WE WOULD LOVE YOU TO JOIN US!
What are STAR-ACTION doing now?
🌿 You’re Invited!
Join us for an inspiring evening with Dr Dalal Smiley, CEO of Wellsprings for Women Dandenong, as she shares about the organisation’s work empowering and supporting women who have been impacted by migration, family violence, unemployment, mental health and poverty.
Dalal arrived in Melbourne with her family in 1976, seeking refuge after fleeing the civil war in Lebanon. Through this experience, she developed a passion for supporting migrant communities, especially women.
Wellsprings for Women provides holistic wrap-around services to all women, enabling them to pursue and achieve their goals unimpeded by barriers and challenges, such as family violence, poverty, homelessness, mental health or lack of access to childcare.
📅 Tuesday, November 10: Little Chapel Resurrection
🕖 7:00pm
Come along, hear her story, be inspired, and discover how we can make a difference together.
All parishioners are warmly welcome — bring a friend!
Nitrous Oxide, commonly known as Laughing Gas, is being used by young people as a recreational drug. Large canisters of this gas, called Nangs, are readily available across Victoria, including the Keysborough area. They are sold in milkbars, convenience stores etc. and online with home delivery. While this gas has legitimate medical and commercial uses, its deliberate packaging and marketing to young people as a party drug is causing great physical and mental harm and even death. STAR-ACTION prepared a petition requesting more stringent regulations for the sale of nitrous oxide, to ensure it is only available for legitimate commercial and medical purposes.
We asked also that future legislation bans any access to nitrous oxide for recreational drug use
STAR-ACTION has sent the petition signed by 544 parishioners to the Minister for Health Ingrid Stitt MP, as well as to the following MPs: Eden Foster MP (Labor), Gabrielle Williams MP (Labor), Tim Richardson MP (Labor), Meng Heang Tak MP (Labor), Michael Galea MP (Labor), Ann Marie Hermans MP (Liberal) and Matthew Kirwan MP (Greens).
