Hello Daybreakers, This week our guest speaker was Geraldine Edar-Ralph talking to us about Alternative to Schoolies. Hard to believe we haven’t had an update from her for three years. Her latest project is to accommodate for children who live too far away from school to travel daily. They have purchased two blocks of land, one for a vegetable patch and the other for the accommodation house. Last years team built up to the first level, an amazing effort in the heat, with very basic tools and materials. This years team will carry on the work, and I hope that our club will be able to offer some financial assistance, as I see it as a win all round. It is such a great project for our secondary school graduates to be involved in, it gives them a whole new perspective on battles that many face in their day to day life, giving them greater appreciation for how lucky we are in South West Victoria. Committees are meeting in the coming week outside of our regular Wednesday morning meeting, to discuss their plans for the coming year, I hope everyone is able to attend. If you are not able to attend, please give your ideas and opinions to the committee director as your contribution is valuable and very much appreciated. I am looking forward to some interesting reports over the next few weeks. Cheers, Jan |  |
