This Weeks Speaker - David Smyth

Dr David Smyth - Voilence Free Families


This weeks speaker is Dr. David Smyth who is chairman of the organisation Voilence Free Families. It was formed in December 2009 by a group of long-term community activists and professionals in the field of family violence prevention. They are supported by a committee of about 14 members, drawn from the three Brighton (Victoria) Rotary Clubs, aided by several non Rotarian supporters.

Computers for Mibbinbah Indigenous Mens Group

Computers for Mibbinbah Indigenous Mens Group



In very good news RCAP has secured 50 computers with software for the Mibbinbah Indigenous Mens Group. The cost to the club is about $25 per machine for software licensing – so that is an excellent outcome.

The mens group is delighted and they are going to Kuranda, Herberton, Mount Isa, in North Queensland, Croydon Victoria, and Tamworth in NSW, Darwin, Port Augusta and Perth. These communities are very keen to be involved with the community project.

It is expected that it will be an ongoing project for 2011/2012.

Wool Donation


Pictured Mary Kingsbury for the Kilbride Centre greatfully accepting a donation of fashion wool from the Rotary Club of Albert Park. It is intended that this wool is to be used by the young female asylum seekers currently awaiting status. They will be able to make fashion garments for sale at the up and coming fete. The fete is expected to be held in Oct 2011. Our club have also donated several pattern books from our Book Store to assist with this project as well.

Last Weeks Speaker - Paul Zappa

 

Last week we had the pleasure of hearing Paul who is closely involved in the "Be the Hero" program. Be the Hero! is a violence prevention program designed for use in groups of young men. Be the Hero! was developed and trialed by the Victorian Women's Trust and found to be effective with  mainstream groups of boys in years 9 and 10.



Wheelchairs for Cambodia
by John Roberts


Vocational team member John Roberts, with Wayne Slattery of the 'Wheelchairs for Cambodia' program were at the handover at DIK in Sunshine.
Wayne has arranged for the chairs to go to Cambodia via Qantas. They will be allocated to disabled children who have lost legs through land mine explosions.
These kids are presently only mobile because they can drag themselves along the ground on their hands or arms.
"This will absolutely change the live of 5 children in Cambodia. They will now be mobile enough to attend school and develop real independence" Wayne said after the handover.
He sincerely thanked the Rotary Club of Albert Park for their efforts and hoped that more assistance might eventuate when he has another "free" freight arrangement in place.
June is Rotary Fellowship Month

JUNE - ROTARY FELLOWSHIP MONTH  

  • Share a common interest in worthwhile recreational activities (sports, hobbies, etc.);
  • Further  vocational development through acquaintance with others of the same profession;
  • Make new friends around the world;
  • Explore new opportunities for service; and
  • Have fun and enhance their experience in Rotary.
    What are the benefits for Rotarians in joining the Rotary Fellowships? Fellowship provide opportunities for Rotarians to make lasting friendships outside their own Club, District or country. Fellowships contribute to the advancement of world understanding and peace. Also, Fellowships serve as an incentive for attracting new members to Rotary and retaining our existing members. Indeed, Rotary Fellowship, together with the Rotarian Action Groups, serve as an effective tool in promoting membership development and should be actively promoted in our Districts.

Members of the Scuba Diving Rotary Fellowship show their club banner underwater.

Interested Rotarians can join a Rotary Fellowship by clicking http://www.rotary.org/programs/fellowships/index.html or even start a prospective Rotary Fellowship if their recreational or vocational interest is not in the list of approved Rotary Fellowships.
