Hi All,
On behalf of President Deborah and the Caloundra Mens Shed just wanted to pass on some great news - we put in an application to the Gambling Community Benefit Fund in September for a grant of $25,775.00 to purchase a suitable shed for the Mens Shed Club to build to set up their operation - we have just had a phone call from Jarrod Bliejie to say that our application was successful - great news.
More to follow.
Regards,
Alan
Good work Alan
now if only we could find some keen workers able to actually construct the shed…..

Speaker
Deborah introduced Vicki Stewart to speak about Australian Rotary Health (ARH)
Vicki has been a member of RC Mooloolaba for 14 years - classification Real Estate. She is a PP and had a background with Street Angels. She approached the ARH tent at Conference and said she was “happy to help”. The rest is history.

ARH was launched by RC Mornington in 1987, and they raised $2.2million that year to fund research into cot death. To date $33m has been raised. There were 187 cot deaths per year in Australia in 1987. Last year it was down to eight.
The current priority is mental health. Vicki gave some examples which were very “close to home”. We need to get the conversation going. This is an illness due to a chemical imbalance and we need to see it in the same light as other illnesses.

Vicki made a comparison to Clem Renouf’s 1956 stand against polio.
Vicki highlighted the deaths and self harm to young people and the lack of support to returned soldiers. More East Timor veterans were lost to suicide than all those killed in Vietnam. Police and Fire & Rescue officers have similar problems.
The government matches funds raised $ for $
