Matters in the interest of Rotary

 

 

EVERYONE CAN DO THIS by Anne Josefesberg

Our speaker tonight, Sue Ellson, came to discuss an expert's view about artificial intelligence. However, this was not the main element of the presentation.

Sue was exquisite in the way she devised a customised strategy for the Rotary Club of Canterbury to improve its presence on social media. She emphasised that engagement was paramount in establishing and maintaining a successfully used social media website.

One of the more technological references made involved three criteria:
1. data set - for multiple representations over a period of time
2. the use of prompt engineers
3. the fact that there are more versions of AI, than ChatGPT, which are better and more versatile ( for example, accessing Copilot through bing.com

 

The main thrust and takeout points:-
1. the need to inspire people to look at social media
2. the use of specific and very basic strategies ( updating the website but not removing items, liking posts, using voice communication where possible for shortcuts)
We can ALL do this. It is just a matter of having a go and being an active participant in social media.

 

Along with our sister club Woodend and RC Bendigo a number of members travelled to Axedale to attend a working bee, weeding, painting, wood chopping and stacking were among the tasks performed admirably by Ted, Rosemary, Val, Cathie, Doug, Jill, Michael (Kew), Joe and his wife Lesley, Lili-Ann and Tony.

 

A sterling effort and I am sure there were a number who still felt it a few days later!

 

Thanks to Elizabeth for the photos and the short blurb

 

Around 30 Yr 10 and 11 students had fun, made new friends, were challenged to solve problems, set goals and determine their values at DOXA camp at Malmesbury. Our club sponsored Theo Cowley and Melissa Merlo. DG Ron Payne came to the BBQ lunch, spoke to the students and presented them with their certificates

A huge thank you to Rob and Karin for driving them up on Friday afternoon
