Friends in Rotary,

With great sadness it is my melancholy duty 
to inform you of the passing of Royce Abbey AO.DCM, 
Past President Rotary International. 
Our friend, our Rotary Leader and Mentor to all who knew him, 
Royce will be sadly missed by all of us.


Royce has passed away following a short illness.

In 2013 it was the 25th anniversary of Royce Abbey’s 
induction as Rotary International World President. 
 Royce joined the Rotary Club of Essendon in 1954,
 was Club President in 1963-64
 and served as District Governor in 1969-70.
 He held Rotary’s highest office in 1988-89.

Rotary Leads Australia in Mental Health Prevention
Mental disorders have become the main source of disability burden in Australia.
 In response, funding from the Australian Government
 has supported an increase in treatment services.
 However, as the percentage of people seeking treatment has risen from 37% to 46%,
 the prevalence of mental disorders in Australia appears to be unchanged.
 So the question remains: how do we reduce
 the impact of mental health on the Australian community?
Australian Rotary Health (ARH) has become one of the first research organisations
 to commit funding into finding preventions for mental disorders.
 At an ARH Symposium held last year, which brought together 25
 of Australia’s top experts in Mental Health prevention,
 evidence showed that prevention is particularly promising
 for common mental disorders such as depression and anxiety.
In conjunction with Rotary Clubs, they will also run health forums
 around Australia bringing information to the community
 of how they can prevent the development mental disorders in their own lives.
 Finally, a third program to put them ahead of the pack
 is the launch of an electronic newsletter spotlighting the latest research findings
 of mental health prevention across the lifespan.
Five new research projects will be funded this year 
in the area of mental health prevention:

·         A Multi-tiered approach to suicide prevention in young Australians 
- Tonelle Handley, National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre, NSW.

·         The prevention of mental health difficulties in adolescents
 using an emotion-focussed parenting program
S Sophieighurst, University of Melbourne, Vic
.
·         Effective suicide prevention campaign material for young people:
 A randomised controlled trial -
 Jane Pirkis, University of Melbourne, Vic
.
·         Phase II study of an online population-based intervention 
to improve the mental health of young people who are unemployed 
- Vanessa Rose, University of New South Wales,


·         Helping young Australians to "Look for Good":
 A school-based trial of positive attention training to increase
 children's emotional well-being and prevent anxiety and depression 
- Allison Waters, Griffith University, Vic.

For more information about these programs,
 or to sign up to receive the prevention email newsletter,

The Project - 
We plan to replace 1.5 km of corroded pipeline

 collapsed concrete storage facility with a corrugated iron tank.
We plan to raise the necessary funds, provide
 and co-ordinate the volunteer labour to assist the villagers 
 to re-establish their essential water supply. 
100% of funds raised will be spent on the materials
 for the project with the club financing any shortfall.  
The club's volunteers will provide their own travel costs from Australia to Timor Leste.
 The villagers will assist with the project on a volunteer basis
 and will provide undercover camping accommodation.   
 The villagers will regain their fresh water supply essential
 for their good health and wellbeing.   
The club's volunteers will gain firsthand experience working in a developing country.
