Thank you to those clubs who sent in nominations for the position of DGN, 2014-2015.
Two nominations have been received and so a ballot is required. In alphabetical order, the nominees are :
Olive Geddes of the Rotary Club of Edinburgh
Ken Robertson of the Rotary Club of Cumbernauld
The candidates will make presentations to District Council on Sunday 8th September. The presentations will be filmed and placed on the District website together with transcripts and the candidates' CVs.
Ballot papers will be sent out electronically after the Council meeting. Graham Clarkson of the Rotary Club of South Queensferry has agreed to act as Electoral Officer and the results will be scrutinised by Past District Governors David Buchanan and Bob Christie.
It is difficult to give advice at the minute as regards aid to Syrian Refugees, but Shelterboxes ARE still getting into the refugee camps.
Local village "hosts" are sharing power and water with their new neighbours and the local Muslim Scout Groups are helping to erect tents and lead in water supplies.
ShelterBox is doing what it can, where it can, and any further boxes (or funds) you may wish to donate to this effort would be well received.

I forward this from Mike Parry - the Rotary GB&I International Chairman.
As in all crises, Rotarians ask what Rotary is doing?.
We all know that Rotary is primarily looking at sustainable long term relief but at the same time Rotary recognizes that people also need immediate help.
