine.
  • The Community and Vocational Services committee are still accepting nominations for the Vocational Awards until the end of July and are hoping that the lockdown restrictions will have been lifted so that they are able to have a physical award ceremony at the end of September.
  • The committee is still trying to establish a sustainable and worthy project to get their teeth into, but they will continue to support the White Cane project, the Norwood Spar Christmas hamper collection, Blanket Drive and Charity Begins With Me.  
  •  They have also been approached by various institutions to donate wheelchairs to needy persons. Two wheelchairs went to two worthy recipients as identified by the Refilwe Community Project and 12 year old  cerebral palsy sufferer Tumi Rachuene from Tembisa received Sybille's wheelchair, which she had used when her left leg was encased in an external fixator.                                 


  • The seventh area of focus introduced this year, the environment, has got a champion! Lyn Collocott has agreed to chair the committee and Gareth Hood has put up his hand to join forces with her. He thinks we can learn a lot from the Chinese when it comes to environmental issues. China has vowed to be carbon neutral by the year 2050.  Sybille remains passionate about Ecobricks and thus it will make sense for her to be part of Lyn's team as well.


 This Friday.....


Hot off the press! Tutty has agreed to share his story with us.

Mark Herbert inspires, Blankets warm hearts from Durban Deep to rural KZN, and book your seat for Clem Sunter...

 From the Pen of our President.....

 

At the time of writing this, we are facing a number of instances of violence, looting and destruction. It is of concern to all of us, particularly as the security forces currently seem to have a limited ability of controlling the situation. It is important that we do not let fear take control of us and that we do not exacerbate the concern of many in the community by spreading negative comments and false news.

Rather, we need to have faith and to concentrate on the principles and objectives of Rotary. The beneficiaries of many of our projects and efforts are likely to be more adversely impacted and threatened than we are. So, take care, exercise reasonable safety precautions, and continue making a positive contribution to our community.

I have no doubt that this too shall pass!

Have a great week and keep warm.

Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what happened




Last Friday....


....we had the privilege of spending an hour being inspired by Mark Herbert, a dynamic and creative life coach who assists young people to develop as leaders and guides them to have a positive influence on those around them.
Mark lives in Guildford Surrey with his young family and Marianne Soal's son Joshua had met and worked with him while he lived in the UK. 





Mark's enthusiasm for his chosen career stems from his years as a Secondary School Teacher, working as a Construction Worker, a stint as a Landscape Gardener, from being a Sports Coach to Church Pastor, from Charity Chairman to Leadership Consultant.

It gave him the tools to establish his own company, Leader-full and to publish a book, which is available in hard copy, on Amazon Kindle (UK) and is also being recorded as an audiobook.

In a lucky draw Jerry Bernardo won a hard copy of the book, and maybe if we play our cards right he will allow us to borrow it from him.

Some pearls of wisdom Mark imparted:
  • Every person has a unique thumbprint
  • You alone are responsible for your actions
  • You grow through failure
  • Inspire one person to become a leader
  • Use leadership to serve
  • Do not be afraid to learn from someone who is younger than you.



Blanket Drive Update.....


The collective efforts of the Rotary Club of Rosebank managed to collect a staggering R119 610 towards the 2021 Blanket Drive; granted there was a generous donation of R40 000 from the Bryanston Methodist Church, a further R16 000 from the Bryanston Catholic Church and R19 200 from Rosebank- Initiate Life, but at R80 a blanket it means that this year 1 495 souls will be kept warm.

Because of lockdown conditions we only managed to capture a few blanket hand-overs, but as they say in the classics: every picture tells a story.




The St. Vincent de Paul Society in Kensington also gave the blanket recipients a warm meal.




Charity begins with Me, who have a feeding program for children in the Durban Deep, Krugersdorp made 37 children very happy.




Marilyn Bassin from Boikanyo (the Dion Herson Foundation) has been distributing blankets crocheted by an ex-Rotarian of the Welkom Flamingo Club and towels received from the Humanitarian Centre to a needy community in the Mtunzini KZN district.
Marilyn reported that a truckload of 600 blankets donated by Rotary and Warm the World was shipped into the far-flung parts of South Africa and another load of blankets is going up to Tzaneen this week where they will be distributed by the Choice Trust.
