The document provides information about Bungarribee House, the first land grant in Blacktown, NSW, and details from a Rotary Club meeting. Key points: - Bungarribee House was built in 1825 from imported bricks and stone with local timber, without nails in its construction. - The Rotary Club meeting discussed welcoming guests and students, hearing reports from committee chairs, and upcoming community events they would assist with in September. - DG Keith Roffey invited the club to the official launch of a $200,000 project to upgrade the adolescent wing of the Children's Hospital at Westmead, a legacy of the three Sydney Rotary districts.

our guest speakers
Don Mackenzie and
Thomas Soe from
Breakthrough.
Don spoke about
the core values of
Breakthrough
whose main office is
corner Main St and
Sunnyholt Road
Blacktown.
Core values are respect, resilience, integrity, & inclu-
sion in the community.
They are a not for profit organisation. Their main focus
is on employment. In 2011 They were the winner of
National HR awards in the public sector.
Breakthrough offers their service programs to indige-
nous community and offer disability services through-
out NSW.
They have transition to work programs and are heavily
involved with Mentoring programs. A lot of their work
is done in the field.
Creative Spirit is a corporate partnership offering work
opportunities to the disabled.
Breakthrough also assist employers with employment
and training clients.
They are not a sheltered workshop situation they are
about having people off benefits and in the community.
Program chair Rita presented both speakers with a cer-
tificate of appreciation and President Daniel presented
Don with our club banner. Don Mckenzie spoke a little
about Penrith Valley Rotary—how the four way test has
similar values to Breakthrough.
Kids!
When Dad came home he was astonished to see Alec sitting on a
horse, writing something. "What on earth are you
doing there?" he asked his son.
"Well, the teacher told us to write an essay on our
favourite animal. That's why I'm here and that's why
Susie's sitting in the goldfish bowl!"
Editors quote for this month:
A man never stands as tall as when he kneels to help a child."
