The weeks seem to be flying by and the team of 23 volunteers, including our other Co-President, Jillian, have safely arrived in the Philippines, and by now will be well into their sight and hearing screening mission. See photos later in this edition of the Buzz.
On Monday night 16 members and family enjoyed a most convivial meal and evening at the Harp Hotel in Kew. Both the Locals and Seniors menus were great value and included a drink. The meals were all delicious; the steak with garlic butter and chips was a very popular choice.
That afternoon I attended the opening of the BCO Art Show at Buoy Pizza in Walpole St, Kew. It is showcasing the works of 10 artists involved with BCO. Dr Monique Ryan MP officially opened the event and two of the BCO community spoke about the importance of this welcoming community in providing them with acceptance, support and the space to heal and grow. One read a poem she had written called Community Heals.
Besides highlighting the art and artists, the art show, which runs throughout October aims to bring attention to the issue of poor mental health (World Mental Health Day is 10 October) and provide information and contact details for support services. See below for this information and keep this information available in your phone or on your frig.
Thank you John and Ruth Pocock for your assiduous collection of recycling - the boot load Jonathan and I collect from you on Monday will be delivered to recycling this week and the money added to club finances - every little bit helps, but the big win is keeping these items out of landfill.

Spring is here and it is the time of year to think about getting outside with your family, friends and club members to participate in our Rotary Walk With Us fundraiser which starts on 1 October.
Please register yourself and your team to participate and fundraise for Rotary’s number one global project being the eradication of polio from the world. Dream up a catchy team name, garner support and start walking, running, cycling or any other movement that you wish.
What a wonderful way to get fit, collaborate and support this wonderful cause.
The Rotary Club of Glenferrie is proud to be celebrating a major milestone this month — our 50th Anniversary of Charter on Tuesday, October 22nd.
Over the past five decades, a strong bond has grown between Rotary clubs in Boroondara through years of working side by side on meaningful humanitarian projects, both locally and internationally. We would be delighted if you and members of your club could join us for this special occasion.
Our clubs have worked together and played together — now let’s celebrate together. The evening promises fun, nostalgia, surprises, laughter, and true Rotary fellowship. Please encourage your members come along and be part of this memorable night.
The work of Rotary begins in the community, and every community has its own unique needs and concerns. While we serve in countless ways, for the month of October our theme is economic and community development.
