ANNOUNCEMENTS, REPORTS
President Dave Lance
President Dave Lance welcomed members and guests, thanking Rotary Club Bali Seminyak’s President, Patrick van Kampen for joining our meeting, with a RCBS team!
President Dave informed all those present that the club’s Board of Directors had met prior to the weekly meeting, for their monthly board meeting. He then requested the Chairman of Community Services, Karl-Heinz Schmelzer to update all members, as to the current status of the club’s various projects.
Karl-Heinz
Karl-Heinz then informed as follows:
- Bali Clean & Green Project
- HIV /Aids Project
- Shelter Box Project
A Memorandum of Understanding has been signed with the Sawangun Banjar Leurah for the Pilot Waste Management Project, which is being managed by RCBND together with the ROLE Foundation and it is expected that garbage collection treatment will commence within 30 days.
A first educational session was held with the banjar residents on August 28, 2011 to reinforce the need for proper garbage removal and disposal.
If this pilot project is successful we are hopeful that the project can be extended to include a further banjar in the Nusa Dua area.
To date this project has focussed on mid wives training programs in the Nusa Dua and Tanjong Benoa area, working together with the area Puskemas. The board has approved the expansion of this project to the Klungkung area, where a similar amount of funds, some Rp 14 million will be invested in mid wife training for twelve months.
In mid 2010 the club purchased 3 Shelter Boxes, which were put in service on Mentawi Island (near Padang) to assist earthquake victims in the area. The board has approved the purchase of a further 3 Shelter Boxes on an annual basis for two years, so as ensure there availability for possible future disaster relief.
PP Jo Rosarius
Jo Rosarius then informed as follows:
- Cleft Lip Project
- Emergency Operation for Mifta (boy with facial deformity)
- Member Dues Rotary Year 2011 /2012
While the current Cleft Lip Project has seen a slowdown vs. prior projects with 67 operations to date. Jo informed the meeting that the total operations sponsored by the club now total 1,241 since 1994. We are also going to be facing an increase in the cost per operation from Sanglah Hospital but that he (Jo) is still negotiating with the hospital in this matter.
The club has still not received an invoice from Sanglah Hospital for the third operation, which was an emergency operation performed without our knowledge or approval. The hospital has been informed in writing that no further operations are to be performed without the prior approval of the club.
We will also seek assistance from the original referrer of this case to RCBND, Mr. Michael Tuddenham, in seeking contributions toward the total costs.
Dr. Reno has been requested to follow up with the doctors who have performed these operations at Sanglah Hospital to see if the results are now satisfactory or will further treatments be required.
As Treasurer of RCBND, Jo reminded some 50% of annual dues were now overdue for the Rotary Year July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012, as follows:
District Dues Rp. 240,000,-
