Today we welcomed Florence Lee- Gunawan from Love for Australia Charity who runs a food pantry for those in need.
She told us: “It’s more than the items we are giving people. We want them to enter the store and feel loved
Our vision is to see every Australian, especially those going through hardship and tough times, feel loved and care for
We want people know there is support and we are here to support them. “
Club members donated food items to Florence. We also welcomed returning visitors, Rose, Gary, Tamkin and Christene💜

Congratulations to our very own Daisy Ann Gonzalez for being appointed by the Rotary Club International's Rotary Action Group Against Slavery ('RAGAS') board as Ambassador and coordinator for NSW. Their first Ambassador in Australia.
It was a talk about the sheer volunteer of slavery around the world by guest speaker Anna Ruth from Freedom for Humanity that spurred Daisy Ann into action.
She asked what she could do and what Rotary was doing and has joined up with RAGAS. Club members are asked to join too.
A victim of horrific Domestic Violence in the Philippines, Daisy came to Australia with her five children to protect them.
“I am dedicating my life to eradicating human slavery” she said during an impassioned speech.
Sy Lagaaia from RAGAS was our guest speaker who said there are over 40million people in slavery across the globe including forced labour, sexual servitude and forced marriages involving very young girls.
“130 people are trafficked worldwide every hour,” he said.
Our club is spearheading RAGAS … if Rotary can stop Polio is can make a difference to human trafficking.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.Our great friend Rebecca Andrews is organising an evening of jazz at historic Ebenezer church to raise money for more wells in West Papua. Rebecca has been one of our guest speakers and visits our club quite regularly. It would be great to support her.
