On Tuesday 9th of May, Dr Suresh Marcandan the Chair for Australia Rotary Health District 9800, came to visit the Rotary Club of Glenferrie to talk about the program and thank the club for its continual support.

Suresh gave a brief history of the ARH organisation and explained what it has achieved so far. Suresh said Australian Rotary Health is one of the largest independent funders of mental health research within Australia. Australian Rotary Health provides funding towards research grants, fellowships and PhD scholarships, focused on finding preventative and curative solutions for mental illness in young Australians. From 2023, our funding focus will narrow to the mental health of children aged 0-12.

The Boroondara Farmers Market celebrated its 20th Anniversary on Saturday March 18th with a bumper market, special attractions and distinguished guests as residents thronged to Patterson Reserve for this very special occasion. Family attractions included face painting, a magician extraordinaire, a balloonologist (you had to be there), the most amazing magician, hoola hoops, a man on stilts blowing bubbles - the fun never stopped. The turnstiles never stopped turning as crowds poured in, which included the Member for Hawthorn, John Pesutto, and the Mayor of Boroondara, Cr Felicity Sinfield. 
 
On a windy but warm day, stallholders did a brisk trade as families stocked up on fresh produce. Cr. Sinfield gave a brief address at an after-market bbq, thanking those who established the Market and have ensured its continued success over the past 20 years. The market is in good hands and the many new faces seen at Patterson Reserve last Saturday augers well for the next twenty years. Congratulations to the Boroondara Farmers Market, the City of Boroondara, the Rotary Club of Glenferrie and our wonderful farmers. It was an absolutely splendid day!

As Rotarians, we know that when we engage people in meaningful, convenient and fun hands-on volunteering, we demonstrate that Rotarians are indeed “People of Action”. In mid-September, this message found an even wider audience when Rotary Inner Melbourne Emergency Relief Network (RIMERN) volunteer, Ros McMaster was announced as the Westfield Local Hero for the Airport West Shopping Centre, winning $20,000 for RIMERN towards the cost of its first van!

Rotary celebrated 100 years of making a difference in Australia and New Zealand in 2021. Join with us as we embark on our next 100 years of service to our community.
