Reaching out to Other Clubs
One of the benefits of Regionalisation is expected to be better relations and more cooperation with other clubs in the area. One practical way we can do this is supporting events run by other Clubs. The Rotary Club of Hawthorn Lift the Lid lunch on 25 October at Kooyong is a signature event for Hawthorn which we can support. There are details elsewhere in this bulletin, however Past President Mark Howlett is looking to organize a table. Let him know as soon as possible.
Sumba Eye Program
The SEP has been a hallmark program of our Club for many years ably administered by Mark Ellis in conjunction with Kew Rotary. Quite a few of our members have made the journey to see for themselves. Our signature event this year will be a fundraiser for SEP to be held on Friday 22 November. Information will be circulated in the near future, but I suggest that you mark the date in your diary. If anyone has suggestions for sponsorship or auction items, they will be most welcome.
