Karratha Mother’s Day Classic
Registrations are now open for the 2017 Karratha Mother’s Day Classic! With five weeks to go there is still plenty of time to set yourself a personal challenge to walk, run or fundraise, get active, join in a community event and support a good cause. Volunteering is another great way to get involved if you are unable to run or walk on the day.
For the third year in a row we will be entering an Act-Belong-Commit team, which is open to anyone in the community who would like to join. Last year we had 45 people joining in the fun! Select the ‘Karratha Act-Belong-Commit’ team during your registration to receive a FREE Act-Belong-Commit Mother’s Day Classic team shirt to wear on the day. Email your size to gemma.brooks@curtin.edu.au before 3pm Wednesday 12 April to secure your shirt.

National Volunteer Week
National Volunteer Week (NVW) 8-14 May is an annual celebration to acknowledge the generous contribution of our nation’s volunteers. We’re encouraging you all to embrace the NVW theme ‘Give Happy, Live Happy’, as research shows volunteers live happier, healthier lives.
To celebrate we’re hosting a state-wide competition to hear how volunteering keeps you mentally healthy. Enter now at http://bddy.me/2oA2Ihe for the chance to win an iPad. Competition closes Friday 5 May.
To keep up-to-date with local activities and events planned for the week, register your interest at gemma.brooks@curtin.edu.au or keep an eye on the Act-Belong-Commit Karratha and Onslow Facebook pages.

Employment Opportunity
It is with mixed emotions that I announce I will be leaving my position at Mentally Healthy WA to move to Perth later this year. I’ve enjoyed my time working on the Act-Belong-Commit campaign with such a supportive team and will very much miss the Pilbara way of life! Mentally Healthy WA is seeking a dynamic, self-motivated individual with relevant experience in a health promotion or community development role to fill the position of Pilbara Health Promotion Coordinator. If this sounds like the job for you, click here to see the full job advertisement. Applications close 19 April 2017.
