Rotary Outreach Myeloma Program - Two Nursing Scholarships awarded![]() ![]() President George de Souza announced the two successful candidates for the 2023 cancer nursing scholarships recently awarded. The Rotary Outreach Myeloma Program (ROMP) Scholarships for the 2024 academic year were gratefully accepted by registered nurses Eva Gauci (left) of Peter Copulos Cancer and Wellness Centre in Shepparton and Karla Mc Broom (right) of The Border Cancer Hospital in Albury-Wodonga. The Camberwell Rotary Club’s long running ROMP is conducted in collaboration with Myeloma Australia, the only myeloma specific charitable organisation in Australia and with the support of many regional Rotary Clubs. Myeloma is an incurable blood cancer. About twenty thousand people in Australia are living with myeloma and there are approximately two thousand new cases per year in Australia. ROMP celebrates the critical roles of registered nurses employed in regional cancer treatment centres and offers fully funded scholarships in cancer nursing. By upskilling committed nurses, a real difference is made in the treatment and outcomes for myeloma patients and all other cancer patients. Successful candidates complete a Graduate Certificate in Cancer Nursing conducted by Melbourne University.

Computers to East Timor![]() The International Committee has just organized and paid for a consignment of 10 complete computer systems to go to a school in Timor Leste. The Club was contacted by Anna Matarazzo who introduced herself: 'I recently volunteered in Timor Leste at Instituto Profissional de Canossa (IPDC) and The Canossa school in Dili. I am keen to find out how I can get/buy computers for the Canossa school (4000 children) currently they only have 25 working computers which are really old anyway). St Vincent de Paul and the Catholic Diocese of Darwin of which I’m part of are happy to find the funds to do this.' The freight charges will be met by the Catholic Diocese of Darwin. The Pallet of 10 PC systems ready for pallet wrapping (cling wrap!) at the DIK facility West Footscray. |

Last Week's Speaker Dr Gayle Smerdon and Chair Nav Muniratna![]() ![]() Guest speaker Dr Gayle Smerdon Management Coach, presented on the topic of ‘Overcoming Overwhelm’. Gayle is a writer, speaker, coach and trainer. She holds a PhD in the Social Sciences, and Grad. Dip. in Psychology. Her professional mantra is ‘Doing work that matters’. Amongst the books she’s authored are ‘iDevelop: How to take charge of your professional development by becoming a conscious learner’, ‘DO ONE THING and do it deep: How to focus and energise your workplace’ and a work in progress titled on ‘Team Up: How to lift your people and productivity’, due for publication later in 2023. With many people finding their lives are beyond busy, with too much to do and too little time, Gayle asked us to consider not just how to get better at being productive but to find ways to prioritise our tasks. But she encouraged us to ask bigger questions about what’s important to our lives and how we balance the different aspects that enrich us and help us be happy and healthy. We don’t want to look back on lives that were busy but on lives that were full. Gayle acknowledged that while these are not things we don’t know, it’s easy to lose sight of them when overwhelmed with information, activities and distractions. Gayle provided a number of tools we can use for clarity about what's important in our many roles at any stage of life and assist us in managing multiple tasks effectively. In short, she shared great insights on how to care for our own welfare by adopting some practical tips as we navigate the life’s ongoing demands.

ClubRunner Corner - DecemberEver wondered if you have already registered for the next Club Meeting? Did you remember to register your spouse/partner/guest? Ever wondered what your upcoming volunteer commitments are? Then look no further than "My ClubRunner" and "My Profile/Commitments"! ![]() Simply log in to the Member Area on the Home Page (top right-hand corner) and select My ClubRunner then Commitments - simples (as the meerkat says)! I also notice that some Members have never logged in to the Member Area of the Home Page, and others are infrequent - I encourage all Members to log in regularly (you only have to do it once as your computer/device will remember your login details), as this gives you access to a wide range of Club documentation and functionality not available to non-members. For instance, once you are logged in, you can use the Calendar that appears on our Home Page to register and pay for events - you don't have to wait for emails and reminders. So please log in and check out your profile - if you have forgotten your password, there is a reset functionality available on the website, and if you require any further assistance, as always please don't hesitate to contact me. |

2022 Rotary Zone 8 ConferenceThe conference was held at The National Convention Centre, Canberra located within the city centre. 400 Rotarians and spouses attended from across Australia, New Zealand and Pacific Islands. The conference recently opened to anyone in Rotary in the Oceania region. There was a distinct level of additional energy and enthusiasm with the representation of a younger cohort. The conference was jointly chaired and both had equal representation on topics covered. A quote that reinforces the importance of this partnership is ‘What we do today will determine if Rotary is here in the future’. The impact Rotaractors in Oceania and globally augurs well for the future of Rotary. A relatively new development I was unaware of is that it is now possible to have dual membership, that is, be a member of both a Rotary club and a Rotaract club - something I will consider pursuing. |

ROMP Goes to Warrnambool![]() From L to R: Peter Allen (Rotary Camberwell), Bob McMullin (Rotary Club of Warrnambool Central), Chris Rantall (Guest speaker), John Hutson ( Rotary Club of Warrnambool Central & event organiser) and Adrian Campbell (Rotary Camberwell) The City of Warrnambool celebrated the 150th running of the Grand Annual Steeplechase this week, and the pre meet lunch organised by the Warrnambool Central Rotary Club was attended by 130 guests from all over the State. The charity partner of the event was Myeloma Australia, and our Club members Peter Allen and Adrian Campbell joined the lunch - representing the Club's award winning Rotary Outreach Myeloma Program (ROMP). We are pleased to report about $9,000 was raised for the Myeloma Foundation on the day through very generous donations and raffles - special thanks to local Rotary organisers John Hutson and Bob McMillan (who lives with myeloma). The Warrnambool community are remarkable ambassadors & fundraisers for those living with Myeloma - with this lunch event together with the city's recent 38mate Walk in February, they have now raised close to $20,000 for the cause - which is the best result of any town or city in Australia. Well done Warrnambool. The Camberwell Club's multi District ROMP initiative has sown seeds in Rotary Clubs all over the State, to support those living with blood cancers in regional Victoria and to improve health outcomes for those dealing with cancer. A cause worth fighting for in all our regional communities. |

Bairnsdale Cluster Project 31st July/1st AugustGood Afternoon I hope you are all keeping well. I am writing to you all today in a last bd effort to get a project done that our Cluster has been working on for over 12 months. Working with the East Gippsland Rotary Clubs and Landcare we would like to achieve the planting of 7000 trees over the weekend of 31st July/1st August. Due to the last Covid 19 lockdown our initial planting date has been and gone. We are running out of time to get these trees into the ground. I ask if you could kindly extend an invitation to your members to join us at this wonderful project. I do apologise for the very late notice but I am not prepared to cancel the project. As Victorians are free to travel many of our initial volunteers have taken the opportunity to travel interstate so I am seeking more volunteers. The goal of this project was to plant as many trees as possible over a weekend, to inject much needed income into these towns who during covid have seen very few holiday makers and of course enjoy the fellowship of fellow Rotarians. Peter Sindrey, President of Lakes Entrance Rotary has worked tirelessly to make this project happen and it is up to us to ensure we see the project through. Ideally I would like to confirm our numbers to Peter no later than Monday next week 31st July/1st August:
If you have any members interested in attending or need more information, please do not hesitate to contact me: Donna Martin, Bacchus Marsh Rotary Club 0437 177 031 dlmartin260@gmail.com |

May Rotary updatesMay is..... Every month in Rotary has a special purpose. Refer to your Club Directory if you are planning an event to correlate with the Rotary Calendar. May is also National Myeloma month in Australia. May is National Myeloma Month - and for the Rotary Club of Camberwell, our ROMP project. ROMP - the Rotary Outreach Myeloma Program - is our Club's Centenary year project, in collaboration with Myeloma Australia. Myeloma is an incurable blood cancer, of no known cause, which affects approximately 2000 Australians every year. This RC100 accredited project is designed to provide access for all people diagnosed with Myeloma in Victoria to have easy access to a Myeloma support nurse and support group, run in-person or via virtual means. Our club ROMP committee are pleased to report that all 9 jurisdictions across Victoria, supported by local Rotary clubs, are now linked into this excellent program. And this week, their "38mate" program was launched - checkout the photos below! 38 Australians are diagnosed with Myeloma every week - every myeloma patient, their family and regional myeloma communities deserve ready access to specialist myeloma nurses, information about evolving myeloma treatments and advice about living with myeloma. If you haven't yet received your copy of the ROMP newsletter, ask Adrian Campbell or Peter Allen for a copy. ![]() |
