'The Art of Humanity' delves into the concept of humanity, the spirit of generosity, and the act of caring for those in need. It features inspiring stories and portraits designed to move and motivate. The book showcases 40 portraits, accompanied by their remarkable stories. The forthcoming book puts the spotlight on 22 women and 18 men, depicting over 400 pages of art and storytelling.

![]() Aussie Rules: A Captivating Look, ZOOM
Sep 24, 2024
This is the meeting to show off your best football club scarf, beanie, and more! Graeme Jacobs offers a captivating look back at the evolution of Australian football, reflecting on the memories, passion, and milestones of the game. Graeme played a total of 93 games at the highest level with Melbourne and South Melbouyrne in the VFL during the 1960s. Graeme was member of a Melbourne premiership side in his debut season, lining up at centre half forward in the 1964 CFL Grand Final. This was a remarkable event in VFL/AFL history with Melbourne defeating Collingwood by 4 points in a titanic struggle that went to the wire. He was one of the youngest members of a premiership team having played with the great Ronald Barassi and coached by the legendary Norm Smith. He later struggled to make the team regularly due to injury and and in 1968 crossed to South Melbourne (later becoming the Sydney Swans) for greater opportunities where he played for the next three seasons. Following his playing career he captained and coached Mitcham F.C. to the finals in the Eastern Suburban League and later served as Chairman of Selectors. He also successfully coached Vermont F.C. winning two premierships. He will discuss the many challenges facing footballers at the highest level and reflect on the evolution of our great Australian game. You are invited to join our Zoom meeting to relive the great moments of footy history and drama including Ray Gabelich’s run and Neil Crompton’s match winning goal which made the 1964 Grand Final so memorable. Attendees are invited to wear their team colours to make it a real celebration of the game loved by so many. Rotary Hawthorn began it’s association with Graeme when the Cancer Relay for Life started in Hawthorn under his chairmanship. In those early years our Rotary members walked all through the night to successfully raise funds for cancer research. M.C. Zoom Chairnan Noel Halford Photo Credit: Damien Tait via Unsplash

Julie Armstrong is the Victorian Manager of Hope In A Suitcase. 'Hope in a Suitcase Australia is a non-profit organisation run by volunteers who are incredibly passionate about showing every child who enters the foster care system that they are loved and valued by their community.
We aim to do this by giving them a suitcase of their very own to ensure they have a safe and secure place in which to pack their belongings and take with them wherever their journey may lead.
The suitcases are filled with essential items such as toiletries,underwear, a set of pyjamas and a change of clothing. They also include something to cuddle for the younger children, a toy, a book to read, a journal or colouring-in books and pencils to encourage creativity and provide a distraction away from their turmoil.
In 2021 we provided 3024 suitcases, in 2022; 3817, in 2023; 5013, to worthy children in Australia. Sadly the demand is increasing every year but we will continue to endeavour to provide EVERY child who enters out-of-home care, a suitcase of HOPE of their very own'.
