We gather together on the lands of the traditional custodians, the Wurundjeri people. We pay our respects to all of Melbourne’s First Peoples, to their ancestors and Elders, and to our shared future together.

Guest Speaker - Margaret Chipperfield
Margaret started life as a primary school teacher before embarking on a degree in social work at Monash University. She spent the next 25 years as a social worker, including three years working in Child Protection and some twenty years managing a range of different programs such as Foster Care, Family Counselling, Men’s Violence, Drug & Alcohol Counselling, Family Support, Residential Care and Financial Counselling.
Thirteen years ago Margaret became a co-facilitator of Men's Behaviour Change Groups at Anglicare Victoria and a long term support group for men who wanted to continue learning and growing. Margaret subsequently wrote a book “No Buts" based on these experiences.
Looking forward to seeing you back at Conochie Hall on 30th April when our Guest Speaker will be Felicity Sinfield, and her Topic will be “The Victoria Police & Rotary Leaders Mentor Program”. I will also have the pleasure of inducting a new member.
Let the Magic of Rotary continue to Create Hope in our Communities and the World!
Starting time 9am for 9.30am - Finishes at 1pm - including a break for morning tea.
The opening session will include DGE Peter, Membership and Governance. Followed by individual breakouts for President Elect, Treasurer, Secretary, Youth, Foundation and Club Service.
Thursday 8th May – Our Club will celebrate with North Balwyn their 45 Year Anniversary at the Green Acres Golf Club, East Kew. Greg Ross tells me that there will be fantastic entertainment.
On 19th March our Youth and Vocation Chair Adrian Campbell advised members of the initiatives being undertaken by the committee this year. One of them was for funding for a Youth and Wellness Hub at Camberwell High. The following information has been received.
Dear Adrian & Mandy and Michael,
Please see our school’s news feed that went out just now to all of our parents, student and staff. This could not have happened without your support.
Thank you!

Maureen Salter, Acting Principal - Camberwell High School
