Thank you Tobin Brothers for supporting our RYLA program. We look forward to your continued support.
On the 1 Aug we received a cheque from @tobinbrothers for $1000 for Rotary Youth Leadership Award or RYLA. Tobin Brothers celebrated 90 years this year and wanted to give back to the local community. Rotary Caroline Springs appreciates receiving the generous donation alongside the other recipients being St Albans Bowls with Stevensville Primary, St Albans Food Bank and St Albans Secondary College. Congratulations to all recipients of this generous donation from Tobin Brothers.
Thank you Tobin Brothers for recognising the volunteer work we do for both the local community and our International projects. A highlight was our own Dr Nivi being interviewed by Magic Radio station. Dr Nivi provided an excellent interview about RYLA and Rotary Caroline Springs.

It was wonderful to have been a part of the official opening of the African Youth Initiative (AYI) in Melton. Together with some members of Rotary Caroline Springs and Rotary SAFE Families we gathered to celebrate with these amazing and talented young women and men with local Steve McGhie MP and youth council members. Catching up with them gave us an insight into their Girls Chat program by Abak and how they give back to the local community. We talked, played pool, table tennis and shared a meal and soft drinks. Congratulations AYI and looking forward to working with you all on Melton Youth projects together and keeping families safe.

On 7 Aug we welcomed to Western Emergency Relief Network (WERN) guest speaker Dorothy Gilmour, President of Rotary Hawthorn and Rotary Safe families. Dorothy gave a very informative and thought-provoking talk about Coercive Control within a family.
Sadly family violence within Australia continues to grow at alarming rates. We all need to recognise what family violence is about and address it.
Rotary Safe Families serves to get communities to understand that family violence is not acceptable in today's world.

Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) is an intensive leadership experience organised by Rotary clubs and districts where you develop your skills as a leader while having fun, making lifelong friends and coming away empowered.
Each year Rotary Caroline Springs sponsors at least one candidate to attend the RYLA camp.
At our recent changeover evening, our recent candidate Priya Somabhatta shared the impact of attending RYLA had on her. We were also fortunate to hear from Alex Lapina (President of Rotary Activate) about his time at RYLA. Both expressed that the lessons learned, friendships made and personal growth achieved are invaluable life lessons.
