Stories
Last week meeting
Well attended meeting at Cotham Dining in Kew
 
Kyle opened the meeting with the toast and handed over to Pres Tony who gave us the thought for the day.
 
"We make a living by what we get but we make a life by what we give"
 
Presidential matters

From the floor

  • Nora gave feedback on the recent packing event at Camberwell Grammar in conjunction with Presbyterian Ladies College last Friday - approximately 16000 meals packed
Obviously this photo can be misconstrued but it appears that David really was returning his mug... really honestly thats what Rob told the editor!!  Actually he said he returned David to this spot!
 
And on a more serious note here are some of the hard workers

Last Weeks speaker - Anna Andrysyk - Ukraine a civilian update from the frontline
An emotional an insightful presentation from Anna who is here on a short trip with her children and providing details on life in Ukraine present day.
 
Introduced aby David Shave Anna is a history teacher and tour guide from Kyiv where she was born, she and her husband have 2 boys aged 3 and 7. Anna arrived 2 1/2 weeks ago and was taking time to tell her story across Melbourne after her husband was called up to serve - all males between 18 and 560 are required to serve in defence of their homeland. Herr husband is not a professional solider and is in fact and IT Programmer.
 
So what did Anna tell us
Born in Kyiv in 1988 during the time of Perestroika (collapse of the Soviet Union) Anna is 30 % Russian and 70% Ukrainian - her Grandfather was Russian and her mother is 50% Russian. Anna only started speaking Ukrainian at the age of 14. 
 
Anna gained her first diploma in 2009 and the focus was on the published press across the nation. It would surprise all to know that in 2009 97% of the printed press was in Russian - such a short time ago but reflected of the hold they had.
 
She reminded us that we do not call the country The Ukraine as that is the term used to define it as a province of Russia not an independent nation - therefore it is simply called Ukraine.
Anna gave us an idea of what day to day life was like but she commented emotionally on the fact that when the Russin army retreated from around Kyiv in April 2022 they left behind destruction and the horroes of war, scenes which have been observed from war zones across the breadth of time. Humanity's inhumanity to humanity 
 
many questions were asked by the enthralled audience - here are just a few
Q. how do family's cope with the separation - A there is a lot of difficulty these days
Q What's life like in Kyiv. A. constantly waiting or the next siren and missile strike - in May there an average of 26 strikes per night - the closest being 650 meters from her apartment.
Q. you said that 30% of Ukraine is occupied - how much of this includes Crimea? A. sorry but I am not sure
 
Thanks Anna for a heartfelt presentation. Our thoughts will be with you when you return to Ukraine in August stay safe
