What an absolutely ASTONISHING night!!! 🍿🎲👑

Last Friday we held our annual Giant Monopoly Night at the Box Hill Town Hall. Together there were over 100 Rotaractors, Rotarians, family members and friends present 👬👭

We are so proud to announce that we raised over $3500 for Women for Women International!! 🫨💃💚 This money will go towards supporting women across the globe who have been affected by war and conflict.

We can't thank all of those who attended and helped out on the night enough, as well as all of our incredibly generous silent auction and raffle sponsors 🎖🎁

We can't wait to see you all at an even bigger and better night next year!

Big thanks to all the Rotaract clubs that have signed up for our national blood drive with the Australian Red Cross Lifeblood program. We're kicking things off on June 1st and going strong for three months.

Let’s Make It Count! 💪

As we gear up for the launch, it’s time to get keen about the difference we can make together. Your participation will not only save lives but also showcase the strength of our Rotaract community.

Let’s rally, make an impact, and show the true spirit of Rotaract!

Happy Birthday Alice 🫂🩷

"This year Giant monopoly will be raising funds for Women for Women international.

During 1992-1995, an estimated 50,000 Bosnian women were subjected to r**e as a weapon of war. Thousands more witnessed the killing of loved ones and destruction of their homes, and were left struggling to provide and care for their families whilst dealing with severe trauma.
Survivors said that they felt invisible, that the world had forgotten about them, that no-one cared.

After hearing these women’s stories, Zainab Salbi, an Iraqi-American humanitarian, entrepreneur and author, founded Women for Women International at the age of 23.

Since 1993 553,437 women survivors of war reached, 17 conflict-affected countries and
893,000 exchanged letters between participants and supporters.
Join us in raising funds for such an amazing charity

Our annual Giant Monopoly Night is back!

Join us for a night of bribing, scandal, competition and passive-aggressively cheering for your neighbours and involvement in a multitude of fun and entertaining minigames. Will you be wheeling and dealing or going directly with jail without passing Go OR paying $200

This year we will be raising funds to support Women for Women international, Since 1993, Women for Women International has invested in the power of over 500,000 women who are forgotten — the women survivors of war and conflict — to learn the skills they need to rebuild their families and communities.

Whitehorse Rotaract is incredibly proud to announce that our very own Alice Terrill has won the Rotaractor of the Year award at this year's Rotaract Australia Awards !!! 🩷🥳🤩

Alice has been vital to the growth and success of the club. As Co-President for two years, and as Co-DRR for one, she has always given Rotaract her all, and ensured that our members are cared for, appreciated, and able to be the best versions of themselves. 🫂🫂

Not only is Alice a powerhouse of Rotaract, however. She also manages to balance her PhD focusing on antibiotic resistance, acting as President of the Box Hill Ballet Association, and STILL finding time to assist or run events like NYSF and RYLA. What an inspiration!! 🤩😍

Her brilliant contribution to our club has given us so many great new opportunities to grow and expand our love for volunteering.

On behalf of the club, we would love to thank Alice for her contributions to Whitehorse Rotaract and can’t wait to see what the future has in store for her.

Below you'll find some lovely photos of Alice throughout her Rotaract journey 🩷🩷

Happy Birthday Keishan 🫂🩷

Last Sunday Whitehorse Rotaract hosted a stall at the annual Manningham Family Festival at Finns! 🎡🎪

We used the time to promote Rotaract, our events, and our culture to the festival attendees, and as an opportunity to inspire any potential Rotaractors to join us at a meeting or any of our upcoming events! 🎩🎲💶

It was a fantastic opportunity to meet so many families and connect with like-minded individuals.

A very warm thank you to Rotary Manningham City for reaching out and offering us a stall. We wouldn't have been able to do this without them 🫂🩵

Happy Birthday Sarah! 💗

Recently Whitehorse Rotaract alongside Monash Rotaract and Casey-Cardinia Rotaract attended the President-Elect Training in Traralgon for the upcoming Rotaract year!

A great deal of informative and interesting topics were covered, assisting our upcoming young leaders to be the best versions of themselves possible! 👩‍💼👨‍💼🥇

We were able to meet our wonderful Rotary and Rotaract counterparts from around Eastern Melbourne, all the way to Gippsland.

And of course, it wouldn't be a Rotaract outing without pizza or games 🍕🎮🎳

Thank you to our District Governor Elect Colin Byron and District Governor Ian Ballantine for the fantastic opportunity!

On Wednesday, Whitehorse had its last official meeting of 2023! We had a blast dressing up in our pyjamas and going over the agenda one last time before our big break. 🪩🥳🎊

Many of our members attended and we even had some guests from RYLA and the Rotary Club of Monash! 🫶🏕️

Along with all the important information we went through, both Alice Terrill and Matthew Gibney received the Caroline Chisholm award! A massive achievement for both of them! 🥇🌟🙌

Thanks for such a wonderful year everyone and we hope to see you all again at our first meeting of 2024! 🎆🎉

Last Wednesday, two of our members, Tahlia Vosnakis and Liam Howard, travelled to St Leonard’s College in Brighton to participate in the latest For a MEAL packing day! 🌊📦

Alongside them and the already well known and loved FORaMEAL team, we were honored to collaborate with members from the Rotary Club Of Brighton and their Interact Club at St Leonard’s! 🙌

Collectively, we were able to make a positive impact by packing over 2000 disaster relief meals for those in need across the world. 🌏✈️🚢

We can’t wait for our next packing day! And if you can’t too, make sure to stay updated by joining our new Facebook group “The Rotaract Club of Whitehorse Volunteering & News” where we plan to keep you updated on all of our upcoming volunteering opportunities! 🗞️📰
