SI Fremantle – Meeting 28 March

[Show as slideshow]

Monday 28th March was our second meeting for March and saw a number of interesting speakers present to our members and guests.

Karen Mercer coordinator of The Freo Street Doctor Clinic, a beneficiary of funds raised through the SI Fremantle Art Auction, updated us on the activities and outreach programs of the clinic. She also spoke of her passion for Foster Care and brought along her three foster children. The three boys each received a beautiful ‘I Spy’ quilt to take home with them as part of the SI Fremantle club’s ‘I Spy’ Quilts for Foster Children project.

Aimee Middis from Schoolies Alternative group spoke with much enthusiasm and passion about the organisation. Aimee is now a leader in this organisation which takes groups of high school students to spend two weeks in Timor Leste, working in villages and helping the local population. Aimee spoke from the heart about the changes the programme makes to the lives of all involved in this great initiative. It is so good to hear positive stories about Schoolies week and this is certainly a project worth supporting.

Other guests were award recipients some who were accompanied by their parents/lecturers from John Curtin College of the Arts, Hamilton Hill Senior High School and Notre Dame University School of Nursing. It was a great evening with lots of fellowship during the tea break and a special thanks to the SI Cambridge members who came along to share the evening. We look forward to sharing more meetings with other clubs. The supper was as always fantastic and was provided by our members.
