This week’s reflections from President Vijay Susarla

Meeting of 23 July 2025

The Club was saddened to hear of the passing of revered past member Malcolm Munro, a President of the Club 1990 – 1991. Malcolm received a Paul Harris Ruby 2009-2010. His contributions and friendship will be remembered by Club members. Funeral details will be advised as soon as they are available.

The highlight of the meeting was the presentation from the Rotary Outreach Myeloma Program (ROMP) team. Presentations were made by Peter Allen, Adrian Campbell and Trish O’Hara.

The team delivered a comprehensive overview of ROMP’s history, vision, purpose and planned activities. Initially Victoria based and now extended nationally, the core focus of ROMP is to provide fully funded scholarships in cancer nursing to improve outcomes for patients in regional communities. So far, a total of 7 scholarships have been awarded. The team reaches out to Rotary Clubs to provided support for families in the communities who are living with Myeloma through its program.

ROMP team at the Rotary Club of Shepparton Victoria 2024 – one of the many regional club meetings.

The Community Services Committee is again running a Winter Clothing appeal for St Vincent's de Paul in Camberwell. Winter Items will be donated to "in need" members of our community. Don’t forget to bring your donations to next meeting 30^th July at Conochie Hall, Canterbury.

Next meeting on Wed. 30^th July we will be discussing and voting on the change of venue. Please do attend the Club meeting as this would be a critical move for our Club.
