Notes from the President.
Last year’s Rotary theme was “Unite For Good” and one way of interpreting this was to work with our cluster club partners with social activities and projects. We have an association with the Rotary Club of Kew, and we have continued that this year with them supporting our trivia night, and therefore us supporting theirs and also collaborating with the film night. On 20 September we will have a combined ceremony at Victoria Park to celebrate International Day of Peace at the site of our peace poles and then continue to the Harp Hotel for lunch.
Another collaboration is with the Rotary Club of Balwyn and the Camberwell Market, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary., Balwyn Rotary will be having a celebratory dinner on 22 September and there is a flyer in our bulletin. Please support Balwyn and the market by booking a table.
This week we also collaborated with the Maling Road Traders Association at the Auto Classico event and this proved to be extremely successful. There were thousands of people admiring the amazing cars, we handed out maps and people recognised the Rotary brand and donated to our club. Hopefully we will be able to be involved next year and hopefully we will involve more members. It was a fun day.
The big event of course coming up very soon is the generational debate at Auburn Bowls Club on 14 September, and this will be proceeded by a barbecue at Keiser in Malvern two days earlier. All of these events are fundraising which allows us to donate to the projects of our choice. Please book for the debate, and don’t leave it until the last minute
In other Rotary news, the proposal for redistricting has passed.
There is a lot happening in our club and hopefully you are finding this interesting and stimulating. We are always up for ideas as to how to make your involvement in the club a better one.
Have a good week.
Cheers,
Jillian
