Next Meeting September 6th

R U OK?

Kelly, Svet and Ann will be hosting a R U OK event for us all

About R U OK?

R U OK? is a harm prevention charity that encourages people to stay connected and have conversations that can help others through difficult times in their lives

Our work focuses on building the motivation, confidence and skills of the help-giver – the person who can have a meaningful conversation with someone who is struggling with life

R U OK? contributes to suicide prevention efforts by encouraging people to invest more time in their personal relationships and building the capacity of informal support networks – friends, family and colleagues - to be alert to those around them, have a conversation if they identify signs of distress or difficulty and connect someone to appropriate support, long before they're in crisis.

'Ticket to Paradise' Movie night

Start popping the popcorn and start rolling those Jaffas down the isle, it's time for a movie night!

Movie Synopsis:

The film follows Wren Butler, a recent University of Chicago graduate who accompanies her best friend Lily to a post-graduation jaunt to Bali. Lily's abrupt decision to marry a Balinese local triggers her parents to try and stop her from repeating their mistake from 25 years ago. Wren stays in Bali for the engagement/wedding festivities and, in the process, finds her own love with a local doctor.

Starring Julia Roberts and George Clooney, this will surely be an enjoying movie.

Thursday 15th September, 7pm

Tickets are $25

All proceeds go to polio eradication

Membership Moment

This Rotary year, President Jennifer Jones has four presidential initiatives, two of which align with membership development and growth:
•Diversity, equity and Inclusion:
Diversity is one of Rotary's longstanding core values and greatest strengths, but there is more that we can do to ensure our culture exemplifies our values of diversity, equity and inclusion. President Jennifer is asking each of us to do our part to make sure Rotary is welcoming and inclusive.
•Care and comfort:
Surveys show that comfort and care is the single greatest driver of satisfaction and our most powerful tool for retention. This begins with listening to and understanding what members and participants want out of their Rotary involvement.

Brian.
Membership Director
