President's Message Dear Members,   Your attendance and support for our club ZOOM meetings has been great.   Apart from a few technical glitches here and there we have been able to stay connected, share club news and have our guest speaker presentations.  We are looking at ways to increase your participation in the meetings and if you have any suggestions please email me on thelma.hutchison@gmail.com      A new idea I would like to promote as a regular feature is sharing your recommendations on books, Netflix or Foxtel films, TV series, and documentaries. Email me with your recommendations including a short synopsis. To get the ball rolling I have a Netflix recommendation....   Read more...

They are of course in the 'Member Area', however to make it easier to check, direct links have now been put up under the menu item 'Member Resources' on the front page. You will still have to Login to access them. Read more by clicking on the link below.   ClubRunner is more accessible for members to use and changes the way we use our website. No need to ask the Club Secretary, or the Bulletin Editor or even the Webmaster to do things for you with the inevitable delay. You can do it yourself without delay. There are plenty of help articles, or try this trick. In your Google search bar type: "ClubRunner how do I ......"?  Try this one: "ClubRunner how do I send an email"? Read more... There's Never Been a Better Time to Donate to The Rotary Foundation The Rotary Foundation is Rotary's charity. From an initial donation of US$26.50 in 1917, the Rotary Foundation has distributed more than US$4 billion in support of community projects throughout the world, the largest of which is the eradication of polio. Projects initiated by the Rotary Club of Glenferrie have benefited significantly from Foundation grants over the past few years. Donations to the Foundation can be made lo, but are converted into US$ when received by the Foundation. The exchange rate used is an arage rate over a period, so the value of A$ donations will decline over the next few months. So now is time to donate to get the best exchange rate available.   Click on this link find out how you can donate to The Rotary Foundation. Read more... Bread Run - Change to  PickUp Time Liz Andrews has advised that there has been a change to the timing of the Bread Run, due to changes in the opening hours for Bakers Delight for the foreseeable future. We must now collect the bread at 5:00pm, sharp. So don't leave it until 6:00pm, or you'll be toast!   If you have volunteered and this change of time creates a problem for you, please do contact Liz directly (you can reach her quickly through the ClubRunner App!) Whole Lotta Trivia Coming Up What better way to spend an evening than dialling into a ZOOM get-together at the Rotary Club of Glenferrie for a bit of gossip and a whole lot of fun. The club has scheduled a Fellowship Night for the first Tuesday in May, featuring a Trivia Quiz led by internationally recognised quizmaster Cheryl Pisterman, who has experience in this field. It should be heaps of fun, so bring a drink, bring a dictionary but most of all bring a friend because you may need some help. And bring yourself too of course.   Fellowship via ZOOM Tuesday May 5th, 2020 7:15pm - 8:30pm Lockdown Laughter These days it seems medical issues are dominating conversation, so the following guide to medical terminology is offered to members to promote understanding.
