Please note this is a cluster meeting being organised by the Rotary Club of Balwyn. President David Hobson has advised all Cluster Presidents that the meeting will be held at Green Acres

This meeting is a Joint Club Dinner with the Eastside Cluster Clubs of Balwyn, Canterbury and North Balwyn, and replaces our regular Weekly Dinner Meeting at Conochie Hall on Wednesday 28 September.

The speaker is Associate Professor Michael Woodward (Head of Aged Care Research and the Memory Clinic at Austin Hospital), and his topic will be "The Race to Find a Treatment for Dementia". This topic and the calibre of the speaker will have wide appeal, hence the Joint Club Dinner and the larger venue.
