Tree of JoyA simple and powerful idea, Rotary places a Christmas tree in the local primary schools and at the Roseville Golf Club. The tree is decorated with cards indicating boy or girl and age.

The students, parent, teachers and golfers choose a card from the tree and leave a suitable gift under the tree. The preference is for the gifs to be unwrapped or wrapped in clear cellophane.

You may also see other Trees of Joy in the major shopping centres.

Our club collects the gifts and delivers them to a sorting location in Chatswood. From there the gifts are distributed through a number of local charities to needy families.

The charities supported include: Salvation Army, Centrecare, RNSH – Treasure Chest, Crow’s Nest Community Centre, Sunnyfield, Youth off the Street, Lifeline, Greenwich Hospital.

The Tree of Joy program is a huge success and is very well supported by the schools.Why not reach out yourself and shine a little light in the life of a child in need?

2015 Shore Boys Trip to World MUNA, New York(our club sponored the team in Australia & helped with NY trip funding)

On Sunday 8th November Matt Allan, Nathan Richards, Aaron Smith and Panayiotis Xenos flew to New York to participate in an international Model United Nations forum which was held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, only a 15 minute walk from the United Nations building on the East River. After checking into the hotel on Sunday evening, we ate at a nearby diner, then walked to Times Square and experienced the vibrant razzmatazz of the Big Apple. We finished our first night with a trip to ‘the top of the Rock’, the viewing platform at the top of the Rockefeller Centre, some 80 stories above the streets of the city. This provided us with a 360 degree panorama of the NY skyline – truly breath-taking.

Monday was our sight-seeing day. We caught the subway down-town to Battery Park, then walked back up through the many different neighbourhoods, visiting Wall Street, the World Trade Centre site, Soho, Greenwich Village, Union Square, Midtown and Central Park. Then we headed back to Broadway to see a musical and to soak up some more of the barrage of noise and colour that combines to fascinate and excite the tourists.

World MUNA began on Tuesday morning with a tour of the United Nations Headquarters, followed by the Opening Ceremony which was held in the General Assembly Hall. The Shore team represented the country of China, a member of the UN Security Council, and one of the most powerful nations in the world. Nathan Richards was chosen by the group to give one of twelve opening addresses to the WIMUN General Assembly and he spoke articulately, clearly outlining China’s position in relation to the three resolutions to be debated by the High School Assembly: stability and peace in the Middle East, indigenous rights and management of atomic energy.

During Wednesday and Thursday morning the students were given training in the protocol and methodology of debate for the UN, before the real work began on Thursday afternoon. Then the boys were separated into their discussion groups. Matt and Panayi were teamed together in a Security Council meeting to discuss the volatile situation that has developed and is still unfolding in Yemen.


They worked constructively, preparing a well-constructed statement on China’s position, which Matt outlined concisely and fluently in the two minutes allocated to each country. Later on Panayiotis delivered a press statement which was to be released on the WIMUN Facebook page. Meanwhile, Aaron and Nathan were representing China in larger General Assembly Committees. Aaron spoke persuasively about China’s stance in promoting equal rights for indigenous people, then he contributed well in small group discussion as his group began to prepare a possible resolution to present to the Committee tomorrow. Nathan presented China’s stance on the use of atomic energy and he was fully involved in his discussion subgroup as each of the UN countries represented prepared its own action plan to deal constructively with the effects of atomic radiation.

On Friday the WIMUN groups worked hard to finish their resolutions to present to the Model UN General Assembly. The China delegates began their morning session at 9am, worked till midday, then resumed debate at 1.30pm and worked till 5.30pm. After dinner, each group reconvened to put the final touches on each of their separate resolutions which needed to be finished by the 8pm deadline. Aaron had the difficult task of bringing a tired and somewhat unruly General Assembly committee group of about 60 students to order so as to finish its charter which was to con struct a resolution dealing with equal rights for indigenous minority groups around the world.

Saturday morning was free time before the group reconvened in the United Nations General Assembly Hall for the final speeches and presentations of Diplomacy Awards to those Delegations and individual delegates who were judged to have been of great worth in developing their resolutions. Whilst it was not a competition in the traditional sense, Aaron Smith ought to be congratulated for his remarkable achievement in receiving a Diplomacy Award which highlighted his efforts in negotiating for a resolution acceptable to all of the WIMUN member states.

All four members of the Shore team can be congratulated for the diligent way in which they researched, then presented, China’s stance in relation to its foreign policy to WIMUN.


Walking up to a department store’s fabric counter, the pretty girl said, “I would like to buy this material for my new dress. How much does it cost?”

“Only one kiss per yard,” replied the male clerk with a smirk on his face.

“That’s fine,” said the girl. “I’ll take ten yards.”

With expectation and anticipation written all over his face, the clerk quickly measured out the cloth, wrapped it up, then teasingly held it out.

The girl snapped up the package, pointed to the old man behind her, and smiled, “Grandpa’s gonna pay the bill.”
