SI Maylands Peninsula – September Meeting

[Show as slideshow]

SI Maylands Peninsula’s September meeting was special for a couple of reasons. Firstly we inducted two new members – Carol Armstrong & Dale Carpenter. Each spoke briefly about their life’s journey, both entertaining and inspiring those in attendance. We are excited to have their combined talents as part of the SI Maylands Peninsula club.

Secondly we had members from other clubs, particularly SI On The Terrace join us to listen to our guest speaker for the evening Sue Ash, CEO of Uniting Care West. Sue spoke about Uniting Care West generally and the extent of the activities the organisation manages. She also spoke passionately about the Trinity Learning Centre, which was set up 24 years ago to give young women the choice to stay in school and keep their child.  Funds raised through the recent art exhibition and auction jointly organised by SI On The Terrace and SI Maylands Peninsula will be used to assist the Trinity Learning Centre develop and pilot a peer mentoring program for pregnant and parenting teens.
