This week's notes will come as a surprise to President Jenny!
It was a pleasure to have been in the chair for last week's meeting and to hear from PP Sally Willoughby speak with passion about the need to raise awareness and urge action in relation to Domestic Violence. Following the meeting there was a short Board meeting where it was decided to donate $500 toward the cause.
This week is Committee meeting night.

Say NO to Domestic Violence
Sally Willoughby from the Rotary Club of Mobilong presented to our club last Tuesday evening on saying NO to Domestic Violence and the 2024 Walk for Respect. Last year 40 Rotary Clubs from Adelaide and the Country Regions, including three from the Murraylands, walked to help raise awareness. The walk gives a voice to those affected, raises awareness and has been useful in enabling continued conversations. Local government, State and Federal Governments have now become involved with funding to tackle social, cultural and family issues with staff and resources. Domestic Violence is prevelant across society in all socio economic groups, has always been present but hidden. Please join us at the Victoria Square 10am start Saturday 14th September to walk to the Elder Park Rotunda. Register to walk free www.WalkForRespect.au. A peaceful parade, to educate and increase awarness in the South Australian community. Help us make the change. John Scarvelis https://e.MyBookingManager.com/2024-Rotary-Walk-For-Respect
