President's Christmas Greetings
It is said that the most precious gift you can give is time. When you give your time, you give something of yourself, a piece of your life to someone else. Time in the service to others is what Rotarians know as ‘service above self’.
During the last 6 months, our members have been busy serving our community in so many ways. We encourage local young people to be the best they can, assist those overseas, nationally and in our own streets.
We care about spreading the message of Peace which is a theme of Christmas, peace to all. Every member of this club serves others in one way or another
We wish everyone, members, friends and families a happy and safe Christmas and New Year.
President Marion Fielke
Back to School Backpacks & Toiletries for the Homeless

All items will be distributed by Hackham West Community Centre to their clientele.

More Christmas Cheer
After a number of forced cancellations of the Hackham West Community Centre's Christmas celebrations, we were once again able to participate.
Pictured is the man of the moment, making sure the public is aware of who is doing the catering!
Bunnings Christmas Market
 
At the recent Bunnings "Christmas Market" we were able to promote our Club, sell some beanies, give away Reindeer Dust and demonstrate the art of pyrography.
Highlight was a visit by Santa (courtesy of @Noarlunga-Morphett Vale Lions Club)

Meeting Notes 124
AGM 7 December 2022       Rotary Club of Morphett Vale
We are 6 months in to our 2022-2023 year. Our members have been active in ‘Imagining’ our place in our community. More has been planned for 2023. Now is the time to see if we are ‘on track’ with our reason for being here.
Our mission
We provide service to others, promote integrity, and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through our fellowship of business, professional, and community leaders.
Vision statement
Together, we see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change — across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.
We are people of action
We connect passionate people with diverse perspectives to exchange ideas, forge lifelong friendships, and, above all, take action to change the world.
We are opportunity makers
Rotary members look for opportunities to improve our communities today and invest in the next generation for tomorrow.
We are problem solvers
Together, we apply our professional experience and personal commitment to tackle our communities’ most persistent problems, finding new, effective ways to enhance health, stability, and prosperity across the globe.
As a club
Are we making the best use of our resources? Are we changing ourselves to be better people?
Are we making a difference? How are we assisting our communities within our areas of focus?
Our recent Information evening successfully shared our activities amongst the public and the local government election candidates.
We are now Silver partners with the South Adelaide Football Club and both organisations will win from this partnership.
The new Rotary Hall kitchen raises many new possibilities also adding to the existing facilities.
Our interactions with schools, whether raising a peace pole or presenting awards give us opportunities to reach out to a large group of locals. Our BBQs and market stalls also raise our public profile. Social outings give members an opportunity to continue our friendships as well as strengthen partnerships, such as with the RSL and Members of Parliament.
Each of our Directors have worked tirelessly in their areas of expertise during the last 6 months. More is to come during the coming months as our new PE Tracy prepares for changeover in June 2023.
Share your expertise, an active team member reaps the benefits of an active club.
