RU OK Community Support
Another great evening spent together enjoying a Work Place Visit at Fort Queenscliff.
Twenty-four members partners and friends gathered at the fort at 6pm, where we were met by our guide who explain the workings of the fort in the past and today.
Interesting fact were shared regarding, when the fort was built in 1860, how the first shot in WW1 was fired from that location, also, the part the fort played in mail deliveries at that time to the Western part of Victoria.
We heard about tea dances at the weekend in the drill hall for some relaxation for the solders, and to meet the lovely ladies of Queenscliff, to a cannon fire demonstration in 1988 that broke all the window around the parade ground and left a few VIP being blown from their seats, but so much more as well.
Today the fort is the military record centre for Australia. Up until 9 -11 the fort was open to the public to come and go as they pleased, bringing picnics to share overlooking the bay, but as many things did, unfortunately that has changed now.
Thanks to Telsa for organising this great evening, well done.
Bayside member, Jane Myers this week, all the way from Uluru.
Jane was working in the area with indigenous families and thought she would try to join the meeting on zoom.
Sadly, finally got on and it was too late and we missed her, maybe next time Jane, but what a beautiful office you have.
Jane was telling me about a breast screening activity for August Sept and Oct that she is involved in, and there is a request to find a donation of ladies’ socks for same....
Jane will be travelling to remote communities as part of a support team, and she would like to know, are we interested in supporting this project.
I think it sound like a very interesting and a simple project.

Jane will be sending more information about it.

We had a perfect day to be out and about, cleaning up the park and foreshore area.
And, then a little reward of a fish & Chip lunch at the Boat House afterwards.
Well done everyone, great effort.
What a team, and what a great day we all had on Sunday.
The Garden Party was a great success and was fabulous working together the RC of Geelong Central, bringing it all together and raising the sum of $2000 + for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation.
