LAST WEEK'S MEETING      

Libby Murphy with 28 years work with Victoria Police, provided a sobering insight into "Elder Abuse as Family Violence".  Elder Abuse is one of the topics to be addressed in our "Rotary Safe Families" initiative which is planned for later this year and Libby and Victoria Police believe that we all need to understand and be able to identify this too common, complex form of violence.   

Last week,  Ryan Saville was inducted into our Club with the Classification of Marketing - Technology.  President Robert Fisher officiated and Ryan was welcomed with much applause.

Detective Senior Sergeant Anthony Mercer reported on his activities in the US when he revisited our Club last week.  Anthony attended a Meeting in May this year before he departed for New Orleans, USA on a Rotary (D9800/D6840) Vocational Exchange on Family Violence.
