Our Speaker on July 14
 
Bruce Hewett
From CEO to Novelist
 
Bruce Hewett spoke to us about writing and  publishing his debut novel - a pharmacrime novel set in Fiji entitled 
 
CRY IN YOUR SLEEP.
 
Why Write a Book?
 
In Bruce Hewett’s words:
 
“………. each book in each of its formats has a unique ISBN or International Standard Book Number.
I figured that one day I will no longer exist on this planet, however, my ISBN will live on, and maybe somewhere, sometime in the future, someone will re-discover my novel Cry In Your Sleep. Writing the story then became a "bucket list" project culminating in the publication on Amazon. “
 
 
 
Bruce’s book is self-published via Amazon and you can read the blurb and/or buy a copy at

INTERNATIONAL
 
from Bob Allardyce
 
Rotary Overseas Recycled Playgrounds (RORP) has now harvested 98 playgrounds (PGs) in Victoria since the start of the program by RC Flemington Kensington over 5 years ago. #100 should be harvested this month – there’s a race to see which RC and which RORP gets the honours! 
The program is still building momentum:
  • 20 in 2019
  • Only 8 in 2020 due to COVID
  • 34 so far in 2021 with at least another 11 scheduled so far to end of the year
Since RC Nunawading took on the program for Districts 9810, 9800 and 9790 ,
we have been involved directly in harvesting 8 PGs in Whitehorse and (our first) one in Knox.  
 We have overseen the harvest of 6 others in both 9810 and 9790.  RORP.9810 works closely with RORP.9780 and RORP.9820.
