Next Week
Meeting is at Manor Court Werribee
5 Hogan Grove, Werribee
Guest Speaker
Sarah Norton - Level Crossing Removal Project.
Senior Stakeholder Relations & Communications Adviser
Three or four weeks ago, the Level Crossing Removal Authority, released their preferred and non preferred recommendations, for the removal of the three Wyndham Level Crossings.
The authority is in the public consultation phase, and are considering public input about the recommended options.
This is a great opportunity to listen to the rationale behind each option, and to impart our Werribee knowledge including possible better options.
The night is a partner & guest night. If you havent put your name on the list, let Ross Smith know - 0418 692 329 so we can get catering right.
During the night, Werribee Rotary will be making a donation of $20,000 to Manor Court Chairman Emily Keogh, towards the replacement of furniture in the $400,000 upgraded memory support unit.
Tours are available after the meeting.
Last Week Guest Speaker
Peter Cullen - Reclink Australia
Peter spoke passionately about the project he foundered 29 years ago - Reclink.
Reclink uses Australian Rules football as a conduit for disadvantaged people. Reclink uses team sports to assist the disadvantaged to break out of the cycle of drugs and alcohol, and provide opportunities.
More than 65,000 people in Australia each year attempt self harm or suicide. 71% of participants reported a better outcome as a result of being involved in Reclink programs. The program is running in India with 5 staff.
