Dini, Cheryle, Merilyn and Marion braved the heat on Australia Day to officially hand over an All Terrain Wheelchair for use on Moana Beach. A Grant for the wheelchair was sourced from Amanda Rishworth MP and Amanda praised the work of volunteers in service clubs and Surf Life Saving Associations as they help others in their community.

The specialised all terrain wheelchair can be used to remove injured persons from the surf and beach, transport those with a disability to the water and navigate over rough beaches.

 

With thanks to Roger Foster for the great photo.

 

At  our first meeting in January, members welcomed an overseas visitor, Richard from RC Krefeld [https://krefeld.rotary.de/] in North west Germany near the border with the Netherlands.  Richard is a past Rotary District Governor and is visiting family in Adelaide. Richard and five other guests enjoyed an informative presentation by Kimberley on the Flinders Foundation. https://flindersfoundation.org.au

Working for more than 40 years in our local area to improve patient outcomes, the Flinders Foundation funds research, health initiatives and improves patient care from the youngest in neonatal care to the last in palliative care. The foundation invests millions in cancer research, medical equipment and has developed a child  safety and well being health service facility to support vulnerable, abused and  at-risk children.

We are looking at opportunities to partner with the Flinders Foundation in the future.
