UN International Peace Day observance and A Sunday Family Dinner
What: A shared exploration into individual identity, 'the other', perceptions of obstacles that drive us apart and invisible ties that bring us together. Develop a shared definition of family, home and achieving greater benefits from getting along. When this gets easy, this is where happiness lives.
Why: A Glen Eira observance of United Nations International Day of Peace annual aspiration, 21 September 2015. The concept is too big for any one person in little bitty Glen Eira so probably a waste of time. What do you think?

PPLS | The Good Greek Girl
Author talk with Maria Katsonis
Thursday 17 September, 6.30 – 7.30pm[Edited extract from public address]
Maria Katsonis is the good Greek girl who grew up above her parents’ Melbourne milk bar and shared a bedroom with her yiayia – until university, where she discovered her rebellious side.
Maria embraced her independence and aimed high, attending Harvard University and graduating with a Masters of Public Administration – however, five years later she found herself alone on a bed in a psych ward fighting for her life.
Experiencing a complete mental breakdown that shattered her professional and personal identity, Maria is now a senior executive in the Victorian Department of Premier and Cabinet, an ambassador for beyondblue and advocate with the Australia Council for Mental Health. While she now lives with a chronic mental illness, Maria Katsonis leads an active and purposeful life.
" ... generous, intelligent and loving. The world needs the rare kindness Katsonis is able to show to both herself and others." The AgeWhere: St Kilda Library
Bookings: Please book online through Eventbrite.

ZBR | REPORT | Dinner Fundraisers for Nepal Earthquakes | Sat 18 July | Sat 15 August | 2015
18th of July fundraiser for Nepal was booked out quickly and was a great success. As so many people missed out organisers quickly set about offering another evening for Saturday 15th August 2015.
Around 80 people came from all walks of life joined together each night to have a wonderful evening of fun and laughter. In the spirit of generosity enough money was raised to build temporary schools in Nepal's most needy areas plus provide safe drinking water to the children, teachers and parents. This was a great effort. The total of the two events was just under $15,000 to Nepal. Thank you everyone for the contributions.
The venue, food, prizes, all of Organisers' time, skills and donations were offered free of charge with 100% proceeds going to Nepal.

PWR | Reflecting on Racism and Social Justice
[Edited extract from PWR's Parliament Trustee Mr. Robert Henderson]
Overcoming racism and violence, a shared offering of universal wisdom from the Baha'i faith.
Robert's moving essay addresses a society in crisis after a series of hate crimes and assaults were committed against sacred spaces in the United States.
