BBQ at Nara Park As we have done in years past, we plan to have a BBQ in Nara Park as a fellowship event. Last year Howard and Carol organised the venue for us, ensuring we had a decorated table and shade.. both essentials for a comfortable event. They have offered to do the same again this year. Thank you. This follows our very successful evening at Natalie and Jeff's earlier this week, where we were treated to wonderful food, a delightful venue and great company. We couldn't have asked for a better introduction to the continuation of our Rotary year 2018-2019. For the BBQ, you will need to bring friends and family and more practically, BBQ food or cold food - depending on whether there are any restrictions due to the weather, chairs, hats, sun screen, drink and good cheer! Hope to see you there Regards Michele |

The young people actively engage in the Our Place Foyer-like program which integrates, accommodation, full-time education and or training and employment support, and personal development for up to 2 years.

Ian Mclean AM, CSC Hi All, Ian will forward information when he can re the topic and focus of his talk, but as I am sure you are all well aware, he has so many aspects of his career and interests that he may draw on for this talk, that it is not for me to try to guess where he will take us in his presentation. Wait and See According to the Canberra Times, 3 October 2018, the wonderful Music at Midday was started in 1993 by Major Ian McLean, who at that time was the band's then officer commanding /music director, as a way for it to move beyond its military and ceremonial functions in order to heighten engagement with the people of Canberra. Ian may speak about this period of his life or focus more on current live music activites... or his life in the Military. It will be a great session! |

Amanda Heal and Guide Dog Sadie - Sadie will be in attendance
Location: Macquarie (ACT)
Bio: Born at 26 weeks and weighing just 1 pound 9 ounces (less than 1kg), abnormal blood vessels grew on Amanda Heal’s retinas as a result of Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP), a disease that occurs in premature babies, which resulted in her becoming blind. Her twin sister did not survive.
Growing up in Canberra, Amanda was one of the first vision impaired students to be fully integrated into a mainstream school, where she excelled at her studies before going on to attend university to complete a law and commerce degree.
Working for 17 years as a lawyer most recently as a legislative drafter, Amanda, who has received services from Guide Dogs since 1978, bravely changed her career path and is now a certified speaker, teacher, trainer and life coach, specialising in assisting those who are working in jobs they don’t like or facing redundancy.
In 1989 at the end of her first year of university studies, Amanda received her first Guide Dog, Gypsy. “I felt like I had been set free when I began walking with a Guide Dog,” she said. “I was able to walk like every other person at the same pace and feel uninhibited.”
As with Gypsy, Amanda’s subsequent Guide Dogs gave her the freedom of mobility to maintain her independence with confidence. Sadie, Amanda’s current Guide Dog is also a perfect match for her personality and her active and busy lifestyle.
A public relations and motivational Speaker for Guide Dogs NSW/ACT, Amanda takes part in training seminars for trains, buses and taxi drivers, trainee nurses and other service sectors as well as various campaigns and media events.
Along with industry talks, Amanda and Sadie frequently visit schools, clubs, seniors and other community groups to talk about Amanda’s experience with vision issues, how she manages her life, living with a Guide Dog and the many different ways anyone with impaired vision can be assisted by the organisation to live an active and independent life.
