Rotary's Ongoing DV Campaign
Join us to "Say NO to domestic and family violence and YES to respectful relationships."
Rotarians across Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands have joined together to spread awareness, provide assistance, and offer resources to combat family and domestic violence. By working together, we can make a significant difference in reducing this pervasive issue, across our District, from Sydney Harbour to the top end of the Central Coast and west to the Blue Mountains. We share the common goal of supporting individuals who have experienced abuse and violence within their homes.
Last month we held our Cocktail Party, raising funds for Domestic Violence, at Bygone Beauty's in Leura. This event was the culmination of a lot of work by Rotary and wonderful support from Bygone Beauty's. We raised over $6000 for Domestic and Family Violence in the Blue Mountains, which was distributed to two local organisations at the coalface, DV West and Brigid Justice. Representatives from Blue Mountains Police, Susan Templeman MP and a Domestic Violence professional, joined us. Compered by Ray Wiles and a special "teapot talk" by Maurice Cooper OAM, the night was a lot of fun but with a serious purpose. Thanks to everyone involved and for your generosity, including all the local sponsors.
