Last Week's Zoom Meeting - 7 June 2021

We gathered again via Zoom last Monday, and hopefully this will be the last time that we need to use this very useful technology which is quite as not as good as face to face meetings.

We had a very interesting presentation on hepatitis B & C, please see the details below, and a number of items of interest were mentioned.

Edda indicated that she has been able to arrange for 40 boxes of pre-loved books to be delivered to DIK for distribution.
Val advised that Doug has been very busy distributing boxes of FORaMEAL sachets with around 17000 meals distributed over the week.
Ted referred to Rotary's seventh area of interest, the environment, which was the focus of discussions last weekend and indicated that there are many rotarians involved in environmental projects
John Pocock asked members to advise him of their availability for the Sunday Market roster

Last Week's Speaker - Kay Dufty

Let’s get rid of Hep B and C!

On Monday night we had a team of three people explore the changes and options in treating Hep B & C that can improve outcomes for people inflicted with hepatitis.

Firstly, Kevin Sheehan, from the Rotary Club of Melbourne explained that Hepaitis Victoria ( now incorporated in LiverWELL) had been one of their Club’s Rotary Downunder Centenary projects for almost ten years.

Kay Dufty, one of LiverWell’s Health Promotion Officers, helps to promote good health for people with Hepatitis B (227000 people in Australia) and C (130000 suffered) and viral hepatitis (29000). The liver is a vital organ in the body, and its inflammatory decline is called the silent epidemic, as symptoms often do not occur until late in its decline in function. Kay explained that both hepatitis B and C are blood borne, from sharing needles, non-sterile tattoos, medical procedures - thankfully a low incidence and workplace accidents such as needle stick injury. Mother to baby transfer can also occur. In 305 of cases, Hep B & C develop into cancer, and it is one of the faster growing cancers in Australia. Hepatitis B can be prevented with vaccination, and managed with careful monitoring, but Hep C can now be cured. Rotary has an End Hepatitis Now project, which Kay encouraged our club to support, and called us to action for World Hepatitis Day on 29th July.

We then heard Jane’s personal story, as a long serving public service management level employee who had experimented with party drugs, ceasing in 1984 but who fell ill in 2010, having been carrying the disease all that time. Once diagnosed, (which took some time) we shared her horror at the diagnosis and terrifying options, and she found Hepatitis Vic personnel very helpful. She reduced her workload and received family support, and has been cured through Hep C which has become available in the last decade. She now works to increase public awareness of treatments available, esp

Thank you Kevin, Kay and Jane for helping us to understand Hepatitis from your three perspectives and giving so generously of your time and experience for our Club’s benefit.

Yarra Park Playground Taking Shape

ROTARY 100 PLAYGROUND SCULPTURE TAKING SHAPE

Yackandandah is a beautiful town in north eastern Victoria, between the tourist town of Beechworth and the regional cities of Wodonga and Albury. Population about 950. It is also the home of Agency of Sculpture, the business founded by artist-engineer Benjamin Gilbert, whose home in Yackandandah featured in the television program Grand Designs in 2016.

Agency of Sculpture has designed and is building the unique interactive play sculpture that will be the focal point of the new playground at Yarra Bank Reserve, a gift to the community from Rotary to mark the centenary of Rotary in Australia. Project Lead Past President Don Moore and PP Richard Blakeman visited Yackandandah on Tuesday May 18th to check on progress, and they weren't disappointed with what they found. To check out the photos, click on 'Read More'

The foundations for the play sculpture have already been laid at Yarra Bank Reserve and construction of the playground and work on landscaping is currently underway. So Benjamin and his team are working feverishly to get the work done, but are still reserving plenty of energy for their trademark creativity. Practical art is what Agency of Sculpture produce. Practical art? Until now, wasn't that thought to be an oxymoron?

District 9800 Change-over

We know you are all well aware of the ongoing situation in Melbourne with the Covid restrictions on numbers attending functions and would appreciate that this has made planning for the District Changeover a little challenging.

We want this function to be a celebration of the very different year we have just had and a chance to look forward to the next Rotary year with as many people as possible in attendance.

Hence the District Changeover has been moved to Saturday 10 July. Same details, same venue, same time.

Thank you to everyone who has already booked. If you are unable to attend on this new date please contact Jane Pennington (jane.pennington@rotary9800.org) to arrange a refund.

If you have not yet booked, please do so and come and celebrate with your Rotary colleagues. It will be “first in best dressed” for tickets as we are unsure what the restrictions will allow by then. The invitation is attached with booking details.

If you have questions please contact Jane.

We both look forward to welcoming you to this wonderful celebration.
