President Daya, in conjunction with David Chu and the Fellowship Committee, has decided to cancel our regular Dinner Meeting on the 23rd of September and support Balwyn Rotary's celebration of the Camberwell Sunday Market's 50th Anniversary on Tuesday the 22nd of September. This was discussed at last night's dinner meeting and there was general agreement from the Members.

Not only is this an amazing milestone for the Camberwell Sunday Market, it is a major fund-raiser for us where we all volunteer, so let's all help our cluster-club celebrate by showing our support.

So there will be no regular Dinner Meeting on 23 September and tthis event will count towards our own Club Attendance records.

Get ready to celebrate the footy season in style. Join us for a casual fellowship evening in The Green Room at the Palace Hotel. This semi-private dining area offers a relaxed, intimate pub atmosphere for our members.

Event Details:

• Dress Code: Don your favourite footy team colours!
• Food & Drinks: Order individually directly from the venue's classic bistro menu and purchase drinks at the bar.
• Cost: You only pay for what you choose to eat and drink.

Come along for a great night of Rotary fellowship and footy cheer!

Welcome to our Hawthorn Makers Market which is committed to supporting local, independent artists and designers and curating the best of Australian handcraft in one central marketplace.

Our monthly market is held inside and outside at the beautifully restored Hawthorn Arts Centre.

Club Members are asked to volunteer, and to publicise this event to all their family and friends. Volunteers are needed for a range of tasks including bump in/setup, attendance monitoring and bump out/clean up. Please volunteer your time when you receive the Volunteer Signup List.

Join us as the Rotary Club of Camberwell celebrates 70 years of Service Above Self.

Since 1956, our Club has brought people together to strengthen our local community, support projects across Australia and change lives through international partnerships.

This special evening will celebrate our history, honour the members whose service has shaped our Club and share inspiring stories of the difference we have made together.

More than a reflection on the past, our 70th Anniversary is also an opportunity to look forward — to renew our fellowship, welcome the next generation of Rotarians and continue creating lasting impact in the years ahead.

We warmly invite current and former members, partners, friends and supporters to share this important milestone with us.

Together, we have made a difference for 70 years. Together, we will make a difference for many more. Together we are Better Than Our Best.
