A very concise and informative presentation by Sarah Wilson from Interchange Outer East last Wed night in front of 16 members and 3 guests. The meeting was chaired by Peter and the vote of thanks given by Ben who has a special working interest in this area of the NDIS. Sarah highlighted how her group is a non profit that provides disability support services particularly focusing on Families and how they can best support the whole family particularly the parents and siblings and provide a holistic family focus by concentrating on trust and fun.
Again a huge thanks must go to Jeanette, for cooking and serving up a delicious meal. And whilst thanking people, a huge thanks goes to Alan who took over the Presidents role whilst I was away for the past 7 weeks. Thanks, Alan.

We have had notification from Romac that the patient that our club has agreed to host, Serah Bursaie from Vanuatu who is a 14yo suffering with a soft swelling in her left knee has received visas for herself & sister to come to Melb for medical treatment . This is likely to occur in the next three months, and her treatment is most likely to be at St Vincents Private Hospital in Melb. We now need a number of Rotary members to agree to host Serah & her sister for a few days, and to assist in transport to and from her medical appointments. Please consider this request, as it is truely life changing for the recipient.
