A story to inspire & educate

Domestic violence survivor set to share her personal journey

“Domestic

As things have turned out, the May 22 event at The Commodore on the Park, will be hosted and funded by all three Mount Gambier based Rotary clubs, and will kickstart what is going to be 12 months of all Rotary Clubs focussing on family violence beginning in July.

“It will be the perfect launch,” Sherril said. “We had already started to lock in this event with Simone before the incoming District Governor proposed the idea of all the Rotary clubs working together on one theme, rather than the usual separate focus of each club, and domestic and family violence is going to be that theme.”

Rotary Mount Gambier Lakes is already looking into online awareness courses and other educational opportunities they can support in the domestic and family violence space.

Simone’s story will be told at the Monday, May 22 dinner at $45 a head (plus booking fee) for a two course dinner at The Commodore and you can book online at HUMANITIX.

Simone’s story dates back to 2012 when she suffered a horrific domestic violence attack at the hands of a perpetrator who would not take “no” for an answer.
