The Formation of the Rotary Club of Glenferrie -1975
The Rotary Club of Glenferrie is the third Rotary Club to have been sponsored by the Rotary Club of Hawthorn in its locality. The first was the Rotary Club of Camberwell, chartered in 1956, followed by the Rotary Club of Kew in 1967. The idea of canvassing support for a third new club in Hawthorn territory was first discussed early in 1974. Some of the older members of Rotary Hawthorn saw the need for further extending Rotary activity in the area and their opinion was backed up by a request from District Governor Ted Atkinson (1974-75) to examine this idea.
A subcommittee was formed in October 1974 to consider the proposal.
