Helping Out

We were thrilled that our fundraising efforts meant that we could provide some much-needed help to five very worthy causes: Hope Street, Dadirri Counselling Services, Lift the Lid on Mental Illness and Fight Parkinson's. A great group of people who are touched by Parkinson's came to share a very interesting evening where we heard about how our donations would help.

Australia Day

Next year we'll be celebrating again at The Willows. Australians are a diverse and welcoming community and we are excited to meet our new citizens.

Charity Golf Day

Next year we'll be running around the Melton Valley Golf Course again, raising money for our community and having fun while we do it. Thanks to the local businesses, this is our major fundraising effort.

Helping people with disabilities make their own music

Music has been an important part of leading an ordinary life for students at the Music School for Children With Disabilities in Honor of Paul Harris in Lublin, Poland. Founded by Rotary members, the school serves 20 students with various disabilities, including Down syndrome, autism, and visual impairments. The Rotary Club of Lublin-Centrum-Maria Curie-Sklodowska has provided funding with help from Rotary Foundation Matching Grants and the Henryk Wieniawski Musical Society, which houses the school.

After their son Mateusz was born with underdeveloped eyes, Mariusz and Joanna Kania looked for ways to help him be active. When he showed an aptitude for music, they looked for a teacher and were thrilled to find the Paul Harris music school.

Finding Safe Haven

For years, Angalia Bianca had slept in abandoned buildings throughout Chicago. She stole. She did drugs. She spent time in and out of jail for forgery, theft, trespassing, and possession of narcotics. But after she landed in prison for the seventh time, something changed -- Bianca knew she wanted a better life. She just didn’t know how to make it happen.

After serving her time, Bianca sought help from a local homeless organization, A Safe Haven, and moved to its shelter in the Rogers Park neighborhood. Bianca followed the program closely -- she attended all the required meetings, passed drug tests, and volunteered at every opportunity.
