You are all invited to the Gala Opening of our Club's major R100 Project: The Yarra BankReserve Playground, featuring the remarkable Rotary-funded interactive play sculpture.Save the date 8th August, commencing midday. Bring your partner, spouse, children, grandchildren and friends and make it a real Family Fun Day.
Our clubs, the Rotary clubs of Glenferrie, Camberwell, Hawthorn and Canterbury have combined to mark the 100th Anniversary of the establishment of Rotary in Australia with a unique gift to the Boroondara community, assisted by a District Local Grant from The Rotary Foundation.
The new playground at beautiful Yarra Bank Reserve Hawthorn, landscaped by Jeavons Landscape Architects, will feature as it's centrepiece, a unique interactive play sculpture crafted by internationally renowned playground sculptor Benjamin Gilbert of Agency of Sculpture in Yackandandah, a gift from our clubs to the community to mark the Rotary Centenary in Australia. This unique sculpture captures the spirit of this place, once the site of Palmer's Ferry that joined the City of Richmond with the Parish of Boroondara until the mid 19th Century, when a wooden bridge was built.
Fun for all the family is planned for the grand opening of the Rotary 100 Playground at Yarra Bank Reserve on August 8th commencing at 12:00pm, with children's entertainment, food and drink and, lots of music on the way to make it a sparkling day.
At the recent Victorian Multi-District Conference held at the Hyatt Essendon Fields, our own Rotary Outreach Myeloma Project (ROMP), one of the Club's R100 Projects, won a coveted District Recognition Award, one of only two awards in the category Community Service.

Scavenging a rubbish dump for food scraps to eat or for anything that can sold to buy food is life for the world's poorest of the poor.
