25.01.2022 Rotary 2020 Virtual Convention schedule now available...

25.01.2022 Now that Victoria is coming out of lockdown restrictions, it’s time to celebrate. We’re also excited to share Hampton Rotary Club’s involvement in Australian Rotary Health’s #liftthelidwalk during the month of October - Mental Health Month - to raise awareness and funds for youth mental health research. We may still need to be socially distanced, but it hasn't stopped us from getting out! We’ve walked 2.5 million steps so far to raise funds to support research for new progra...ms that help young people with a range of mental illness including anxiety & depression, eating disorders and suicide thoughts and behaviours. An amazing initiative such as Teen Mental Health First Aid, which has now been used by thousands of high school students, would not have started without research funding by Australian Rotary Health. To support the walk and youth mental health research by Australian Rotary Health, you can DONATE hereand make a real difference: https://www.liftthelidwalk.com.au/virtual-hampton-victoria All donations go directly to Australian Rotary Health to fund youth mental health research. #liftthelidonmentalillness #liftthelidwalk

16.01.2022 Dear RFM Community, We are extremely concerned about reducing the spread of COVID-19 and are taking this very seriously. This is obviously a highly uncertain a...nd stressful time for everyone - especially as information and advice is evolving very quickly. At this moment, ALL Markets run by Regional Farmers Markets will proceed as usual The current advice is that it is the collective responsibility of everyone to ensure we are acting with a sense of urgency and responsibility to both ourselves and those around us in an effort to minimise the transmission and impact of the virus. The current recommendation (although we appreciate this advice can change) is that only people who had direct contact with an infected person (within 1.5 meters of the person for longer than 15 minutes or in the same room for two hours) need to self-isolate and contact their GP, while everyone else is advised to just continue regular (if not enhanced) hygiene precautions. Obviously If you are unwell (and especially if you are showing any symptoms associated with COVID-19) please seek medical attention and otherwise stay home to look after yourself and DO NOT ATTEND THE MARKET! We will be spreading out the layout of stalls at our Markets as much as we can within each site to help create more space for people to move around. So you may notice some layout changes! Please try not to pack in too tightly when buying and to form a queue with space wherever possible. We will offer some tables and chairs for patrons to use for seating, but these will be disinfected frequently by our management staff and will also be spaced out more than usual. We will continue to post any key updates here as they are considered necessary. Thank you for reading this, and please feel welcome to message us if you have any concerns or questions RFM Management

16.01.2022 Today is RUOK? Day. This is a reminder to regularly check in with those around you (...and those far away) to see how theyre going...and if youre worried about them, start the conversation...

15.01.2022 Our first virtual zoom Club meeting last night. Thanks to Juliet Riseley for her presentation on her time as the First Lady of Rotary International as well as sharing insights on Rotary leadership, professional development and some amazing projects around the globe.

14.01.2022 Everything you wanted to know about wastebut were afraid to ask!! We had such an insight into the whole world of waste at a recent Club meeting with special presenter and waste expert Maree Marshall, from WSP. Everyone who joined this talk on Going Green Club members, other Rotarians and members of our local community all came away with so many tips on how to reduce our waste and then truly make a difference to our local environment and communities. Here are a few tips from the talk on how to reduce waste to landfill. #goinggreen #sustainability

13.01.2022 Earlier this year, Hampton Rotary donated funds raised from our Bayside Farmers Market to the fire relief efforts in the Gippsland area and at a recent Club meeting, we heard from Peter Sindrey, the Acting Chair of the East Gippsland Rotary Fire Aid - a joint project of the combined Rotary Clubs of the East Gippsland Cluster - Rotary Club of Bairnsdale, Rotary Club Of Bairnsdale Sunrise, @RotaryClub MitchellRiver, @RotaryClub Orbost, @RotaryClub LakesEntrance. Peter shared ho...w funds from Rotary Club donations and grants, totally over $1.3 million, and in-kind donations estimated at over $1 million, were put to good use to support the recovery efforts in the fire ravaged areas. Here’s a snapshot: o Emergency funding for personal and urgent needs o Caravans 30 to date, complete with generators and heaters (for winter) o Rural fencing construction assisting BlazeAid o Distribution of donated care packs, clothing etc o Livestock fodder o Shipping containers over 140 to date o Revegetation projects especially rural properties o Household goods for those under-insured or uninsured o Donations of funds/vouchers to individuals What fantastic results and great to hear of the amazing joint efforts of Rotary and the community!

12.01.2022 We are so grateful that despite lockdowns in Victoria, the Rotary Club of Hampton still put on their walking shoes in October to support mental health research.... They had a goal to walk 2 million steps during Mental Health Month but went the extra mile and did 3 million steps, raising $3,300 for Australian Rotary Health! Thank you so much for helping to #Liftthelidonmentalillness To support mental health research like Hampton Rotary, please donate here: https://buff.ly/2w9iEPc

12.01.2022 We’re very excited to be participating in the Lift the Lid Walk for Mental Health this year....

12.01.2022 What a fabulous day we had at the restart of the Bayside Farmers Market this morning. The rain and cold didn't dampen our spirits as the local community came out to welcome us back, and to support all the stallholders who provided the fantastic produce. Some of the kids that came along had the time of their lives as well...and entertained us with their antics in the puddles! Thanks so much to everyone who supported us today. We can't wait to see you back on Saturday 28th November.

12.01.2022 A great achievement and amazing progress. Over 2000 patients from Phnom Penh and provinces from all around Cambodia have sought general and specialized gynecological medical services at Nokor Tep Womens Hospital within its first year of operations.

09.01.2022 Thanks so much to everyone who donated baby and children's items after our Club did a shout-out to our local Hampton and Highett communities for goods needed by St Kilda Mums to support needy families. There are so many generous people in our area and we have been overwhelmed by the donations - so many beautiful and much-loved baby items clothing, car seats, baby & cot blanketsthe list is endless! Such great community spirit and support for those families in need. Club member @Rhonda Pincott (...helped by Jane and Tess) has been hard at work sorting the items into various baby & children’s packs ready to send to St Kilda Mums shortly. A range of additional baby toiletry items which have been funded by donations to our Rotary Club are also included in the packs as well. Thanks again to everyone who donatedyou’re all amazing!

09.01.2022 2020-2021 District Governor Alma Reynolds preparing for her first Club visit (via Zoom) on Tuesday, July 14. This is the first of 40 Club visits spread over the next three months.

08.01.2022 What is the Value of Rotary? Over 100 years in Australia, Rotarians have given their talents, time and money doing good in the world. Has it been worth it? How ...about these 10 Thought Starters? Can you add to the list? 1. $45m donated to Australian Rotary Health over 40 years from all Australian Districts helping address indigenous and mental health issues - saving how many lives and enhancing so many futures 2. The first project resuscitating Scouting after WW1 raised 14,000 pounds in 1921 or the equivalent of $1million+ in 2021 3. If every Rotarian in the past 100 years donated the equivalent of $100, that would approximate $300 million. After leveraging fundraising and matching grants, that may be $1billion++ of making a difference 4. If every Rotarian attended 50% of our weekly meetings with breakfast, lunch or dinner, that pumps $500,000 into the local economy every week, every month, every year for 100 years. 5. What is the community and economic value of all the farmers markets, fun runs and festivals sponsored in 1000+ Rotary communities every year? It must be $millions of fundraising plus creating untold enterprise value for many small businesses. 6. Is it true that Rotary raised $10million as part of the Farmers Aid fundraiser during the recent drought? 7. What is the value to young lives and the economic stimulus that flowed from 60 years of Youth Exchange that now involves 8-9000 students every year (pre or post COVID). A program that started in Australia that must be worth $100million+ in economic value each year around the world. 8. If every Rotarian in the past 100 years volunteered just 1 hour per week, cumulatively that sets a benchmark of 200 million hours of community impact. At $25 per hour, that is worth $5 billion over 100 years and counting 9. What was the value of Rotary urgently delivering 1 million face masks to emergency service workers during the recent bushfire season when supplies were exhausted? 10. Governments save $14,000 each year for every homeless person where Rotary helps find permanent accommodation. How many lives and futures have been saved along with huge savings? You tell me, has it been worth it? Can we create 100 examples of how Rotary has made a quantitative impact on society? Its part of our centenary legacy and a platform to add value for the next 100 years.

07.01.2022 The Bayside Farmers' Market will be back soon with a new look, and new dates 4th Saturday every month! We’re really excited to announce the re-launch of our Bayside Farmers’ Market.

We’ve been working hard behind the scenes with our partners to ensure the market meets all the current safety requirements. We’ll make more announcements in the coming weeks but ensure you now note this new market day in your diary!

07.01.2022 Hows this for a fundraiser? You wont want to miss this breakfast with Sam Neil.

06.01.2022 Hampton Rotary club member Geoff Tickner (joined by wife Prue) dropped off 62 men’s packs to BayCISS to distribute to needy men in our local community. Each pack included a range of basic toiletry items as well as some special treats. This project has been part of our Club’s commitment to help support members of our local community, especially at this very difficult time. Using funds raised from the generosity of patrons to our regular events, such as the monthly Bayside Farmers’ Market, we’ve been able to purchase these toiletry items. We would also like to thank @Hampton Discount Chemist, @Simon Kenny Pharmacy and the The Holland Foundation for their support of this project too. Such great community spirit in action! #baysidecommunity

05.01.2022 What a year it has been! The Rotary Club of Hampton are thrilled to have assisted so many local community groups over the past year through our Community Grants program. Some of the worthy recipients included: - Starfish Nippers Program at the Hampton Life Saving Club (providing protective T-shirts), - Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA), Moorabbin (purchasing feed for 9 horses), - The Holland Foundation (helping provide training manuals as part of their program for th...e unemployed & new arrivals), - Olympic Avenue Kindergarten (bike racks for the children); - Hampton RSL & Community Centre (helping to fund an anti-graffiti wall), - Hampton Hammers Netball Club (helping fund the development of senior girls as coaches with online training programs).

Thanks so much to everyone involved and for supporting us to help support the local community.

05.01.2022 Thank you for your service.

05.01.2022 How great to hear from Gregory Ross, the Chairman of Australian Rotary Health, who presented to Hampton Rotary Club this week. We heard about transformative youth mental health programs such as Teen Mental Health First Aid and Cool Kids that both started with research funding by Australian Rotary Health. It is programs such as these that truly make a difference to improve the mental health of young people. Hampton Rotary are this month raising awareness and funds for youth me...ntal health research by participating in Australian Rotary Health’s #Liftthelidwalk. We may be masked up, but that's not stopping us from getting out and spreading the word.

04.01.2022 ENDPOLIONOW DECLARATION Today, August 25, the World Health Organisation African Region was officially certified free of wild poliovirus. It is a red-letter" da...y and this certification has come four years after Nigeria, the last polio-endemic country in Africa, recorded its last case of the wild poliovirus! Now that the African region is certified as polio-free, FIVE of the six W.H.O. regions, representing over 90% of the worlds population, will be free of the wild poliovirus. This progress is the result of a decades-long effort across the 47 countries of the African region. It has involved millions of health workers traveling by foot, boat, bike and bus, innovative strategies to vaccinate children amid conflict and insecurity, and a huge disease surveillance network to test cases of paralysis and check sewage for the virus. In 1996 Rotary International and our partners, joined with South African President Nelson Mandela to jumpstart Africas commitment to polio eradication with the launch of the Kick Polio out of Africa campaign. President Mandelas call mobilized African nations and leaders across the continent to step up their efforts to reach EVERY child for immunisation with the polio vaccine. Since 1996, nine BILLION doses of oral polio vaccine have been provided, averting an estimated 1.8 million cases of wild poliovirus on the continent thanks to the dedicated efforts of thousands of Rotarians, health workers, traditional and religious leaders, parents, and country leaders. Rotary and its members have contributed nearly US$980 million to eliminate polio in the African region. These amazing statistics were highlighted during a recent ENDPOLIONOW Zoom meeting involving 60 EPN Coordinators, Rotary senior leaders and Rotary International staff. See more
