Braeside Park is a large environmental park of 295 hectares. It is bordered by Waterways, in the south, and Dingley Village, on the North. The parks natural environment includes wetlands, heathlands, and red gums. It's a great spot for bird/duck watching, bunny watching, and if you're lucky you may spot an echidna! Here's a Vic Parks guide to more info on the park... www.parks.vic.gov.au/search?search=braeside+park This is a slightly longer walk than we're used to but the walking is easy, the tracks are flat and wide plus there's heaps of shade. We'll meet at the Swallows car park, the 1st car park you come to off Lower Dandenong Rd. From there we'll walk through Braeside Park for about 40 mins enjoying the beautiful flora and fauna ending up at Governor Road, then over to Waterways for a coffee and chat at the Nest cafe. I can be contacted on 0409219524 if you have any questions, Cheers, Gillian.

One day up... the next day down. When you suddenly start making mistakes, it is caused by something. When you feel happy and, for no apparent reason, suddenly start feeling down, somebody made this happen. If you have experienced a roller coaster of emotions or ups and downs in your life, someone around you could be suppressing you- squashing you or trying to make you smaller. There are specific types of personality- those who wish people well and those who are ill-intentioned. Today's free meetup class is about how to handle the causes behind your misfortunes. With the right knowledge applied you can change your life for the better, make those ups and downs a thing of the past and aspire to your highest goals. Know Yourself, Know Life.

We have been handling any type of "pain" (pain is loss) we try not to think about them and move on.... but we often are anxious and can't control our emotions. We may even have panic attacks, and we do not know why they occur when everything we are doing or where thinking about is nothing to panic about. This can affect everything we do or the plans we make or suddenly do not want to pursue. We are unable to concentrate at study or work; our health is getting worse no matter what it is we do. How to let go of past emotional baggage that causes bad health, stress and anxiety? Find out today that there are practical solutions. Learn how to have control of your emotions, how to make intelligent decisions for personal and professional life and to get your motivation back! Free entry, Free Parking Ask For Pam or Michel

Our monthly Northern social is held at Moon Dog World in Preston. Moon Dog World is a brewery, restaurant and bar with a lagoon, waterfall, hidden tiki bar and much more! Atmosphere is on the family restaurant side (dogs and kids a plenty!) but still a fun tropical style environment. Food is better than standard pub fare with exotic flavours and generous serves. Fun for pretty much everyone, so come along and enjoy it with us. Do you live in the Northern or perhaps even the Western suburbs and are interested in catching-up with like minded people? Come along for dinner and meet some friendly people. Our group is informal and open to all. We pay for own food and drinks individually and there is no charge for the organisation of the events. It is a great opportunity to meet others with an emphasis on fun and supporting each other. So whether you choose to come at the start for dinner or later on for drinks, we hope to see you. If something comes up and you can no longer make it, then you can easy change your RSVP to not going. I am looking forward to catching up with those who can make it, Chris

🛸🛸 **The Hitchhiker's guide to redundancy: a 'mostly harmless' manual for surviving the professional void** 🛸🛸 What do you do when your career is unexpectedly demolished to make way for a corporate bypass? Too many professionals treat redundancy like the end of the universe, spiralling into the bureaucratic nebula of unemployment without a map. This session chronicles a six-month odyssey through the unknown, transforming a vulnerable period of professional upheaval into a practical, comedic survival guide. **What you’ll hear:** ✨ **How not to panic:** How to steady your ship when the corporate ground disappears beneath you ✨ **What to pack:** Cultivating the core resilience and mindsets needed to navigate sudden career transitions ✨ **Deploying your networking Babel Fish:** Translating your experience into a language the market actually understands ✨ **Navigating the bureaucratic nebula:** Managing the identity shift, the job search logistics, and the administrative void without losing your sanity ✨ **Embarking on your next chapter:** Turning an unexpected full stop into a launching pad for a career that actually fits your trajectory As long as you're packing resilience to brace the knocks (and your sense of humour), you’ll never truly be lost in space. A vulnerable, funny, and no-BS roadmap to surviving the void and finding your way back to solid ground. **👍🏼 The Speaker** ✨ **Alex Clarke** is a Product and UX designer with over 8 years of experience, who after spending years building a successful professional track record, found himself facing the ultimate corporate plot twist: sudden redundancy. Alex’s story is a highly common and relevant reality for many professionals today, as organisations face mounting economic pressures to cut costs and restructure. Alex speaks candidly, sharing raw, hilarious and deeply practical truths about what it takes to pivot after a setback. By turning his own unexpected transition into a survival guide for the current job market, Alex proves that losing a job doesn't mean losing your direction. Alex’s story has a happy ending too- as he’s happily found a new job as an Incubation Designer for Coles. Down, down, prices are down. Please. 🙏 📌 **The details:** * **Date:** 6 pm, 11 June * **Host:** Melbourne Design Thinking Meetup * **Special Guests:** Alex Clarke * **Refreshments included:** Pizza and fizz!

Dress cute, bring your positive energy, and get ready for a fun evening of laughter, music, and rooftop vibes overlooking Dublin! Please RSVP early so we can plan seating accordingly.

**On Freestyle night** \- just bring a bottle to share\. There is NO formal wine tasting like on other weeks\. Door charge is $10 \(cash or Venmo only please\)\. We may have some left over wines to clear out\! Glasses are provided\. Take Care\. See you there\. **Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby. I am told that the Chase parking lot is safe after hours. **Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the EMPTY glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please do not make me hunt down your empty glass. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass! (ps - empty the glasses into the sink, not the trash ... please) **Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing. **Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions. **After the lights go out**: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, if you still haven’t had enough of us, it is typical for a group to get together and go to a local eatery for food and/or drinks or coffee. Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends. Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***, **Red 1 Realty** *Your Hilliard Wine Club Host*
