another good result (see page 2). And thank you again to Mer-
chant Beaumaris for donating the flowers.
In my last report I failed to comment Gabe Denemark who
came to speak to us about the NBN which was reported on
fully by IN GEAR. My lack of comment in no way reflects a
lack of interest in, or appreciation of, Gabe's presentation
which was yet another jewel in the Speaker program Gail An-
derson has arranged for us.

Daffodil Day Stall Outcome

Thank you to all who volunteered and worked on the stall
last weekend. And especially to Ken for moving the items
to and from storage for us.
Fortunately, the weather was kind to us.
We raised $ 2,441.35 for the Cancer Council.
Although a little lower than last year it was still a good re-
sult.

Indian Opportunity Number Two:
We invite you, your club members and families to join us
in India in Feb. 2020, to participate in a Water Conserva-
tion project: the construction of a check-dam at the edge
of the Thar Desert.
Note: Your club’s contribution to the project costs is not
required, as it will be funded by a Global Grant from the
Rotary Foundation, with generous DDF participation from
RI Districts in Australia and USA.
Benefits
for hands-on work on multiple projects in India. We have
changed the lives of thousands of villagers. Our Lives, too,
have been changed forever - by the warm welcome and
rich traditions of the people of India that reveal ancient,
abiding, universal Truths.
For those with a time constraint, one of the trip options
includes only the Project section. For others who would
like to explore more of the magic of India, a combination of
extension tours is available before and after the project.
The extension tours have been carefully crafted to present
not only the fabled Art & Architecture of ancient India but
also the Living Cultures of India today.

Check-dams, once built, require little or no mainte-
nance or recurring costs. Each year, the Dam will trap
monsoon rainwater which otherwise flows away without
benefitting the local people. The retained water will trickle
down through the Earth’s layers to raise the Groundwater
table in this area over the next few months: well in-time to
boost crop production over a ten sq.km radius from the
very next year - and for many decades ahead!
With one Masterstroke, this mega-project will strike at the
core of social deprivation to provide:
Sustainable Incomes
Sanitation & Health
Education & Equal Opportunity
For Rotarians and their families, this project will provide a
unique opportunity to:
Please share the attached document with all the members
of your club!
Those who wish to join the project – please email the
Trip Application before
Sep. 15, 2019 to
inbound@hipoints.com.
The Trip Application form is provided on the last two pag-
es of the attached document (see below).
We look forward to working with you on this fun project!
Documentation has been circulated along with
a prior In Gear.

Discover Incredible India

Connect the World
Make a Difference
Be the Inspiration for local communities

Centuries of failed crops had crushed the Will of the

local people to participate in projects for the general
good of their communities. Since 2010, Rotarians from
around the world have joined us on these projects to help
the local people for a few days in the construction these
dams. Our hands-on participation, as well as the success
of these projects, is changing this defeatist perception.

Many Rotarians have enjoyed these projects, and the con-

nect with India, so much that they come year after year.
Nearly twenty years ago, when I traveled to India for the
very first time to immunize children against polio, I found a
part of my soul in Incredible India! Each year since then, I
have led these teams of Rotarians from all over the world
