Back in February 2018, Editor showed a list of Rotary Acronyms as she could not interpret all the abbreviations that Rotary takes for granted. Like learning another language. For our newer members and those like me who forget, you can see for yourself.
Rotary Melbourne's Rotary SAFE Families is very happy to have received the following testimonial and endorsement. Also can be found on our website: www.rotarysafefamiies.org.au with other endorsements of Rotary SAFE Families work in Australia.
Recently, Rotary Melbourne approved the Rotary SAFE Families Ambassdor Club Program inviting Clubs throughout Australia to be part of a "Collective Voice" of Australian Clubs and Rotarians who endorse our SAFE Families mission: "Stopping Abuse in Families Everywhere". Will you please help to promote our Program to the Clubs you visit? Great way of increasing our Rotary fellowship in Australia.
