President's Message

International Day of Peace, 21 September, was established in 1981 by the United Nations General Assembly and designated a period of non-violence and cease-fire. Four decades later, in 2022, the UN is reporting at least 12 million people have fled their homes in Ukraine due to the war with Russia. An estimated 5 million people – primarily women, children and the elderly – have fled Ukraine for neighbouring countries, with 7 million people displaced inside Ukraine. As of 12 September 2022, close to 1.4 million individuals have registered for Temporary Protection in Poland: the highest number among the EU countries. All are in dire need of emergency aid.

Larissa Reinboth - Children First Foundation
Last Tuesday night’s guest speaker was Larissa Reinboth, Partnerships Development Manager, Children First Foundation (CFF), who provided a highly professional explanation of the remarkable medical work done by this not-for-profit organisation.
 
Larissa’s own life journey was revelatory and impressive, starting with a successful career in consulting and sales in such diverse locations as Peru and Germany. However, she had a lifelong interest in volunteering which she had done since she was 17, in such challenging locations as Kenya, Peru, Romania and Bolivia.

Volunteers Needed for a RIMERN Collection
RIMERN has suddenly been advised of the opportunity to clear out the households (bedding, TVs kitchen goods, coffee tables and lounges and chairs) from Mount Aitken Conference Centre, which is now in receivership. RIMERN needs volunteers to assist removing these goods from the Centre to the RIMERN Warehouse on 32-34 Lincoln Street, East Brunswick, VIC 3057. RIMERN has rented a large van to collect large household items but there are sufficient ‘small’ items involved with this job – lamps, kettles, TVs etc. that could be handled in smaller vehicles rather than the truck.

RIMERN Homemaker Voucher Vino
After its successful Van Rouge campaign, RIMERN is embarking on a new campaign - marketing quality wines towards funding a new delivery van to streamline operations.
 
The new campaign will reward RIMERN clients by providing photos of the donated goods in situ, in their new homes, and on RIMERN social media. This activity promotes RIMERN's services and demonstrates to clients, volunteers and donors (stakeholders), the quality of the goods available: a positive and inspiring image.
 
It’s Spring: time for a new life and a new beginning.
The new RIMERN wine promotion is called “Homemaker Voucher Vino”. Again, it will offer quality wines at a special cost. Funds raised will contribute to the Rewards scheme for the RIMERN clients who participate in the social media campaign. Funds will also contribute to the much-needed delivery van.

Have a Captain Cook
A look, a brief inspection. In apparent honor of the first Brit to map eastern Australia, Captain James Cook, who skippered the HMB Endeavour. After landing at Botany Bay, he sailed on past Sydney Harbour. He had a Captain Cook (a look) and liked it.

What's the John Dory?
John Dory is a fish found in Sydney Harbour and it's great grilled with lemon and pepper or deep-fried. It also rhymes with story. So, when people want to know what's going on, or they're requesting the "goss" (gossip), they ask what the John Dory is.
ROTARIANS LIVE BY THE FOUR WAY TEST
 
Is it the Truth?
 
Is it Fair to all concerned?
 
Will it build Goodwill and Better Friendships?
 
Will it be Beneficial to all concerned?

Second Bite
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.
