ROTARY YOUTH DRIVER AWARENESS

 

The last Rotary Youth Driver Awareness (RYDA) program to be delivered by the combined Rotary Clubs of Noosa Shire.
Students from Sunshine Beach High School attended the one-day education program for youth delivered locally by the Rotary Clubs of Cooroy, Noosa and Noosa Heads. RYDA provided young people with the skills and strategies they need to stay safe on the roads and the students experience highly engaging practical demonstrations, real-life narratives, videos, quizzes and role play.
This video shows the danger of driving only 10 KPH over the speed limit - the stopping distance doubled!

For more information on our youth programs contact our youth director Carol Email

Rotary Polio Eradication Project

 

The Polio Eradication campaign, started by Nambour Rotarian Clem Renouf in 1978, has reduced infections by 99% so the task is not yet finished. This is the kind of work your support of our fundraising activities makes possible, reaching children in areas where health care is limited and the challenges are greatest.

 

Rotary leaders recently visited Pakistan and met with government officials, who reaffirmed their commitment to polio eradication. The delegation included RI President Francesco Arezzo, Trustee Chair Holger Knaack, International PolioPlus Chair Michael K. McGovern, and aide to the president John de Giorgio. They were hosted by Aziz Memon, chair of the Pakistan PolioPlus Committee. 

 

The Last Man in the Iron Lung Polio Paul died 11 March 2024 (aged 78) in Dallas, Texas USA.
