Another good benefit is the confidence joint meetings create to invite high profile speakers where we should be able to provide an audience of 30 or more members and guests.

This week four members visited the Rotary Club of Glenferrie and at the suggestion of Glenferrie President Richard I conducted the meeting. My somewhat cheeky welcome of Glenferrie members to our meeting at their club was received with good humour. We were well received, and I believe sets up a good vibe for future repetitions of this activity.

Update from the Bright Futures Community Centre in Nepal
Yarra Bend Rotary’s Director – International, Isabel Armer contines her stay in Nepal where she spends several
monbths each year supporting the Bright Futures Community Centre. This year she has been joined in Nepal by her
brother Bruce Van Every, who was a former President of Kew on Yarra Rotary. Bruce is going with Netra and Isabel to
Kangel in early November Bruce has already donated quite a bit of money to help the local schools and wants to see
what else can be done. He will also help Isabel assess the Yarra bend project in Kangel. Netra says work has also
begun on the renovation of the building for the Computer Centre. Isabel intends to inspect the schools in the the next
week or so. At some stage the plan is to run a health program for the girls.
Pictured left - Bruce Van Everyin the garden at Shambhala waiting for a cup of coffee
before heading off on the trek (bus to Pokhara and then trekking).
Pictured above - students celebrate three days of the Hindu Tihar Festival on the street outside the Bright Futures
Community Centre in Katmandhu. It is the Nepalese festival of lights and shows reverence to humans and the gods,
but also to the animals that maintain an intimate relationship with humans.
