What a great night at Pentridge prison. Damien, our National Trust guide, showed us around the prison and highlighted such things as attempted escapes. H division was particularly interesting to tour and hear about, yet unsettling. Twenty-six of us met in B division at a lovely restaurant, Olivine. The food was excellent. We look forward to more off site events in 2027.
Congratulations to the 30 walkers from Rotary Clubs of Hawthorn, Camberwell and Glenferrie, who participated in the End Polio Walk recently. The weather was perfect and as the members in their red t-shirts walked through the park they highlighted the need for increased community awareness & the eradication of polio. The walk culminated at the Auburn Hotel.
At the club meeting, on the 13th of October, Kersha Chettri, spoke to us about the elements of social media. She is well versed in this area, especially enhanced through her communication studies. We were instructed to turn our phones on initially which was quite foreign for us to do during a talk! Members were engaged in her interesting information.
A good chance to get rid of our second-hand or homemade goods! The Environment & Sustainability committee has booked a stall at the Camberwell Market for Sunday the 15th of November. Profit made will be used for humanitarian projects.
