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 by Kerry Kornhauser
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.

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.
