AG, Tex Pipke from the Eumundi Rotary Club was recently presented with a district award for Rotarian of the Year for 23-24, for his work with the Rotarians 4 Mental Health (R4MH) Say No to Domestic and Family Violence campaign. Tex and the R4MH committee have been bringing the ‘Say No’ message to the Sunshine Coast, organising events such as a vintage car convoy and public meetings to spread awareness about domestic family violence. Members of the community, businesses and their staff have also been encouraged to wear ‘Say No’ shirts each Friday to raise awareness. R4MH are planning to take the ‘Say No’ message to schools with the Speak Up Now (SUN) student program. The program aims to teach mutual respect as the guiding principle for young minds.
