"HUMANITY IN MOTION" Magazine arrives in Epping
Stop Press : Local Paper reports on Humanity in Motion
Epping Rotarians will commence distributing the new "Humanity in Motion" magazine in the next few weeks to businessess in the Epping area. The magazine showcases what Rotary is and what Rotarians do.
Rotary Clubs in District 9680, which extends from Sydney Harbour to the Central Coast and from the Northern Beaches to the Hills, are involved in a vast amount of humanitarian work and this magazine highlights some of these stories.
Local projects such as the Rotary Club of Epping's "War on Graffiti" (see page 42) and the Rotary Youth Driver Awareness program (RYDA) along with many and varied international projects make for interesting and informative reading.
The magazine is the brainchild of D9680 District Governor Tony Castley, himself a member of Epping Rotary Club.
"We hope you find these stories interesting and informative...You will find Rotarians are ordinary people devoted to their families and their work, while at the same time enjoying the knowledge that they are doing something individually and collectively to make a better World"

The cost of the program is around $700 and this year was funded through a generous grant received from Bendigo Bank at North Epping as part of their Community Grants programme.
