What a wonderful meeting at Rotary Club Berwick this week.We were joined by many of our friends from both Casey and Narre Warren Rotary Clubs. We were fortunate to hear from Stuart Yates, a key leader in the Disabled Surfer’s Association, Bass Coast. We heard about the terrific work they do with those who deal with a range of disabilities. His presentation was well supported by commentary from young Jamie Fullaway, who volunteers with the group.
Members from all 3 clubs wholeheartedly agree that we should do more of these group nights and I’m sure all that were there agree. For those who couldn’t make it, I want to share a couple of important things that we shared.
Firstly we have agreed to participate in Mock Interviews for Nossall High School again this year. Interviews are scheduled for Thursday 2 May and Friday 3 May. There are 4 sessions that we are going to participate in, 9.30am to 10.45am and 11.30am to 1.00pm each day. For the interviews to run smoothly and to meet goals we are looking for 10 people to be part of each session.
I’ve put a table into this note and if you can make it, please put your name and availability into the table and send to Di Scheepers at di.scheepers@gmail.com

There is an old adage that sounds like this…..If you want to do something, say yes within 5 seconds, and then the only thing that needs to occupy your mind is how to arrange things to make it happen. I encourage you to say yes quickly and then just arrange yourself.
I have participated in these Mock Interviews every year since joining the club and I find it most rewarding and satisfying being able to positively impact a young person’s life.
This Friday Night, Gus is attending the Casey Community Awards on the Club’s behalf as we have been nominated for a Community Award. I would love to have joined him on your behalf as well but I’m out at the airport picking my son up at the time the ceremony is being held. More to come I suspect.
Paul from Casey Rotary told us about an upcoming event they are working on, The Holland Festival

Cheryl, President of RC Narre Warren, reminded us that they will be catering the ANZAC Day Dawn Service at Bunjil Place and will need our help.
Next week, Sadiya from Casey Council will join us in sharing the story of multiculturalism in the City Of Casey. This aligns with Harmony Day, and reflecting on how we stack up will be good. I just want to let everyone know that Sadiya will be observing Ramadan, so we will modify our agenda to join her for her evening meal after 7:30.
Have a terrific weekend all.
