President's Message
Posted by Teresa Liu
A Happy New Year to all Glenferrie Rotarians, partners, and friends. I hope you all enjoyed the festive season and had a fun and relaxing time with your families during the Christmas and New Year celebrations.
 
Like many of you, my fellow Rotarians, New Year has always brought us another chance to set things right and open up a new chapter in our lives; just as it will for the Rotary Club of Glenferrie. What would be a new chapter for Glenferrie in 2023? What will our club achieve in the next six months, and how? The club will hold its first SAG (Strategic Action Group) meeting in 2023 next week and discuss these issues.

See you at the Club Picnic - January 31st 
Wake Up Wake Up! Time to wake up from summer slumber and restart the Rotary year with a friendly get together in the cool of a summer evening. Our club will kick off this momentous year with a picnic and barbecue at the award winning Yarra Bank Reserve playground, Denham Street Hawthorn, on the banks of the Yarra and the site of our Rotary 100 playground.  Bring something to cook on the barby or bring a picnic, something to drink and sit on, bring partners and friends! But most of all come along and join in the fun! No need to book. Just come along. We've missed you!
 
Yarra Bank Reserve is on the site of the old Palmers Punt that linked Richmond with the Parish of Boroondara up until the mid-19th century. It is the site of a scar tree, evidence of the ancient occupation of the riverbank by the traditional owners of the land, the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation. It sits alongside the Hawthorn Bridge, the oldest extant bridge in Victoria and one of the oldest metal bridges in Australia. And on Tuesday January 31st it will be the site of the first get together for 2023 of the happy crowd at the Rotary Club of Glenferrie! Looking forward to seeing you there.

ROCAN - Rotary Charity Ride
Posted by Mark Ellis
Two RC Glenferrie members, Thelma Hutchison and I, are taking part in a Rotary charity ride in mid-March 2023. It will be a 7-day event going through towns such as Wangaratta, Rutherglen, Albury, Bright and Beechworth. This is fund raising mainly aimed at early detection of Ovarian cancer and, to build a wellness centre where families will be able to stay overnight whilst their loved ones are undergoing treatment. 100% of what you donate will go to this cause.
