Last Week's Meeting - 23 September 2019
 
 
  • Doug Hawley advised that there are 22 members and friends heading off on Friday week to the Philippines on the Club's eye and ear mission. We wish them safe travels.
  • Jenni Nankervis is encouraging everyone to join in the End Polio Now walk on 19 October. Please contact Jenni for further details. Jenni also mentioned the Alpha 1 walk on Sunday 17 November. Posters have been prepared, t-shirts ordered and registration will be available via Try Booking (details will be provided next week).
  • Lili-Ann is still looking for a volunteer to co-ordinate the District Conference in Bendigo next year. Also the distribution of the donated hampers  is being handled by Ted Waghorne but he needs some assistants.
  • Finally Tony Laycock, the current president Elect, advised that the Board election for the 2020-21 year are coming up in November. Anyone interested in putting their name forward for election to a Board position should speak to either Tony, Neil Williams or President Lili-Ann Kriegler.
 
 
Last Week's Speaker - Anthony Balocca
 
Last Monday, one of our newest members Anthony (Ant) Balocca participated in the Club's regular practice of "member behind the badge".
 
With very good humor Ant responded to a range of questions from John Braine. Some questions were well researched and others were not so much which Ant took in his stride and provided a terrific insight into his life, family, professional experiences and journey from being born overseas to now being in Australia for over 30 years.
 
Thank you Ant for being a great sport and sharing details about your like.
Next Week's Speaker - Cally Berryman
 
 
Inside the dark world of female gambling
 
Dr. Cally Berryman is a counsellor who currently works with clients who have drug, alcohol and gambling and other issues. She has worked in the areas of addiction for over 20 years – as a clinician, counsellor, academic teaching and program development. 
 
Almost 200,000 people in Australia struggle with problem gambling and as more gambling advertising spend is directed at targeting women, female gambling in Australia is on the rise.
 
The Accidental Gambler written by  Dr. Berryman sheds light on the dark world of female problem gambling and how women often use gambling to deal with grief, trauma and unresolved issues. 
 
As well as opening up the conversation about problem gambling, Cally hopes that the book will assist women with gambling problems to understand that they are not alone and that help is available.
 
 
 
Region 8 Video Competition Presentation
 
 
At the recent Governor Training Conference held in Christchurch, New Zealand, all members of District 9800 were very proud to see that the Canterbury RC won the inaugural award for the Zone 8 Video competition. Zone 8 covers Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands. The winning certificate was presented by Gina Growden, Rotary Public Image Coordinator to RC Canterbury representative Janet Hay.
 
Gina highlighted that entries had to illustrate how club members were People of Action during 2019 and were 'being the inspiration'. The videos were to be produced 'in-house' and were to be prepared especially for the competition. Use of correct Rotary branding and innovation and professionalism of production were taking into consideration in selecting the winners.
 
The Canterbury RC video entry was a compilation of the FORaMEAL packing event that was held at the Multi-District Conference earlier this year. The link to see the video is  https://www.dropbox.com/s/zlglrsby0x39ulp/ForAMeal_PackingDay_Edit02_FOR-ROTARY.mp4?dl=0
 
Janet caught up with First Lady Gay Maloney, wife of Rotary International President Mark Maloney and presented her with a Wear the Wattle FORaMEAL pin. You can see Gay proudly her pin.
 
 
Boroondara FORaMEAL
 
 
A terrific day last Tuesday at the Boroondara FORaMEAL event at the Hawthorn Town Hall. There were  90+ secondary school students who packed 33,800 meals. 
 
Rotarians worked so hard, and Swinburne students and Rotaractors were superb supporters. The Boroondara Council were delighted and are keen to do it again in late January at the end of school holidays. Strathcona students assisted Lili-Ann as comperes. There was a  short break for Pizzas for lunch and the students were back into it all. 
 
All was  packed up by 2pm. Tired but very satisfied. Another great event made possible by a great team. 
Boroondara Cares Golf Day - 28 October 2019

Restoring Hope Golf Day
 
Restoring Hope is a Melbourne based charity that helps young people who have been sexually abused.  They are holding a fund raising golf day at the RACV Golf Club in Healsville on the 10 November.  
 
The mission at Restoring Hope is to distribute Crisis Care Packs and Comfort Care Packs to young people who have been abused.  Typically a child would receive these items at a police station or trauma hospital.  The Packs provide new clothes (necessary for when the police remove clothing for forensic testing), toiletries, a blanket, a colouring book, pencils and a “Hope” teddy bear. The aim is to use this simple act to bring some comfort and a sense of normality to a life that has been turned upside down, and restore a sense of dignity and hope at a time when it is needed most. The details about the golf day and how to book are at the Restoring Hope  website at:  http://restoringhope.org.au/
