19.01.2022 Great conversation during last Tuesday evenings meeting, highlighting citizen advocacy. Wonderful volunteers looking out for others in our community. Members present voted to cease F2F meetings for the remainder of March and explore online meeting formats beginning in April. Given the recent escalation of health directives it was fortunate decisions were made and strategies put in place. Responsible citizenship. Take care everyone!

13.01.2022 Heres proof in the pudding that a "small group of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission" can make a huge difference! Last week, with Nazareth Outreach Work we took the opportunity to formally acknowledge and thank SA Power Networks for their generosity to help establish a Mobile Health Clinic in Timor-Leste under projects established by Fundao Lafaek Diak (The Good Crocodile Foundation) and Nazareth Catholic Community. Without their support many Timorese communities would not have any access to medical advice, assistance or treatment.

13.01.2022 First BBQ back, post COVID-19 lock down, for our club at Bunnings, Edwardstown. Thank you Bunnings for all your support.

06.01.2022 Last night it was a pleasure to support a local school for their Building Connections-Community Night.

01.01.2022 Service above self. Wonderful community spirit given the current health restrictions.
