Lift the Lid on Mental Illness

Wear an eye-catching hat

Next Monday 14 October, everyone is asked to wear their most eye-catching hat, and make a donation for this important cause. There will be a prize for the most eye-catching hat.

Heather McNaught has very kindly offered to bring some extra hats for those people who are not able to bring one so they won’t feel left out. We will decide on a suitable charge for those people who make use of the hats Heather brings. Thursday 10 October is Australian Rotary Health’s National annual fundraising day, ‘Lift the Lid on Mental Illness’ for mental health research.

Each year approximately 1-in-5 Australians will experience a mental illness and in order to help future generations of young Australians we need to look ahead, through research, and find out how we can prevent this type of illness occurring.

Slide Show Colin presented a slide show of Celebrating 30 Years of Women in Rotary during our meal.

Guest Speaker ~ Peter Kenyon ‘Let’s Just Not Serve Communities- Let’s Strengthen Communities’

Peter Kenyon, President Gail McCulloch and Ian Pittaway

Peter began his talk by sharing lots of stories about the wonderful work being done by Rotary, locally, nationally and internationally. We were treated to a huge range of projects and ideas that are happening, which made us all feel very proud to be Rotarians.

Peter’s enthusiasm and commitment made him a delight to listen to. He talked about how community life isn’t what it used to be. Evidence shows that compared with the mid-1980s, Australians today have four fewer close friends: people they could talk with frankly, without having to watch their words. 18% of people say they have no one to turn to in times of difficulty. Only one in three people know their immediate neighbour’s name, with a corresponding figure for how many people trust their neighbours. Over 40% of people in nursing homes never get a visitor…simply, levels of neighbour connection, trust and mental health are at all-time lows, with the experiences of loneliness and depression at all-time highs. Maybe, the way governments and service agencies ’do community’ needs challenging?

Maybe:-

• less ‘to’ and ‘for’ community, and more ‘with’ and ‘by/of’ the community.

• Less ‘servicing’ community, more ‘strengthening’ community’.

• Less ’wrapping services’ around people, and more ‘wrapping community’.

• Less viewing and calling people ’clients’, ‘customers’, ‘patients’ and ‘consumers’…more engaging them as ‘co-owners’, ‘co-producers’, ‘co-designers’ and in fact ‘citizens’.

A community enthusiast and social entrepreneur, Peter has worked with 2000+ communities across Australia and in 59 countries seeking to facilitate fresh and creative ways that stimulate community and local economic renewal. Motivated by the desire to create caring, healthy, inclusive and enterprising communities, Peter, through his organisation, the Bank of I.D.E.A.S (Initiatives for the Development of Enterprising Action and Strategies), helps communities spark their own ideas and invest themselves in building sustainable futures. In the last year, he has worked with 70 communities from Marble Bar to Gnowangerup, Launceston to Cairns, and convened and facilitated community building conferences in Australia, India, Canada and New Zealand. A keen author, Peter has written 16 books on community and economic development, youth policy and enterprise. Peter’s passion and purpose sees him traverse the globe continuously in his relentless desire to enable communities to discover their strengths and transform themselves. In 2011, he was a recipient of a Centenary Medal for his work with rural communities, and in 2017, was the WA Senior Western Australian in acknowledgement of his community entrepreneurialism Peter was a very engaging, entertaining and thought provoking speaker.

Winners The winner of the Door Prize was Winston. John was the winner of the Raffle, but not the Joker.
