Nerida Dean is the District Chair of Australian Rotary Health (ARH - formerly the Australian Rotary Health Research Fund). ARH is a major independent health research charity supported by Rotary clubs nationwide. Primarily focusing on mental health research, particularly in early childhood (ages 0-12), it also funds Indigenous health scholarships, rural medical/nursing scholarships, and general medical research. In past years (decades?) our club supported this uniquely Australian Rotary associated organisation. This is your opportunity to become (re)acquainted again.

We'll also welcome Maddison McEwan as well as Lucianna Mendivelso. Maddie will attend the 2027 National Youth Science Forum. Our club is sponsoring her application, including a 50% financial contribution. Licianna, who is also sponsored by our club, will attend the Rotary Youth Transition Seminar (RYTS) in December.
