THANK YOU ROTARY CAROLINE SPRINGS Rotary Caroline Springs
Min Bell and I attended the Rotary Caroline Springs Changeover on the weekend. We were met immediately with a Rotary SAFE Families pull up banner beside the Rotary Caroline Springs banner.

The photographer took photos of all guests in front of the banners. The tables had all our printed resources, the outgoing P Martin Farrugia and incoming President Dr Nivideta Nagarale both mentioned RSF in their speeches.

Guests were reading the booklets and talking about them. Thank you to our dear friend Ronald Moss, who has the role on the Board for Director of Club Learning and Rotary SAFE Families! PP Rotary Caroline Springs, he is passionate in his work with Family Violence and Inclusion, Diversity and Equity. Ronald provides Rotary SAFE Families with a dynamic style and many contacts that are beneficial to our work in diversity for many years now.

Thank you to Robert Taylor and Kylie Farrugia for their promotional support of Rotary SAFE Families. We appreciate the fantastic commitment this Club has in prevention of family abuse/violence.

Annually, approximately one in six (14.8%) older Australians experience some form of elder abuse. Research by the Australian Institute of Family Studies (AIFS) in 2021 found:
โ€ข Psychological abuse is the most common form
โ€ข Followed by financial abuse (data of Seniors Rights Victoria)
โ€ข 53% of perpetrators are family members
โ€ข Coercive and controlling behaviour inc. neglect are abuse
โ€ข Abuse is significantly underreported and often overlooked
โ€ข Only a limited number of elder abuse cases are reflected in formal systems through police reports, criminal charges, or court determinations.

On behalf of Rotary SAFE Families - Building a Culture of Family Peace, I want to thank President Lyn Fava and the wonderful members of Rotary Werribee for their incredibly generous donation of $14,000 to our Towards Respectful Relationships program.

This fantastic contribution will provide Rotary Werribee with the ability to sponsor more schools in their local area, giving young people the opportunity to explore โ€” through the powerful medium of filmmaking โ€” what a respectful, healthy relationship looks like, and how to recognise and prevent abuse.

Rotary Werribee's generosity will have a real and lasting impact on the lives of young people in the community. Together, Rotary SAFE Families and Rotary Club of Werribee are helping to shape a future where respectful relationships are understood, valued, and chosen.

It was a terrific Leadership Meeting online last night with guest speakers and some new faces. We were joined by District 9815 DGE Emma Clark, Gus Rozycki and Stephen Palamara, Rotary Belgrave. There is great interest from D9815 in joining with Rotary SAFE Families and the guests last night provided some very valuable insights to our prevention of family violence program.
There were 5 Rotarians off camera (maybe eating their dinner?) and the team came online from Woodend to Hervey Bay Rotary Clubs along with Hawthorn and Caroline Springs representatives to Vincent in China.
They look a bit sober in the photo but believe me when I say there is much laughter happening too.

It was wonderful to present a workshop today for the Australian Refugee and Family Reunification organisation on Ethical Leadership and Safe Communities. Min Bell and I were welcomed by this large group of African Australians and heard about their mission and the steps they were taking in supporting and empowering refugee families in creating an inclusive, just and compassionate society.
We were fortunate to have the young Mayor of Maribyrnong Cr. Mohamed Semra address us and his story was one of incredible hardship but hard work and courage has seen him achieve his goals here in Australia.
Thank you to Ibrahim Ali and the team at Arfri, and for the beautiful food.
