New Member Lyn Fava
President Ian welcomed Past President Lyn Fava back to the club and inducted her to membership.
Pres Ian told members that Lyn had contributed significantly to Werribee Rotary as a member and President, welcomed her back to our club.
 
     
 
We were also joined at the meeting by a couple from Rawalpindi, Pakistan. They were in Australia visiting there daughter in Tarneit.  The husband has been a Rotary member for 30 years, and his wife was a 30 year member of Inner Wheel.
 
 
Pres Ian advised that Charter Member Kevin Thompson passed away last night aged 94 years. Funeral arrangements are not known, so we will need to watch the papers.
 
ShelterBox
We made contact with ShelterBox for an update on how the funds we donated were being used.
The CEO of ShelterBox advised us that the authorities in Turkey had asked for tents and blankets only. The tents and blankets donated by Werribee Rotary have been despatched to the Arsuz Region of Turkey.
 
 
 
 
 
Wyndham Technical School
Pres Ian & Peter Sandlant visited Werribee Technical School recently. The school is next to Vic Uni where Prof Vasso's laboratory is.
 
They were so impressed that a vocational visit is being organised.
 
Lyn Fava
Our newest member Lyn Fava advised that:
 
  • She is working with Reclink to introduce Reflexology into the organisation.
  • That Chris Ochaya's wife Sarah, is running an organisation at Tamarind Uganda, called the Tribe.
  • The ladies of the Tribe are making jewelery to fund programs at Tamarind. Lyn had some samples. It was agreed that we would sell them through the Werribee Rotary Opp Shop, with the proceeds being returned to Tamarind.
