Happy 18th birthday Haru (our exchange student)
Tony Jacobs spoke of, and asked for support, for the grant partnership with Yea & District Memorial Hospital, as notified in email recently circulated, to set up a permanent clinic at Yea Sale Yards to enable health checks to be carried out while farmers are attending the sales. It is planned to apply for a grant through Elders for $20,000 and for the club to assist the hospital on a 50/50 basis for cost difference. Shire will support by providing connections to utilities and amenities.
Rotary Club of Yea members agreed to provide a letter of support to the Yea Hospital in their application for the grant.

• An environmental sample of the cVDPV (circulating Vaccine-Derived Polio Vi-rus) was detected in Lae, PNG, on 11 March. With a similar sample testing pos-itive in Indonesia last year, it shows how close the polio virus is to Australia. This variant of the polio virus occurs in countries where there is pressure on the health system through low immunity rates and reinforces the need to continue vaccinating all children against a range of diseases.
Youth Services — Chris Kellett.
Youth Exchange—we are now in our final term before Haru returns home on the 9th July, and have received confirmation that our next exchange student, a 16 year old girl from Chile, is due to arrive in July. We are currently looking for host families to assist with this exchange. We are in discussion with the local schools and will ad-vertise on local facebook pages hoping to attract support.
Julie, a short term exchange student from Taiwan is due to arrive later this year, and will be hosted by Nakaiah, who had to opportunity for a short term exchange to Tai-wan.
Youth Exchange—Paul Kellett, counsellor for Andrew, our outbound student in Germany, has had positive reports from Andrew, who is currently on the Euro Tour, which sounds like great fun!
Paul also spoke of the serious need for host families if we wish to continue with our student exchange program.
