It was great to hear from Craig and Jan Rogasch last week, who gave an amazing presentation about  the Rotary Youth Driver Awareness (RYDA) Program.

It is very important that we make every effort to support this opportunity to reinforce driver awareness amongst our younger members of our community. This program will certainly address this with the assistance of schools and police and the local driver instructors on Lower Eyre Peninsula. Having contacted some likely sponsors in Port Lincoln, we are very hopeful that we will have the enthusiasm to get this program fully prepared for Colin West to proceed with, during his term of office in 2010/11

As I write this piece this week I am staying at Nyroca under the Wardenship of Malcolm Schluter and his redoubtable Roslyn, with a few other adults including John and Louise Clements from Mawson Lakes Rotary Club (formerly members of RC of Pt Augusta) and Greg and Karen Patterson. Along with Jackie we are all members of the D9500 Youth exchange committee and are hosting the current inbound students at Nyroca for their annual surfing weekend.

It is great to be with these young people and share their experience of another part of Australia, learning new and exciting things. For quite a few years now our club and the Pt Augusta Club have been sharing some of the cost for this venture to happen for the students. It’s certainly very rewarding for all the participants.

This week we have committee meetings, and amongst all the other issues you might be considering, I ask you all to think about assisting with the instigation of the RYDA program and offer your services to John Myers and Neville Will, RYDA Coordinator to get this project off the ground.

Of the things we think, say or do:

Is it fair to all concerned?
Will it build goodwill and better friendships?
Will it be beneficial to all concerned?

For food, faith and fellowship and every opportunity of service we give you thanks O’Lord.
