Youth Week Luncheon with an ANZAC Day Tribute
Event description
Sydney Rotary Club's luncheon on Tuesday 20th April will celebrate Youth Week with the Founders of Stand Tall, Jeanine Treharne and Angela Farr-Jones.
Stand Tall was founded in 2012 in response to the tragic level of drug use, depression, bullying, hopelessness and self-harm among high school students.
They had a vision to provide an event that would engage young people by providing a message of hope and inspiration, presenting it in an exciting, rock concert environment through the real stories of successful, young pop culture role models who had experienced these things.
Rotary/PCYC Youth Encouragement Scholarship award winners will be announced during the luncheon.
This hybrid luncheon will start at 12 noon with an ANZAC Day Tribute featuring Uncle Harry Allie who was born and grew up in the Charters Towers/Townsville area and a descendant of the Kudjula Tribal group. Harry was inspired to join the Australian Defence Forces by his uncles and an aunt who served in the services during WWII. He enlisted in the Royal Australian Air Force in 1966 at Townsville North Queensland and served for 23 years at a number of units throughout Australia, the US, and Malaysia.
You are invited to support Rotary's Centennial Project - Give Every Child a Future.
