INFORMATION & TO BOOK
Many years ago the Rotary Club of Footscray donated six standard roses to the original Footscray Hospital in Eleanor St.
Prior to relocating to the new site on the corner of Ballarat and Geelong Roads these roses were thoughtfully returned to a number of club members. The plaque reads "Planted, nuurtured and cheished by staff and community, now carefully relocated so its legacy may live on".
This is a very generous and thoughful gesture by the managemet of Western Health.
The speaker for at our first meeting for the year was Ms Aruna Venkatachalm, Head of Impact Education at Local Impact Melbourne. She spoke about about supporting community organisations in the western suburbs. She has a background in supporting social enterprises in India and First Nations communities.
The aim of Local Impact in the west is to facilitate connections, education and providing support to community organisations.
Recently Local Impact conducted research with 35 local community organisations.......
Our two returning Youth Exchange Students spoke about their experiences in Czechia. Eloise was in Czechia for a year and Gemma’s exchange was for three months.
They both experienced school life, living with a local family, trying to learn the language and customs around special times such as Easter and Christmas.
