Since 2021, Rotary Central Melbourne has supported the Rotary Inner Melbourne Emergency Relief Network (RIMERN) by donating $1,000 towards operating expenses, members and friends regularly volunteering at the RIMERN warehouse and members and friends donating household goods. As a result of the collective efforts of 16 Rotary clubs, RIMERN helped almost 800 people during 2022/23 to furnish social housing after those people experienced homelessness, domestic violence, incarceration and foreign conflict. We would like to thank Annet Brouwer, Paul Fowler, Herb & Leoni Greenwood, Ignacio Inchausti, Rebecca John, Steve Turner, Rhys Williams and Zhang Yanpu for volunteering at the warehouse and Nicole Lebbos and Peter Duras donating goods to the warehouse so far this year. We also thank in advance Alan Seale for the cutting boards and coffee tables that he has promised to make. Our next working bee at the RIMERN warehouse is planned for Saturday 30th September. |
Our guest speaker for the Tuesday, 5 September meeting will be Jeffrey Pang on the topic 'Hearing and Brain Health'.
