2021 Footy Trivia night
Posted by Sam McCurdy:
 
We had a great turnout on Wednesday night for our annual Football Trivia night, which was conducted via ZOOM.  Over 20 members and guests attended, with most wearing their favourite team colours.
 
 
Funno did a terrific job organising football trivia questions, (some with a massive point allocation), into quarters that were symbolic of an actual AFL football match.  The footy questions were punctuated with general trivia questions derived from his notorious collection of Carlton Draught stubby caps.
 
One of the tricky trivia questions from the stubby caps involved the meaning of the word “osculation”, which we found out is the human act of “kissing”.  Its not a very romantic alternative and who would ever use that word?
 
PP Isobel was the ZOOM host and expertly divided the participants into four competing groups (Rooms).  Questions were posted in printed form by sharing the screen with the four rooms.
 
Due to Funno’s generous scoring system and diverse questions, he managed to split the four teams into two high scoring expert groups and two “Wooden spooners”.
 
Thank you Funno and Isobel for all your good work in organising the event. It is fair to say that a fun night was had by all the participants.
 
Go Dees!
 
Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA)
Posted by Sam McCurdy:
A RYLA event is being organised and run as a joint program between District 9810 and 9820 at Rawson Village in West Gippsland from 17th – 22nd January 2022.
 
RYLA is an intensive 6-day leadership experience sponsored by Rotary clubs to build skills and develop young leaders of tomorrow, while having fun and making meaningful connections.
 
Participants aged 18 – 30 can connect with leaders in our community and learn valuable skills through this program by:
  • Building communication and problem-solving strategies
  • Discovering strategies for becoming dynamic leaders in the community
  • Learning from community leaders, inspirational speakers, and peer mentors
  • Unlocking their potential to turn motivation into action
  • Having fun and forming lasting friendships as well as connections
  • Experiencing professional development and gaining opportunities to serve the community through Rotary and Rotaract
Clubs can become involved by sponsoring a participant and or program leader. Sponsoring a participant will give the club a simple way to focus on developing young leaders, create sustainable change, and aid in the creation of service-minded global citizens.
 
Applications made for the program prior to 31st October will be invoiced an early bird sponsorship fee of $949 for participants and $650 for leaders. After that date, fees will be $1049 and $750 respectively.
 
Applications are currently open online and can be accessed through the District website at: youth.rotary9820.org.au/ryla
