The Glenferrie Rotarian September 12th 2022 (Sep 12, 2022)

President's Message

Posted by Teresa Liu

Putting our members first: A couple of weeks ago, District 9800 received the official membership numbers for 2021-2022. For the first time in living memory, the district’s membership on 30 June 2022 was 1,943, falling to below 2,000 membe

rs which indicated that the majority of the 67 clubs in the district continue to struggle to attract and retain members: the average size of memberships of Rotary clubs in the district is 29. Rotary Glenferrie is one of the few lucky ones who came out ahead with 55 active members and nine honorary members as of today. Thank you to the membership committee and all club members, for your efforts to get us to this situation.

Rotary Glenferrie Votes "YES" to Regionalisation

At the club meeting on August 30th, members of the Rotary Club of Glenferrie voted unanimously to support the Zone 8 Regionalisation Project, recognising it as a major opportunity to make changes that will help ensure the future of Rotary. The meeting heard from Co-Chair of the Regionalisation Taskforce PDG Peter Frueh on how the project aims to better support clubs, create leadership opportunities for members, improve the efficiency and effectiveness of Rotary projects and build a stronger Rotary brand.

RORP Consortium Dismantles Hilda St Playground

Posted by Geoff Widmer

On Monday 29^th August, the RORP Cluster lead by Camberwell Rotary, and with the participation of two Glenferrie Rotarians- Mark Howlett and Rob Winspear, dismantled the Hilda St Playground.

It was a very successful operation as we had 11 volunteer Rotarians from Camberwell, Glenferrie, Canterbury and the Hawthorn Clubs to complete this task. Again, it was done in a very collaborative spirit and the Clubs worked well together.

Mark was also prominent as he was the expert for difficult nut and bolt removal combinations.

RIMERN Homemaker Voucher Vino

Posted by Alex Marshall

After its successful Van Rouge campaign, RIMERN is embarking on a new campaign - marketing quality wines towards funding a new delivery van to streamline operations.

The new campaign will reward RIMERN clients by providing photos of the donated goods in situ, in their new homes, and on RIMERN social media. This activity promotes RIMERN's services and demonstrates to clients, volunteers and donors (stakeholders), the quality of the goods available: a positive and inspiring image.

It’s Spring: time for a new life and a new beginning.

The new RIMERN wine promotion is called “Homemaker Voucher Vino”. Again, it will offer quality wines at a special cost. Funds raised will contribute to the Rewards scheme for the RIMERN clients who participate in the social media campaign. Funds will also contribute to the much-needed delivery van.

The MUNA Teams from Siena College and Sacre Couer

Our MUNA Experience

Rotary Glenferrie sponsored two teams at the Model United Nations Assembly (MUNA) in 2022. Come along and hear from the students and teachers who represented their schools. Just what was it like for them? Did they enjoy it? Did they learn anything new? Has it changed their views? MUNA is a signature project of the Youth Service Committee.
