Throughout the past 18 months there has been much discussion about Mental Health issues arising from the Covid virus pandemic, however there has been little discussion from the media about how to fix it .
Readers may not be aware that October was "National Mental Health Month " and that Rotary in Australia conducts a " Lift the Lid on mental health " day
as an awareness and fundraiser.
But did you know that Rotary has been addressing this infliction for nearly 40 years through its Australian Rotary Health organisation, supported by Rotary Districts and Clubs throughout Australia.
Let me tell you about the Australian Rotary Health organisation and its work and the LIFT THE LID Program.
Did anybody watch the Paralympics on TV these past weeks ? It was inspiring to see how people with disabilities strived to perform and overcome that disability just to compete and be among others with similar disability. It was good to hear that Medalists will now be given a financial benefit. Maybe it might help cover their ongoing expenses.
But the focus of this story is Daniel Michel, Boccia champion . You probably have read his story, if not you will find it at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Michel
Reference Wikipedia Congratulations Daniel , a job well done. Lets hope you continue with your selected sport and pursue your dreams .
Over the past 18 Months Engadine Rotary has intermittently conducted our meetings and business via Zoom.
So, it followed with the current virus restrictions that our 2021-2022 President Joy Pogson was inducted via Zoom.
Normally the induction of the new president is a formal event however the Members of Engadine Rotary, warmly welcomed Joy and endorsed her election.
Recently, Engadine Rotary club members established some raised garden plots for the SYLVANVALE group home at Barden Ridge.
For many years, the Rotary Club of Engadine has provided much needed support to Sylvanvale and this project continues that association.
The raised garden plots have enabled the group home residents to grown their own vegetables and provide a theraputic outlet for them.
The following photos shows some of the stages of the project
