Roger Lough introduced Natalie and thanked her for the incredible
support that she has given us in allocating Sausage Sizzles through the past year. We have been lucky to be able to conduct lots of fund raising through this facility. Roger presented Natalie with a Paul Harris Award in appreciation for her (and Bunnings) support of our club.

Les Walker then introduced David, and thanked him for the great support he has been with the book sales. He is there every time, doing lots of heavy lifting, loading books and driving. I think the description “Savior” was in there somewhere. We really appreciate his assistance, and Les presented David with a Paul Harris Award as well.

Tray (Attrayoo), the supervising Teacher at Wellington Secondary College, along with Connie
(RCGW) helped organise this great project with the Student Representative Council of the School.
It was called the “Pasta Project: Its aim was to support needy families in the Monash area. It was all about
getting the children to recognise people less fortunate, and to see what they could do about it.
The students had a “Free Dress Day” and were asked to bring a bag of pasta or donate a gold coin.
It culminated in 500 packets of pasta, delivered to Monash Oakleigh Community Information Service today.
Pictures include – all the pasta picked up from the school, Tray, Chris, Sue and Connie with all the pasta.

Putting a stamp on humanitarian causes – Rotary Down Under A simple idea of salvaging used stamps has raised $150,000 for various humanitarian projects, including EndTrachoma. In 1992, Carrol Farmer, president of the Rotary Club of Bayswater North, Vic, had a club-changing idea. At the time, the club was broke, and her son’s school was raising good money ...

Tiny Forests | Earthwatch Australia. The volunteers planted 31 different Indigenous species from two Ecological Vegetation Communities or EVC’s – Grassy Woodlands and Valley Heathy Forest. These plant communities are endemic to the City of Monash and revegetating them is crucial to combatting habitat loss and improving biodiversity. You can see the list of species that were planted here Fraser Street Reserve (earthwatch.org.uk) Well done to Sue and all the volunteers.
