Thanks to Caroline Larwood we were treated to another member behind the badge. So much experience to bring into the club. I was delighted to hear that she loves Rotary and what it offers. Caroline is one to get involved and it is the usual - you get twice out of what you put in. As I pointed out, Caroline has had a great education and work experience n the world, where girls are not allowed or cannot access that privilege.
The Board meeting is coming up on Dec 7th and so please let me know if there is an issue bothering you. I have found that being able to casually talk to members, had given me a sense of what the general members are interested in being implemented.
Remember that as Margaret Wheatley preaches “Real change begins with the simple act of people talking about what they care about.” and “Turning to One Another: Simple conversations to restore hope to the future.”
Caroline spoke of her short attention span, her wide and varied work history, proclivity for making bad decisions and her short attention span.
Originally from Perth, Caroline has lived and worked in regional towns in WA, as well as the UK and Canada, and very much enjoys cold, wet weather.
After her stint in the recycling industry, she is passionate about minimising waste that goes to landfill.
With interests in history, technology and conversing on topics she knows little about, she is happy to have found Rotary Glenferrie and looks forward to many more conversations, before she gets distracted.

The club, along with the other six Rotary clubs in the City of Boroondara, has commissioned new Membership Brochures to help drive membership growth. The brochures are available from any member of the Membership Development Committee (Elizabeth Dumonic, Thelma Hutchison and Richard Blakeman). Grab some to hand to friends when you talk to them about Rotary membership. Supplies will be available for distribution at every Farmers Market.
One of the left over perks from the Rotary Centenary Playground opening is the gift of two new Rotary teardrop banners to the Boroondara Farmers Market. Branding the market 'Rotary' is a great way of letting people know just what Rotary does, and helps strengthen both the reputation of Rotary and Rotary's future. Rotarians Kay Widmer and PP Ian Salek are pictured here with the new banners at the November 30th market.
Since 1905, Rotarians have been working together to fight and prevent diseases. We know there is no quick fix to eradicating many of the world's most entrenched diseases, but we are persistent and determined to succeed.
A four-course dinner, with wine, beer and soft drinks include. Entertainment includes a live band multicultural dance, opera singers, door prizes, raffles, auctions and dancing.
$180 per guest with an early-bird rate of $160 per guest up to and including Tuesday 30th November 2021. Number of seats will depend on density requirements specified by the government and hence will be strictly on a first come first served basis. (A 'Deductible Gift Receipt' will be issued for a non-refundable amount of $50 from the above price)
Vaccines are one of the safest and most effective ways to protect people from life-threatening and preventable diseases. The COVID-19 pandemic has interrupted life-saving vaccine campaigns. As a result, there is a growing risk of resurgence of vaccine preventable infections including polio, measles, and tuberculosis.
Rotary has advocated, distributed, and administered vaccines to help reduce polio cases by 99.9% worldwide. Clubs globally are using the same strategy to help end the COVID-19 pandemic. Here we show the importance of vaccines and why it’s one of the most reliable ways to protect yourself and future generations from infectious disease.
