25.01.2022 Merry Christmas everyone Have a Safe and Happy Christmas time

25.01.2022 I'm very excited and proud to announce our clubs decision to join the Drought Relief. We decided to "adopt a town", St. Arnaud, thought to be the epicentre of the drought in Victoria. This voucher program has received a lot of media coverage since its inception in Queensland (Roma). We have applied for and received a RAWCS District grant. Also, we were delighted when we approached the Balwyn Rotary Club, our mother club, and they agreed to come on board as partners. We will... initially distribute 800 x $50 vouchers through our other partner, the Rotary Club of St. Arnaud. These vouchers have the potential of delivering a seven fold multiplier effect. We will participate in a series of projects over a period of time to help the community in providing a holistic approach to meeting their needs. We want to let them know they are not alone. On the 2nd of Feb. The Young Farmers held their Harvest Festival and about ten of our members and partners decided to attend and offer assistance where we could. This was great fun and we helped set up and sell. Our members were also instrumental in the sellout of all Raffle Tickets, beer and wine. It was a Great afternoon. We have already received strong support from the broader community. Xavier college has made a substantial donation similarly the North Balwyn Mens Shed and Trinity Manor (the residents wanted to help those affected by drought and ran a fundraiser specifically for the purpose). These wonderful people have all offered further assistance. These are the reasons we should be proud to be Rotarians. In the future we will be looking for other Rotary Clubs to try and expand the programme to surrounding towns.

23.01.2022 The Members and Associates of the Rotary Club of North Balwyn are saddened at the passing of Paul Fitz, PHF, Charter Member, Past President and wonderful contributor for 40 years. Our heartfelt thoughts are with Sue and Family on the passing of this excellent Leader.

23.01.2022 Rotary in Action!!! Sausage sizzling for the Christmas Party for Very Special Kids. 4,000 sausages cooked and served, a mammoth effort by all. The sun came out and the kids had a ball which was the main thing. We looked the part in our Christmas aprons...........

23.01.2022 Rotary North Balwyn are piloting a new program with 8 students and 2 Rotarians departing for three weeks in Mongolia. The students will attend two summer camps and enjoy a week of home hospitality. They left last night with Bill and Estelle in charge. We will welcome a team from Mongolia at the beginning of next year.

23.01.2022 An update from our Rotarians in Mongolia: Here we are in Nairamdal Camp. The students do not have access to WiFi and they are kept busy with the camp program. This camp is on a much bigger scale than Nars camp. Yesterday we had the typical Mongolian experience of travelling to the Ghengiis Khan statue then onto a family living in a ger on the steppes. A wonderful experience for all of us.

22.01.2022 The Christmas Fare is happening again on December 9th!! The Rotary Club of North Balwyn's Partner's are working diligently at preparing Christmas goodies for all. Look for the stall outside the Commonwealth Bank from 9:00 am in the North Balwyn Village.

13.01.2022 The Rotary Club of North Balwyn partners are running a Cake Stall as a fundraising for "Days for Girls" next Friday 9 Dec outside the Commonwealth Bank in Doncaster Road, North Balwyn. As my cooking skills are somewhat less than zero I have experimented with cup cakes made out of the surplus face washers donated for this project and decorated for Christmas. They look bright and cheerful and are something different and will hopefully sell and raise money for this very worthy cause!!!

09.01.2022 Are you interested in experiencing a different culture? The short-term (three weeks) exchange with Mongolia, offered by the Rotary Club of North Balwyn, may be just what you are looking for. The exchange will take place during the school holidays in July 2017 plus one extra week. Applications are invited from 15 - 17 year olds (as at 1st July 2017), with a sense of adventure who attend school or participate in a community group (sport, guides, scouts, church, etc.) within th...e municipality of Boroondara. Applicants will need to make a significant contribution to the cost of participating and there will be opportunities to take part in fundraising activities to help defray personal costs. The Rotary Club will also subsidise successful applicants. The families of applicants are encouraged to actively participate in the program by hosting young Mongolians who come on exchange in the summer of 2018. Application period will be closing shortly. Interviews for applicants and parents will be held over December and early January 2017, and successful applicants will be notified by the beginning of the 2017 School year.
