GUEST SPEAKER: FAYE HOLMES>

 
Faye Holmes spoke to the club on her concern for some primary school children
Spent many years as Assistant Principal, now retired but now  considers herself a "Fly in - Fly Out" with no responsibilities, but looking at things differently..
Although great things are happening in the world, Australia and Numurkah there have been many changes over the last 10 years. Children growing up before they should, seeing and doing things they should not in disengaged families. Children should be children but are growing up as adults dealing with family stress, agitation and neglect. Many have health issues, anger, lack of ego.
There is a need for family support. The Smith Family and St Vinnies, Lions and Rotary give support.
Many families do not have money for sporting clubs membership, sports uniforms, education trips or camps. 
A child is not born bad, but are being brought up under horrific circumstances.
"Takes a village to raise a child".
