CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!
 
A Big Rotary Welcome to you all,
 
Well, it has been another wonderful Rotary week and a great meeting on Wednesday morning. This week we had the privilege of presenting our Australia Day Community Awards to the remaining five awardees, who were unable to attend on Australia Day. It was such an honour to be able to recognise these amazing people, and to be able to celebrate all that they have given to our local and wider community.
 
Peter Akehurst gave a sensational presentation on all things bees, and the importance of their place in the world. Was both fascinating and enjoyable!
No bees…. No food….. and when there is no food…. conflict begins!
So in fact, bees are an entire Conflict Resolution strategy by themselves!
 
A huge congratulations to our beautiful Kaylene Stanford who was awarded this month’s Fellowship Award…… thank you being such an incredible member Kaylene, and thank you for all the work that you do! You truly deserve this special club award.
 
Many thanks to David and Mary-Ann who have got microphones sorted, which were up and running for our meeting. This is to make the zoom experience as good as possible for those attending via zoom, and we will be extending the use of these to help with the volume within the room itself…. so stay tuned…. we think we are about 85% there.
 
Thank you to our February Vocational Theme Team….. great first week….. and what a powerful icebreaker that Carlos presented, thank you! Carlos has sent me a copy of what he presented, so please look for this below. A wonderful reminder for those who were present, and a wonderful insight for those who weren’t able to attend Wednesday’s meeting.
 
Many thanks,
 
Looking forward to seeing you all on Wednesday,
 
Yours in Rotary,
Jeannie

Our Ice Breaker today on Conflict Resolution
 
In each table, one person represented a First Nation the rest white people
  1. White people close their eyes and reflect on the history of how the colonisers saw and treated First Nation people, and the attitude we still have about “them” and believe that this is right, they deserve them. “They” are ………….. And deserve to be treated accordingly.
  2. NOW, for the first time you can “see” them, not as them but as “us”, my brother my sisters.
    When you reflect on the history “we-I” have caused and “see” in your heart the effect caused by our behaviours.
    What moves you to say?

     
This is the compilation of words from the group
 
Reflection
  • How are we Walking the Talk?
  • Is there anyone out there, in my family, friends, work, I’d need to say SORRY to?
The group that visited and performed for us on Australia day are role modelling how to bridge the historical gap of abuse and neglect.
They showed fraternity, inclusion, forgiveness, openness and an invitation to continue our journey “together” as one. There is Hope!
Thank you
