Business Breakfasts Our Business Breakfasts are very
popular with everyone from a wide range of
business attendees to our local secondary
school students. The Breakfasts raise
funds for both local and overseas
projects that we support.
Please join us at the next one.
Fighting Polio The fight to end polio will receive an
additional US$43.6 million boost from Rotary
in support of polio immunization activities.
The eradication initiative focuses on stopping
polio in the three countries where the virus
remains endemic: Afghanistan, Nigeria,
and Pakistan.
Safe House East Timor Violence against women is a significant
problem in Timor-Leste (East Timor).
Our club supports the project that has
built a safe house for women to provide refuge
and support to those at threat. I houses 60 women
and trains then in skils that will aid them
to become independent.
Bill Gates The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
work with Rotary to eradicate Polio world wide.
The foundation is a key supporter of the GPEI,
which is spearheaded by national governments,
the World Health Organization (WHO),
Rotary International and
the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Cyber Health Forum Our Cyber Health Forum brought together local
people interested in preventing Cyber Bullying

Santa Sacks for Backpacks4Kids
After a quick dinner (thank you Corinne) all Club members were able
to lend a hand in a production line completing Santa sacks. These Santa
sacks will be used by Backpacks 4 VIC Kids when they distribute Christmas
gifts to children in out-of-home care. Last year they required 4000 Santa
sacks, so it is a great idea to be working on this early in the year. It was
wonderful to be joined by DG Alma too..

Our first Hybrid Zoom Meeting
End Trachoma - Thanks to the power of Zoom, our speaker this week
gave a very eye-opening presentation while sitting in her home in Darwin.
This was also the chance to try a hybrid meeting, with several Club members
joining by zoom as well.Trachoma is due to repeated bacterial infections
which causes scarring, eye lashes turning in and a painful pathway to
complete, irreversible loss of vision..

Lions Club visit
We were joined by the members of the Wantirna Lions Club, who
shared with us some of their projects, both local and overseas.
These included: • Supporting needy school students in Sri Lanka
by providing wheel-chairs and used laptops. This is in conjunction
with a local Lions Club in the area. • Providing scholarships for
12 years of schooling for children who be-came orphans after the
tsunami. It was heartwarming that many of these students kept in
touch even when they got to University • Refurbishing the
playground at Dominion House, which is a safe house for women and
children who are escaping abusive relation-ships • Taking part in
the ‘1,2,3 read to me’ program by sorting 60,000 books that were
donated by a publisher to go into underprivileged schools. •
Participating in the ‘Share the Joy’ project by providing hampers
for the needy • Donating hams to the Salvation Army for their
Christmas hampers.
We are a vibrant community based volunteer service club and welcome visitors at our weekly club meetings. If you'd like to come and join us for dinner one evening please feel most welcome! Please contact
