The Glenferrie Rotarian July 18th 2022 (Jul 18, 2022)

President's Message

Posted by Teresa Liu

Mrs Beryl Vesely, a darling friend of mine, gave me a special gift to commemorate my Rotary Presidenc

y last week. It is a Rotary International 75^thAnniversary Commemorative Plate 1905 –1980 which she bought in August 1979 through Rotary Croydon. The gift came to me with a letter from the Rotary Club of Croydon. It was titled to Mr B. J. Vesely rather than Mrs B. J. Vesely. Until 1989, a woman couldn't be a Rotarian then and wasn't entitled to be called Mrs even as the partner (wife) a of Rotarian. What a special gift to me. It has carried the glory of Rotary as a service organisation for 118 years. Moreover, it made me think, where is Rotary going in the new era?

Colleen D'Offay - Mentor Match

Posted by Mark Ellis

At the last general meeting, we were fortunate to be addressed by Ms Colleen D’Offay about the exciting relatively new Mentor Watch. Collen is a member of RC Brighton and until recently was Head of Client Success – Public and Enterprise Service at Ascender, Melbourne. She is now involved in this exciting adventure. The original guest speaker Domenic Saporito couldn’t appear since his children have covid and even though he was negative our President couldn’t allow our members one bit of anxiety in a possible infection with COVID, so we were lucky to have Collen to step in on one day’s notice.

Rotary Working With Youth Mental First Aid

Rotary Central Melbourne, Rotary Brighton North in District 9800 and Rotary Hampton in District 9810, have hosted four Youth Mental Health First Aid courses designed to train adults to assist young people experiencing a mental health crisis situation and/or in the early stages of mental health problems.

Mental illness is common in the Australian community, and young people are at the highest risk. Statistics show that 15.4% of people aged between 16 and 24 in any one-year experience anxiety disorders; 12.7% substance abuse; 6.3% depression; and 26.4% across all mental illness.

Jennifer Jones - President Rotary International

During her one-year term, Jones will focus on building new relationships and establishing collaborations with organizations that share Rotary’s commitment to driving impact through humanitarian service and to developing leaders around the globe.

"What did the janitor say when he jumped out of the closet?" "Supplies!"
"Have you heard about the chocolate record player? It sounds pretty sweet."
"What did the ocean say to the beach?" "Nothing, it just waved."
"Why do seagulls fly over the ocean?" "Because if they flew over the bay, we'd call them bagels."

Julie Dwyer

Second Bite

SecondBite began in 2005 with one couple – Ian and Simone Carson. Gathering a committed group of friends, they would visit market stalls in Melbourne at the end of a day, collect surplus food, and drop it to a local charity that ran a food program. In 2011, Coles and SecondBite formed a national partnership, which led to a rapid expansion of our organisation’s operational scale and reach.

Julie Dwyer is the new head of marketing and communications at SecondBite and came to know the organisation after doing regular volunteer market collections with her family several years ago. Julie has worked in marketing, communications and stakeholder management roles across the health, NPO, education and manufacturing sectors.
