THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO VIEW OUR

PRESENTATION

We are all very lucky to live on the beautiful Central

Coast

But each year the Central Coast

loses some of their most

valuable possessions

No, it’s not our beachesor our rainforests

nor is it our carsour houses or our way of

life.

It’s our YOUNG PEOPLE

Over the last 6 years on the Central Coast 33 young people

have taken their own lives

In fact in Australia we lost more than 2800 young people aged

between 15 and 24 in the same period

Sadly we can’t turn back the clock

But the thing is, this doesn't have to

happen

If we can help these young people early enough

we can reduce the number of kids that make this fatal decision

So in 2011our club

decided to do something about it

The Club launched a program called

SaveOur

Kids from

Suicide

In 2012 we contributed $15,000 to Lifeline to support an awareness

program in schoolsfor Youth Suicide Prevention

This involves teaching year 11 students, their parents, and

teachers to identify other young people who may be contemplating

taking their own lives

This program will also help reduce the incidence of bullying, both

physically and online, which is one of the main causes for the loss of

self esteem in young people.

This was a good start

so now we’ve decided to get serious.

But for us to make a real impact on saving these kids

We need the help of the greater community

So we have formed the

G.N.R. (Gosford North Rotary)

Benefactors Club

We have different levels of annual membership ranging

from

$500To

$10,000

What will you receive if you join us?

Depending on the level of your sponsorship, you will be given

* A prestigious plaque * Tickets to the Benefactors & Beneficiaries

Dinner * Advertising on the Club Website and

Bulletin* Address our members on your business at

one of our club meetings* Your contribution will be highlighted at the B & B dinner

With your support we hope to not only continue to help young

people in trouble, but to reward other young adults to achieve

greater heights. These can include:

* Scholarships*Youth awards

*Training camps* Mentoring

So now you have the choice as to which program you wish to

support.

But mainly you’ll get the satisfaction of helping save the

lives of kids on the Central Coast

Towards the end of the financial year we will hold the GNR Benefactors and Beneficiaries Dinner

where you will be honored for your contribution, and

get to meet the beneficiaries of your kind

sponsorship.

At the end of the day there's a little saying we

believe in…….

"It's not what happens, cause it happens now and

then, it's what we do about it, that’s important in the

end."

So come join us in this enormous fight that we aim to win one day.

So please feel free to contact one of the following members of the

club for more information.
