On Wednesday 14th May our guest speaker was Nick Packham.
 
Nick spoke about his 35 year career in the Disability Services Sector spending 29 years in Government with NSW Department of Aging, Disability and Homecare, to becoming the CEO of not-for-profit organisation, Vivability Ltd in 2016.  This organisation is now a major provider of NDIS services in the Central West.
 
Nick is passionate about skills development within the disability sector as a pathway to ensuring providers meet the demand for the range and quality of services from people with disabilities.
 
The Vivability Cafe in Keppel Street is a fantastic example of how lives can be changed for people with a disability,  All employees are on award wages.  
 
Members of Bathurst Daybreak were also excited to learn that Vivability had just commenced work on the old Bathurst Ambulance Station where the ground floor will be set up as Cafe during the day and a cocktail bar after dark.
 
 
  
"If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door!" - Milton Berle
 
The quote emphasizes the importance of taking initiative and creating your own opportunities rather than waiting for them to come to you.
It suggests that individuals should not blame fate for a lack of opportunities but instead take proactive steps to forge their own paths.
This mindset encourages self-determination and the pursuit of personal goals.
 
Pauline presented a synopsis of the Draft Community Plan
 
THE DRAFT BATHURST COMMUNITY STRATEGIC PLAN
2025 -2045
All documentation is available on Bathurst Regional Council's your Say
website.
Why is it important? Those of you who may still be here in 2025 to see the results, please throw a party to see if it passed the pub test.
Documents such as the Draft Community Strategic Plan evolve as each new council reviews and updates what has been achieved by the former council and builds on the next stage. Following the public review for this
draft which closed last week, it will be endorsed at a meeting on the 18th June.
 
Built on the 2040 Bathurst Community Engagement plan, the Community Strategic Plan outlines the community's priorities, vision and strategic directions for the future.
 
International Toast - by Graham Tyson
  1. The Copenhagen International Rotary Club (CIRC) was chartered in 1995, and is the only fully English-speaking club in Copenhagen. Copenhagen International Rotary Club is a club for international expats in Copenhagen and for Danes with international inclinations.  Our club is a vibrant group of professionals and social activists from over 15 countries. Together, we create impactful projects, host inspiring events, and share great conversations.
  2. Meets at the Axel Guldsmeden Hotel on Monday evenings from 5.30 to 8.00. From 6 -7.15 they have a speaker and then a networking dinner ($65).

Serving our Community

Members of the Rotary Club of Bathurst Daybreak were pleased to help out at the Family Fun Day on Saturday 17 May at the Adventure Park.  Members worked hard the Friday evening before hand to slice up all sorts of fruit and on Saturday morning placed a fruit salad into individual serving bowls to give away.

The Bathurst Family Day Out is held to celebrate the importance of families in the community and celebrate the value they bring to the fabric of the whole community.

The day is organised by Centacare Central West and Orana.
