The initial uptake of shirt and cap purchases last year was ok but not overwhelming. It is now very important that as many Rotarians AND Businesses, Mum's and Dad's & absolutely ANYBODY that can wear a shirt and/or cap be seen every Friday in a Purple Shirt / Cap.
We must continue to raise the profile of this Awareness Program across the State of Queensland - others are tackling the rest of Australia. The rest of the world will follow when we succeed in Australia!!!! In my opinion this should be the next Polio sized Project on Australian Rotary's radar.
Latest statistics indicate a considerable worsening of the DV scourge from one woman dying every nine days from a DV incident (excluding DV related suicides) in calendar 2023 to one woman every 3.4 days to November 30 2024 (11 month period - 98 deaths). Again excluding DV suicides.
Attached please find a flyer and order form to enable you to hopefully make a choice to purchase a shirt and/or a cap. The prices thereon you will note do not include freight. RC Cooroy holds a stock of shirts and caps which I maybe able to purchase from them (hopefully no freight). That will depend whether or how much they had to pay for freight when they made their purchase.
I think the worst case scenario would be a extra $1.50 to the costs shown on the Flyer.

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOUR DECISION IS MADE TO MAKE A PURCHASE:
- Send me an email by 20th December to let me know what you want ie Polo / Tee/ Cap - Multicolour or White Print, Mens or Ladies and importantly your size. E: greig.leearcher@gmail.com
- I will collate, decide whether we need to purchase direct from the supplier or RC Cooroy.
- I will then email all who make an order with cost to you and details of the Club account to credit for the end cost.
I'd like to thank the Members who have already purchased a shirt / cap and invite them to purchase another shirt / cap for somebody who shares our passion to first stem the tide of DV and then hopefully reduce it to less epidemic proportions. (although one life lost is one too many)
I'd also like to thank the four Members who last night completed an order form and also recognise the impact of DV.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Hope to hear from you soon.
