Rotary International President-elect Ian H.S. Riseley made the case that protecting the environment and curbing climate change are essential to Rotary’s goal of sustainable service.
Riseley, a member of the Rotary Club of Sandringham, Victoria, Australia, unveiled the 2017-18 presidential theme, Rotary: Making a Difference, to incoming district governors at Rotary’s International Assembly in San Diego, California, USA.
Environmental degradation and global climate change are serious threats to everyone, Riseley said. “They are having a disproportionate impact on those who are most vulnerable, those to whom Rotary has the greatest responsibility. Yet environmental issues rarely register on the Rotary agenda,” he said.
Environmental degradation is one of the major threats listed by the UN’s High-level Panel on Threats, Challenges, and Change.
Riseley added, “The time is long past when environmental sustainability can be dismissed as not Rotary’s concern. It is, and must be, everyone’s concern.”
The president-elect challenged every Rotary club to make a difference by planting a tree for each of its members between the start of the Rotary year on 1 July and Earth Day on 22 April 2018. Trees remove carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from the air, which slows global warming.
“It is my hope that the result of that effort will be far greater than the environmental benefit that those 1.2 million new trees will bring,” Riseley said. “I believe the greater result will be a Rotary that recognizes our responsibility not only to the people on our planet, but to the planet itself.”

Rotary Club Malta members largest single club participants at the CIP Meeting
Nine members from Rotary Club Malta attended the CIP Fellowship meeting held at Bra Italy between the 8th and 11th September 2016. As usual our club’s attendance was the largest single club in number of participants attending the weekend. The meeting is a fellowship reunion between Italian,Swiss,Liechtenstein and Maltese Rotarians and wives. Many of the participants attending are repeaters and the languages spoken during the weekend are Italian and English.
We were lodged at Albergo Cantina Ascheri in Bra, which is located over a winery on the ground floor and lower cellars. We were hosted to a visit by the owner of the Cantina Ascheri, producing Barolo, Barbaresco and Gavi wines.Christina Ascheri, who is the hotel owner and a Rotarian,was also chairman of the hosting committee.
Bra and the surrounding cities are connected with the growing of vines and the production of quality wines.A highlight of our visit was the visit to the Cantina of Fontanafredda which is the largest winery in Italy producing a vast selection of quality wines.We were then dined on the winery grounds in the evening at their five star restaurant.
The topic of the speakers on the Saturday morning meeting was food, water and climate of the area we visited. All very interesting subjects that had our full attention. Next year’s meeting will be held in the Puglia area in Italy between the 21st and 24th September 2017, and new participants from the three Maltese Rotary clubs will be most welcome to attend.

Work is well underway for a new school in Nkose Island in Lake Victoria, Uganda.

The Spinola Bay Magic
Over the weekend of the 17th to the 19th October, the Malta Rotary Golf Fellowship entertained a group of Sicilian Rotarians, wives and friends at the Royal Malta Golf Club.
The Fellowship now boasts 18 members (14 from Rotary Club Malta, 3 from La Vallette and 1 from Gozo). In addition, close family are eligible to play and that increases our numbers by a further 5 if everyone was available. One of these "guests" is J.J. Micallef, Ulli Salomo's stepson, whose golf handicap is some 30 shots better than the average Rotarian!
On the Friday, a Fun Team event was narrowly won by Ulli Salomo, Marlyse Cremers and JJ, from Ian DeCesare, Fillipo Alessi and Phil Stevenson.
On Saturday, a pairs competition was once again won by JJ who carried Ulli superbly! In close support were 2 Sicilians and the Frank Salt/Ian De Cesare combo.
Sunday was a singles event and 2 Sicilians both played well below their handicap to give them easy victories.
At the Sunday prize giving (at which President Alfred did the honours) all 18 golfers present managed to win a prize by some administrative sleight of hand by Phil Stevenson.
The overall winners of the competition, who won the Stanley Sullivan 100 year old golf club, were Ulli Salomo and JJ. The runners up were John Miller and Phil Stevenson.
The next events for the Fellowship are at Donnafugata on November 29 th and at Verdura on 11th - 14th April.
Our thanks to Phil Stevenson and Ian de Cesare for all the good work in organising this ever growing event.
We learn to be dramatic before we learn to use language. Being human is the ability to see and play otherness. Empathy and relational skills are the ability to put oneself in another’s shoes, and see another’s perspective. That is drama! Thus healthy human beings who can engage in empathy and relationships are dramatic beings.
Dramatherapy draws on theater skills such as role play, improvisation, imagination, masks and story work to facilitate developmental growth, and emotional and social healing.
Dramatherapy is defined by the UK Health and Care Professions Council as a form of psychotherapy in which creativity, play, movement, voice, storytelling, dramatisation and the performance arts have a central position within the therapeutic relationship.
Here's a short clip about dramatherapy that could support the communication: http://vimeo.com/107326813
