All Albert Park Rotarians would have received an email with the attached

Rotary International Public Image e-book.

This e-book was prepared by Albert Park Rotarian Loryn Clark, as a gift to RI, and is being distributed internationally.

 
http://www.rotaryaustralia.org.au/newsletter/

Please click on the link have a look .. some great images and stories.

Click your mouse on the right top corner of the booklet to turn the pages.

We would like to congratulate Loryn for her fine work in the production of this e-book and look forward to reading the articles published.  Well done Loryn.

The first  challenge facing new arrivals in Australia is to find a job.  Another big challenge is to become known in the local community.  These two challenges are connected. It is said that 80% of job vacancies are never advertised and that many jobs are filled through word of mouth or through networking. Networking is talking to people you know about jobs.
New arrivals in Australia don't have any networks, which are so important, especially in getting their first job. This is especially in the case of Asylum Seekers because their families, friends and people they worked with in the past are not in Australia.

In order to help them become better known locally the RCAP has offered to assist asylum seekers associated the  Brigidine Asylum Seekers Project by placing profiles of individual asylum seekers on their web site for their members. It is hoped that some of these members may be able to assist some of you with your job search or perhaps with work experience opportunities in Australian workplaces.
Note: Below profiles may take a little longer than normal to open.

Last Wednesday evening June 2nd, the Rotary Club of Melbourne South made an official visit to our club.  The Rotary Club of Albert Park was chartered in 1992 by The Rotary Club of Melbourne South  and is therefore their "Daughter Club".

A great evening was shared by all members, lots of fun and fellowship with each club gaining an insight into each others projects. We would like to thank the members from The Rotary Club of Melbourne South for attending our club, making it such an enjoyable evening and look forward to when they can join us for another official visit.

The month of June is considered as Rotary Fellowship Month in the
Rotary calendar. There is a misconception among Rotarians on what aspect
of the RI programs is being celebrated for this month of June. Let us clarify
the issue. When we talk about "Rotary Fellowships", we actually refer to the
groups of Rotarians, Rotarian spouses and Rotaractors who join together to:

• Share a common interest in worthwhile recreational activities (sports, hobbies, etc.);
• Further their 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.

Unfortunately last week's speaker Mr Ray Campbell,  National Commodore, Australian Volunteer Coast Guard had to cancel his speaker appointment with the club at the last moment. We will now look forward to Ray being booked in to speak later in the year.

On Sunday 6th June members from the RCAP ran a voluntary BBQ to support "World Enviroment Day" with The Living Trees Project being held at Westgate Park. Although cold it was most interesting listening to the speaker about enviroment issues.

Many thanks to Stan Teschke and his team, Henry & Loretta Michaelsen and Helen Harris.
