Tammy Richie is a remarkable woman whose story is a powerful reminder about what we are truly capable of as human beings. Way back, she was told that as a woman she couldn't become an Airforce Maintenance Engineer... well, no prizes for guessing: that is exactly what she did for 17 years, before becoming an internationally renowned speaker. |

Vandy Kamara spoke to us last year, when he was a candidate for the Rotary Peace Fellowship program. His main job is with Wesley Mission where he works with homeless people in the Northern Territory. But equally important, Vandy runs his own, personal charity to provide schooling to underprivileged children in his native Sierra Leone, a country with a population of some 7 Million in West Africa. Like many countries in the region, Sierra Leone suffered from Civil War, major health issues including Polio. |

This Sunday: Inaugural Repair Shop and Tool Library at the Project Shed Our Repair Shop is a free event where our volunteer menders and fixers invite the community to bring along their broken household items for repair. The owner of the item is encouraged to join in and together we endeavour to make a repair. This has many benefits including encouraging social connections in the community, as well as transferring the skills and knowledge of repair, which can often be an intergenerational sharing as frequently it is the older generation who has the experience in repairing items. We will also have an extensive range of refurbished bicycles for sale. We will also trial a Tool Library. For example: Need a drill for a weekend? We'll have a licensed electrician who volunteers and he is the only repairer who touches 240V items.

Our hyperactive President Charles, in a parallel universe, is a partner in one of the nationwide Financial Adviser networks, Wilsons Advisory. Originally scheduled in March for '100 days of the Joe Biden Presidency', this had to be postponed. He will now give us his insights on how the stockmarket, both world wide as well as domestically, is faring under the new POTUS [no, Henrietta. POTUS stands for 'President of the United States'... Ed. ☺] |
