Welcome to our vibrant and relaxed Rotary Club, where community spirit thrives alongside a sense of ease and camaraderie. Picture a place where laughter mingles with purpose and friendships are forged through shared experiences and meaningful endeavours.
Last week a few of our members enjoyed a wonderful evening with members of the Rotary Clubs of Rowville-Lysterfield, Casey and Springvale City. Alma Reynolds presented on the topic of Rotary Foundation and the importance of supporting Foundation. Alma was interesting, passionate and did a fantastic job at explaining why clubs and individuals should support Foundation. I encourage all members to become an 'Every Rotarian, Every Year' donor to Foundation, for more information go to Donate | My Rotary or speak to our Foundation Chair Louise Carter.
