Neuroendocrine Cancer - Hazel's Story

Our goal for the evening talk at the Bellarine Women's Network was to raise money for Neuroendocrine Cancer Australia and help our President, Hazel Ingram, in her fundraising efforts for research into this rare cancer.

Bellarine Wholefoods

If you haven’t visited Bellarine Wholefoods – this is what you will find at the beautiful store. 500 items in store and online, pretty much anything you would keep in your pantry. 70-80 % of items are Australian grown, free from chemical pesticides and preservatives. They source from 70 different suppliers, 20 of which are local to the area.

Share The Dignity

Our wonderful speaker was Jessica Patti from the Geelong branch of Share the Dignity - and what an inspiring young woman she is. Jessica works full time, has a young family and still invests her time and energy to volunteer for this amazing organisation.

Bellarine Community Health

Special guest speaker Kai Whyte, Volunteer Coordinator at Bellarine Community Health gave a comprehensive overview of all the services available at BCH. She talked about the history of BCH and present-day activities. Did you know for instance that BCH was the very first community health service in Victoria, and started over 50 years ago? Kai told us about the dental services available at the Point Lonsdale site, which is available for public and private patients.

Bee Keeping on The Bellarine

Have you ever wondered what is involved with bee keeping? Local Apiarist Deb Hadskis joined us at the May 2024 Bellarine Womens' Network get-together to share her extensive knowledge on the subject.
