Do you ever get the feeling that you are part of something good?I’m getting that feeling a lot, especially since coming back from our festive season’s break.
We’ve ventured down some interesting pathways over the last month or so as we’ve focussed on the importance of all round diversity and inclusion, in particular leaning into International Women’s Day, Harmony Day, the work being done in the City Of Casey in support of Multi-Culturalism and this week pausing to listen to a group of young up and comers who demonstrated tremendous courage and pride as they participated in a panel discussion covering a range of topics and finally presenting on a topic of their choice.
I’m sure everyone in attendance were blown away by the insights shared by Emily, Lara, Nathan, Ethan & Jamie and like me, I hope you took that shared intelligence away, packaged it up and reflected on what exactly we all learned about how technology impacts youths daily, the enormous importance that is being placed on the environment, and how clever and sometimes misunderstood the youth of today are.
Thanks goes out to Michelle & Sheldon as well as Diana & David for giving us free for all access to their kids. I reckon we should circle back with them later and check in again.
If there are some more topics that sit under the banner of Inclusion & Diversity I’m sure Michelle Oliver–Rodrigues & Diana Gomez-Fulloway would love to hear from you. The ladies are really making good things happen with our meeting topics and guests.
Next week we are fortunate to have Tony Spring from Rotarians Against Malaria come along and share his messages.

Anzac Day 25 April – We’ll help Rotary Club Narre Warren with the Dawn Service catering at Bunjil Place
