President's Report
Hi all,
Last week we had an in-depth round table discussion about the Artisans Market since its inception. Jeanette has done a great job in getting it off the ground, and it was great the hear from other members on what has worked well, and where we can improve.
Following the round table, we had a forum on Youth Homelessness, led by Martha and Brian. This is an ever increasing issue on our doorstep, and listening to strategies to engage with high schools on this issue was inspiring.
Tackling this head on and having conversations early, is considered a strategic approach to enable preventative action.
This week there is a visit by the District Governor Emma Clarke, hosted by the Rotary Club of Lilydale at the Eastwood Gol Club on the 11th of August. Following this on the 12th we will be having our monthly board meeting at the Wandin North Bendigo Bank board room.
Yours in Rotary,
Tim

John and his foster mother Mary will be arriving in Melbourne from Vanuatu on 8th of August.
They will initially be home hosted in Yarrambat until we arrive home.
John’s 1st appointment with his surgeon will be on 12th August with a follow up on 19th August.
At this time, we should get an idea of the schedule for the treatment of his club foot.
We are very grateful to Warwick Bisley, who has kindly offered to assist as he lives very close to St Vincents hospital.
We will keep you informed of Johns progress.

These two grant outlines were submitted to our district for consideration. It is planned to conduct a forum at the club meeting on 5 August in order to flesh the WYHO outline into a full grant application.
Youth homelessness in the outer east is often hidden, with young people couch-surfing or sleeping rough across semirural areas like Wandin, Lilydale, and Warburton.
WYHO proposes localized early intervention and prevention operating directly in the Yarra Ranges, focussing on a ‘dropin’ hub.
By partnering with existing regional networks, the program would provide on-the-ground assessment and mental health support.
This project has developed from Wandin’s leadership in the District 9815 Safe Communities Program.
Project Name: Primary School English and Rotary Speech Competition
We seek a grant to partially fund a regional primary school public speaking program which directly addresses Victorian Curriculum Level 5 and 6 English standards by teaching students how to plan, rehearse, and deliver presentations using varied vocal tones, language features, and non-verbal strategies, focussing on the annual Wandin Rotary Speech Contest.
We aim to assist the transition of classroom work into real-world civic engagement. The project embeds professional Toastmasters coaching in the 6 outereastern Primary Schools, culminating in a live showcase evaluated against the Rotary Four-Way Test.
