NOVEMBER IS ROTARY FOCUS ON THE ROTARY FOUNDATION
The Rotary Foundation transforms your gifts into service projects that change lives both close to home and around the world. Since it was founded more than 100 years ago, the Foundation has spent more than $4 billion on life-changing, sustainable projects. With your help, we can make lives better in your community and around the world.

STOP DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
Domestic violence has no place in any home, relationship, or community. Every person deserves to feel safe, respected, and valued. 💔
If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse, know that help is available. Speaking up can save lives. Together, we must stand against violence and create a world where everyone feels secure and supported. 🤝❤️
Break the silence, offer support, and let’s work towards ending domestic violence for good. Share this message to spread awareness and empower change.
BREAKFAST LUNCH AND DINNER PROGRAM
Southern Mitchell Rotary is now supporting local schools with their breakfast lunch and dinner programs, feeding those children that don’t quite get enough at home and ensuring that they feel a part of the school without going hungry.
Schools currently participating are: Wallan Primary, Kilmore Primary, Broadford Secondary & Wallan Secondary.
SCHOOL WELL-BEING WAGONS
Southern Mitchell Rotary has introduced what we call Well-Being Wagons. They are like a little garden wagon that is filled with activities such as colouring pencils, books, jigsaws, games, balls etc. These are now in two of our local primary schools; - Beveridge Primary and Kilmore Primary, two wagons for each school, age based, so the first will be based for ages 5 to 8 and the second 9 till 12. These will be utilised during playtime and lunchtime for those children that find themselves sitting alone with no friends etc.
SCHOOL WELL-BEING WAGONS - BEVERIDGE PRIMARY SCHOOL
Southern Mitchell Rotary were thrilled to deliver two Wellbeing Wagon full of activities to Beveridge Primary School today (Fri Nov 1).
We were greeted by Miss Allwell (what a fabulous name for a Wellbeing Coordinator!) and students Zane & Virginia. Also pictured is Janet Bell, who is soon to be our newest Rotarian.
It was the pavement chalks that proved the biggest hit!
It certainly was great to hear the students’ excitement…
- Giant Jenga! - Wow - Lego!
These Well-being Wagons are a direct result of the hard work of the Rotary Volunteer Team at our Kilmore

SCHOOL WELL-BEING WAGONS - KILMORE PRIMARY SCHOOL
Recently, Rotarians Rose King and Ian Dempsey presented the Kilmore Primary School with 2 Well-Being Wagons full of fun games and activities. Vice principal, Julie Smith, and a number of students happily received the Wagons and soon had them stored away ready for use at recesses and lunch breaks.

COLLECT TO PROTECT
At a recent Get-Together, we all became involved sorting lids and bread tags for our Collect To Protect project, which is all about environmental recycling. A fun night with fun friends - a bit like playing with Lego. Did you know that when your plastic milk bottle is recycled, the cap isn’t? It pops off and goes to landfill!
