Many Thanks to Bendigo Bank. #communitybankrosebud2021funding
Recently the club received a grant from the Bendigo Bank to assist in covering costs for the club’s toy making efforts & its rent. In COVID times it is very much appreciated as the club is restricted in its fundraising efforts
A recent committee meeting agreed to make a $500 donation to a fund for the bush fire victims.
Additionally, the committee will approach Bunnings & request a date to run a BBQ where all the money raised will go to a Fire Victims Fund.
Many of us have had prostate cancer or know of someone who has had it. It is not the death sentence it was once. This only the case because of money raised for research into ways of managing the cancer.
I would not be here today if it was not for this research; however I still cannot grow a moustache but I can support someone who can.
Syd is a club member who has also survived prostate cancer and he can grow a moustache. Please support him in his fund raising effort.

Together we’ve helped stop men dying too young, funding vital prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention projects. Every bit counts, which is why I’m back for another month of Movember. Will you help me out again?
I’m supporting the Movember Foundation because they’re tackling some of the most significant health issues faced by men.
There are two ways you can contribute to my Movember fundraising:

Paul Nitas CEO Hillview Quarries visited the WOSP workshop and presented a defibrillator to President John Bayliss. The joint board of Hillview Quarries and the RE Ross Trust provided the grant for the defibrillator.
President John Bayliss said “That a recent health scare involving a member had put the club on notice that a defibrillator as well as members updating their first aid qualifications was urgently needed”. John also said “That their 85 members would feel a lot more at ease knowing that this life saving device would now be on hand should it be needed”.
In response a gift of a hand turned pen & desk set along with a certificate of appreciation was presented Paul thanking him on behalf of the members.
The woodworkers of the Southern Peninsula conduct a range of woodworking skills to both men & women of all ages at their workshop in Boneo Road. A special group the “Toy makers” spend 12 months crafting and painting toys that number between 800 and 1,000 each year. These toys are then distributed to agencies, Salvos, Westernport Giving Program, Southern Peninsula Food for All, and Good Shepherd Australia.
