Dear Fellow Rotarians,
 
Wow, what an amazing night we all had last Wednesday at the Shangri-La Restaurant.
Thank you so much to Kam Pow for organising the Chinese New Year Celebration and Fundraiser for The Monash Children's Cancer Centre.
 
This is what Rotary is all about!  Getting together, enjoying fellowship and making a difference.  The food, as always was absolutely delicious.
 
The most exciting news is that we raised $8,305.00 - thanks to the generosity of dinner guests and some of our Rotarians and friends who were unable to be at the event.
 
I am hopeful we can increase the funds for donation to the Children's Cancer Centre to $10,000 from further donations and extra funding from our Club.
 
Our next meeting on Tuesday 14th February will be at the Dandenong Club at 6.30 for a 7pm start. 
I have asked Howard De Zylva to do a 'Behind the Badge' and also to give us an update on the proposed Sri Lankan Orphanage Project.
I will be giving an update on our 'Rotary Year' to date.
 
If you haven't seen your emails lately, please take the time to check your inbox. 
Kam and I have sent a couple regarding the fundraiser and I have also sent an email with information regarding our visit to RC Rowville Lysterfield on Tuesday 28th February.
 
Please keep your eye on our Program of events on ClubRunner or on the left side of this newsletter 'The Gateway'.
 
On a final note, please take the time to respond to events whether you are attending or not.
It's simple to click on the event and register.
 
 
Kind regards,

Leanne

Annual Chinese New Year Club Fundraiser
What a fabulous night last week at the annual Chinese New Year's fundraiser dinner with 100 people in attendance. A big thanks again
to Kam and Christine Pow for the organisation. Great food, great company and a great cause. The night raised over $8000 which will
go to the Monash Childrens Cancer Centre. We are planning to invite a representative to one of our meetings to present the proceeds.

Clean Up Australia Day

Clean Up Australia Day

Can you imagine the good we could do, if all of Australia came together on one day and took practical action to improve the environment? What a difference we could make! Let's see how many people we can bring together on Sunday 5 March and make a real impact...

 

It's hard to believe that what was started over thirty years ago, by Ian Kiernan, AO, an "average Australian" who had a simple idea to make a difference in his own backyard has now become the nation's largest community-based environmental event, held annually on the first Sunday in March.

 

Over twenty million Aussies have stepped up over the years, donating their time to improve the environment. Registration for Clean Up Australia Day is free for communities and schools (businesses pay a small fee) and this ensures that not only are you covered by our public liaibility insurance, but you'll receive a free Clean Up Australia kit.

 
 
Rtn Anthony Brown is registering our Club to participate in  Clean Up Australia Day. Our area will be Rotary Park in Dandenong.
More details to follow up. Please ensure you register using Club Runner.
