2015 WINDERMERE CLASSIC Wednesday 15th April, 2015 The Victoria Golf Club Park Road, Cheltenham Proudly Sponsored by Zagame Automotive
Message from the Chairman In 2015 I would like to welcome back and thank our regular supporters and look forward to introducing many more of you to the Windermere community. Your help last year contributed to Windermere providing vital services to over 14,000 children, families and individuals in our local community.
Welcome to the 2015 Windermere Classic Golf Day. For the past 21 years I have been Chairman of Windermere, and part of the Golf Day since its foundation many years ago. I am extremely passionate about the services Windermere provides and the event which continues to connect business people to their local community through golf. The Windermere Classic continues to grow each year and has been heralded by many as “one of the best”. The event attracts a wide range of businesses from across Melbourne and provides wonderful networking opportunities.
We are calling on your support again so we can continue to provide these services, and make a difference in the lives of those that need it most in our community. Don’t miss your opportunity to be part of this exclusive event – join us on the sandbelt on Wednesday 15th April, for what will be an outstanding day of charity golf.
Carl Strachan, Chairman
About Windermere For over 150 years Windermere has been providing help and resources to people so they can live life to their full potential. Our ultimate goal is to help create strong, connected communities where our services are no longer needed. Today we are proud to be one of the largest independent community service organisations operating solely in Victoria’s South-East. We support individuals who have experienced or are dealing with issues such as physical, emotional and sexual abuse, neglect, violence in the family, lack of housing, have been the victim of a violent crime, are living with a disability, who care for a child with a developmental delay or who just need help to fit in or feel part of their community. Each year Windermere provides more than 14,000 individuals and families, with transformative support through a range of life changing intervention services. Our philosophy is to get in early to make a difference in the lives of individuals, families and our communities.
Help others like Carla Carla Gagliardi was your typical mother, working full time in a good job and paying off a mortgage. But in 2012, her former fiancé, plagued by a gambling addiction and serious debt, attacked her, beating her and leaving her to die on the kitchen floor. Her eight year old son was watching. Days later, critically injured and comatose, her condition had worsened and her family were called to the hospital to say goodbye. But Carla refused to give up. She began the slow road to recovery, however her physical injuries had left her unable to work and provide adequately for her son. Unable to make the repayments, Carla was soon forced to sell her home; it was then she was put in contact with Windermere Child & Family Services. Windermere gave Carla access to temporary housing and critical financial and emotional support and counselling for her and her son. “Windermere provided my son and I with a roof over our heads, time for me to get back onto to my feet and recover. The bills were all paid for by Windermere, a relief when I had absolutely nothing”, said Carla. “Without Windermere…. I shudder to think what could have been. If sharing my story gives Windermere exposure to continue the great work they do, then I can feel like I have given back, even in just a little way”.
