A PATHWAY TO HOPE – The Pindari Restorative Continuum
Phil de Vos Vice-Chairman - Pindari MinistriesAddiction, broken relationships, hopelessness – many people are just one step away, one event away, one day away. We all know someone that needs a hand up, yet not all people have the opportunity.
Pindari Restoration House, operated by registered not-for-profit Pindari Ministries Inc, offers a voluntary longer-term residential program for men who are serious about change in their lives. Established in 2015, Pindari has touched the lives of over 50 men directly, and thousands of people indirectly, providing a pathway to hope.
Come along to hear about extending the hand of hope & help to courageous but less fortunate men of our city.

The Race to Zero Emissions- Is It Achievable?
Peter Fitzpatrick, AO, AM(Mil), JP, FSAE, GAICD
The Race to Zero Emissions- Is It Achievable?
Net zero emissions is an overall balance between greenhouse gas emissions released into the atmosphere and taken out of the atmosphere. These emissions trap heat in the atmosphere, heating the planet for years and years and years resulting in climate change.
The end goal is to balance the scales again and restore the global climate to pre-climate change levels. To get there, we need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to zero then repair past harm by drawing down past emissions.
There is much debate whether we can ever hope to achieve Zero Emission. Peter Fitzpatrick will engage in this debate at our next City East Rotary breakfast.
Peter is widely respected and recognized for his leadership of two peak bodies; as the Chief Executive Officer for the legal profession and the motor industry in Western Australia. Prior to this he had a distinguished 20 year military career. In 1997 he was a strategic adviser to the then Prime Minister John Howard. Since then, Peter has been a leader in business and community as a board director, mentor, coach, advisor and advocate across not-for-profit, government and private sectors.
