Australia Region
1. Your expectations to make a difference during Nov.～Jan.2022 -Update on Progress
On 25th January a zoom meeting was held for the Y Service and Y service Womens clubs in Bendigo.
The purpose was to,
1. Look at improving relationships with the YMCA at a local and state wide level.
2. Look at the possibility of creating a Bendigo Region wide project for all clubs to participate in.
3. Give local clubs a guide to starting back using the 100 things to do brochure
4. Form a Research group from local club members to look at what are the needs in the community and then develop a strategy to meet these needs
2. Share 1 or 2 Key Activities that have made/will make a difference
- RD Wayne to send a request to all Bendigo Clubs to get at least 1 volunteer from each Club to form a research group to investigate possible projects or activities that the Clubs in Bendigo could combine together to do.
- RD to followup with a zoom meeting to explain the reasons for the research and start the process. Face to face meetings will be required at some stage.
- RD to call another presidents meeting once we have some data to work with
- Group to select/reccomend a project that clubs can work together on. This may be in partnership with the YMCA
3. Step taken to-date to achieve Goals and Key Target 2021/2022
- RD Has completed all preliminary steps for the above process. Just waiting on clubs to nominate participants in the Research group
4. Challenges
- Massive outbreak with covid 19 has hampered all clubs activities Both in meeting face to face as well as holding Fundraising activities
- Trying to retore some enthusiasm for club activities. Clubs have not met for two months and the danger is that covid will cause a loss of members because they are not meeting
