NORTH SUMATRA COVID19 HEALTH EDUCATION PROGRAM
We have a window of opportunity to save lives COVID-19 hasn’t reached rural areas in North Sumatra yet - but it’s in the towns nearby. With no hospitals and limited medical facilities prevention is everything! This campaign will help communities prepare. Volunteers will visit families to explain the virus and how to protect themselves. They’ll provide soap and a small supply of flyers so families can share vital health information with their extended family. We’ve making information banners to display in public areas too. Every $200 we raise provides soap and information flyers for 200 households - that’s 800 to 1000 people! So any support you can give will make a real impact! All Australian donations are tax deductible - you will automatically receive a tax receipt when you donate using this link. If you would prefer to donate directly please contact us by email at: caresumatra@gmail.com
MND Afternoon Tea for Jon Catania
We would like to welcome you to a wonderful afternoon of catching up with old friends and acquaintances and spend the afternoon just being together.

He is a wonderful young man. However, at just 21 years of age he was diagnosed with MND (Motor Neurone Disease). As you will all appreciate, this is a very devastating diagnosis and with your help, all funds raised will be directed to the Motor Neurone Disease Laboratory at the Florey Institute, here in Melbourne. They are making great inroads into seeking a solution for this dreadful disease. There will be items to purchase – jam, relish, cookies, gifts, plants, and other items along with several amazing raffle prizes and a silent auction.

Skal International Broome Florimond Volckaert Fund Donation
The Florimond Volckaert Fund was set up in 1954 to provide assistance to Skålleagues and their immediate families who are encountering serious problems which cannot be resolved through other means. The purpose of the fund is to extend the amicale of Skål to fellow Skålleagues who, due to circumstance, find themselves in need of financial help. The assistance can be in the form of a gift or a loan but usually it is provided as a gift because the members in need of help can be expected to have difficulties paying back a loan. It was announced that our Monaco International Skål Councillor Birgit Reimann had been approached by someone who wanted to donate US$ 50.000 to the Florimond Volckaert Fund on the condition of anonymity. It was decided by the donor that a way of showing our appreciation for such a large gift would be for Skål International Members to “match dollar for dollar” to reach Euros 90,000. Skal Broome is inviting members to make personal donations to this cause.
