The month of October has been a very busy one in D9400, with a loaded calendar of events. The month started with a very successful virtual ICC RYLA that included participants from D9210, D9400 and our partners in Germany and Switzerland. Two weeks later, the RC Brits-Hartbeespoort hosted a well-attended and successful physical RYLA in Hartbeespoort. The International Day of the Girl Child (11^th October) served to highlight RI President Shekhar’s initiative for Empowering Girls, and the Initiative’s Assistant Ambassadors for each of the 4 countries in our District were at work, under the leadership of their coordinator, DGE Koekie, and the Initiative’s Ambassador for Region 28, IPDG Annemarie. Not to forget that October was also Breast Cancer Awareness month, and pink ribbons adorned everything. Our newest satellite club (Rotary Club of Pretoria West Satellite club UHURU), chartered only in September, is already working hard on its project on childhood cancers at the Dr George Mukhari Academic Hospital in Pretoria. Rotarians across the District celebrated World Polio Day (24^th October), Rotary’s highlight for the month of October.....
