Last Thursday afternoon we were invited to attend the Kawana Waters State College Interact Club planning session to talk with their members and share what our clubs have been up to. It was a great experience meeting fellow young Rotarians and a big thank you to Anne and the College for inviting us :)
Later that evening we welcomed guest speaker Vicki Stewart from Mooloolaba Rotary to our fortnightly meeting to talk about the annual Lift the Lid Walk for Mental Health movement that she started over a decade ago. She shared with our members the story behind the walk; how it has grown into the event it is today, and how all money raised from the event goes straight back into mental health research funding to help support those in need. She also shared some shocking statistics and observations about youth mental health in Australia that led to discussions in the room about the importance of mental health support. Thank you Vicki for coming along to chat with us :)
Finally, on Saturday afternoon we joined Mooloolaba Rotary with managing the car parking at the Immanuel Lutheran College Fruehlingfest.
