NOTES FROM AUSTRALIA![]() The 38 founding ('charter') members of the Rotary Club of Melbourne were all leaders in their vocations and leading citizens of the city at that time. Over the years, the Club and its members have been instrumental in many landmark initiatives, such as: • re-establishing the Scouting Movement after their loss of leaders in WWI • formulating apprenticeship legislation (1927) and later establishing the Apprenticeship Commission in Victoria (1935-36), which became the model for the rest of Australia • establishing the State Government's Mental Health Commission to sepa-rate the mentally ill from the intellectually handicapped (c. 1947-48) • sponsoring, with Wesley Mission, the establishment of Lifeline (1963) • rebuilding the Claremont Homes for the Elderly (1976) • helping the Salvation Army develop its Crossroads program (1984) • joining with the Baker Medical Research Institute to establish the Heart Risk Reduction Clinic (1987) • helping launch Very Special Kids (1985) and Australians Against Child Abuse (1992) • building an embassy in Canberra for the new nation of Timor Leste (2003) • providing means for the Donydji Homeland Community in Arnhem Land to grow towards sustainability (2003-14) One of their members, Sir Angus Mitchell, was the first Australian to become President of Rotary International, in 1948. He was instrumental in bringing Japan back into the Rotary International fold. Today they are a diverse multi-generational group of (mostly) professional people, some retired, others fully or partly active in the professions. Yoshi showed us photos of his recent trip to Australia. His presentation can be see HERE. NOTE - the sound quality is very poor.
