Upcoming Meeting - Elder Rights Advocacy
Tuesday 6th June
Are you caring for an older member of your family or just in need of information about Aged Care in Victoria ?
Join us for an informative evening with a guest speaker from Elder Rights Advocacy.
Elder Rights Advocacy supports older people, their families and representatives in Victoria address issues related to Commonwealth funded aged care services. Their service is free, independent and confidential.
They believe that older people have a right to express their opinion and receive respect, they believe their job is to listen and support you and your family to identify and advocate for solutions that best respond to your circumstances. Sometimes this may involve them in advocating strongly to an aged care service and challenging them to provide better care.
Meeting in the Upton Room, Box Hill RSL
6pm for 6:15pm start, 16th May 2023
Dinner is available in the RSL Bistro. Please note non-Rotary club members will need to book separately if they wish to have dinner following the meeting.
Bizzi Kidz Care Pack Project
The last few years have been tough for all but especially for our youngest members of society, they have missed out on the most important formative educational and social start to life.
Missing out on 3 and 4 year old kindergarten and having to deal with online learning in their first years of school has given them a less than optimal start to their education.
Rotary Box Hill Burwood saw an opportunity to put a smile on the faces of children in Prep, Grade 1 and Grade 2 at some of our local primary schools who had missed out but also an opportunity to encourage them to care for our planet and so we created the Bizzi Kidz Environmental Care Pack which was distributed to over 350 primary school children aged between 5 and 8. We were also able to provide schools with over 85 free plants to improve their environment.
Each kit contained
- 12 pack of coloured pencils
- seed packet
- terracotta pot
- craft activity kit
- Environmental activity book
- seed growth chart
- and other items
We thank our sponsors, members and supporters for helping us make a difference
Children's Ward Murals Project - Box Hill Hospital
Despite the Covid pandemic thwarting our ability to raise much needed funds for our local community, Rotary Box Hill Burwood has been able to support the brightening of the walls of the Children's Ward of Eastern Health's Box Hill Hospital.
In 2021 we started the process of contracting a group of talented local artists to make a difference to the environment and lives of the young patients and staff by painting vibrant murals on the walls of the ward . The project was to be funded by our Annual Whitehorse Art Show in 2021 but Covid stepped in to cancel the show, however despite the hiccup we were still able to ensure this project went ahead.
Although the project is still being completed we are already receiving such incredible comments from staff , patients and families. We look forward to seeing the completed mural and know this will bring years of joy to all.
