2022 Rotary Zone 8 ConferenceThe conference was held at The National Convention Centre, Canberra located within the city centre. 400 Rotarians and spouses attended from across Australia, New Zealand and Pacific Islands. The conference recently opened to anyone in Rotary in the Oceania region. There was a distinct level of additional energy and enthusiasm with the representation of a younger cohort. The conference was jointly chaired and both had equal representation on topics covered. A quote that reinforces the importance of this partnership is ‘What we do today will determine if Rotary is here in the future’. The impact Rotaractors in Oceania and globally augurs well for the future of Rotary. A relatively new development I was unaware of is that it is now possible to have dual membership, that is, be a member of both a Rotary club and a Rotaract club - something I will consider pursuing. |

ROMP Goes to Warrnambool From L to R: Peter Allen (Rotary Camberwell), Bob McMullin (Rotary Club of Warrnambool Central), Chris Rantall (Guest speaker), John Hutson ( Rotary Club of Warrnambool Central & event organiser) and Adrian Campbell (Rotary Camberwell) The City of Warrnambool celebrated the 150th running of the Grand Annual Steeplechase this week, and the pre meet lunch organised by the Warrnambool Central Rotary Club was attended by 130 guests from all over the State. The charity partner of the event was Myeloma Australia, and our Club members Peter Allen and Adrian Campbell joined the lunch - representing the Club's award winning Rotary Outreach Myeloma Program (ROMP). We are pleased to report about $9,000 was raised for the Myeloma Foundation on the day through very generous donations and raffles - special thanks to local Rotary organisers John Hutson and Bob McMillan (who lives with myeloma). The Warrnambool community are remarkable ambassadors & fundraisers for those living with Myeloma - with this lunch event together with the city's recent 38mate Walk in February, they have now raised close to $20,000 for the cause - which is the best result of any town or city in Australia. Well done Warrnambool. The Camberwell Club's multi District ROMP initiative has sown seeds in Rotary Clubs all over the State, to support those living with blood cancers in regional Victoria and to improve health outcomes for those dealing with cancer. A cause worth fighting for in all our regional communities. |

2022 Camberwell Art Show - Dates Confirmed!GREAT NEWS! Swinburne University have now confirmed the following dates for the 2022 Camberwell Art Show. Remember a successful Art Show is by far our largest fund-raiser, which in turn powers our community projects both here and overseas. So put 20 June to 5 July in your diaries and calendars now, and wherever possible plan your winter holidays ski-ing or heading north until after the Show. Details are as follows:
The days marked in red are the days that require the most volunteers. As in previous years, setting up and running the Camberwell Art Show is a "Whole of Club" project which requires literally 1000s of hours of volunteering, and it is expected that every Club Member will contribute their effort in some way toward a successful show. A detailed Roster will be produced in the coming months, but there are two things that all members must attend to:
I am sure everyone is looking forward to a successful 2022 Camberwell Art Show and I ask you for your support. Murray Anderson - Chair, Camberwell Art Show |

Bairnsdale Cluster Project 31st July/1st AugustGood Afternoon I hope you are all keeping well. I am writing to you all today in a last bd effort to get a project done that our Cluster has been working on for over 12 months. Working with the East Gippsland Rotary Clubs and Landcare we would like to achieve the planting of 7000 trees over the weekend of 31st July/1st August. Due to the last Covid 19 lockdown our initial planting date has been and gone. We are running out of time to get these trees into the ground. I ask if you could kindly extend an invitation to your members to join us at this wonderful project. I do apologise for the very late notice but I am not prepared to cancel the project. As Victorians are free to travel many of our initial volunteers have taken the opportunity to travel interstate so I am seeking more volunteers. The goal of this project was to plant as many trees as possible over a weekend, to inject much needed income into these towns who during covid have seen very few holiday makers and of course enjoy the fellowship of fellow Rotarians. Peter Sindrey, President of Lakes Entrance Rotary has worked tirelessly to make this project happen and it is up to us to ensure we see the project through. Ideally I would like to confirm our numbers to Peter no later than Monday next week 31st July/1st August:
If you have any members interested in attending or need more information, please do not hesitate to contact me: Donna Martin, Bacchus Marsh Rotary Club 0437 177 031 dlmartin260@gmail.com |

May Rotary updatesMay is..... Every month in Rotary has a special purpose. Refer to your Club Directory if you are planning an event to correlate with the Rotary Calendar. May is also National Myeloma month in Australia. May is National Myeloma Month - and for the Rotary Club of Camberwell, our ROMP project. ROMP - the Rotary Outreach Myeloma Program - is our Club's Centenary year project, in collaboration with Myeloma Australia. Myeloma is an incurable blood cancer, of no known cause, which affects approximately 2000 Australians every year. This RC100 accredited project is designed to provide access for all people diagnosed with Myeloma in Victoria to have easy access to a Myeloma support nurse and support group, run in-person or via virtual means. Our club ROMP committee are pleased to report that all 9 jurisdictions across Victoria, supported by local Rotary clubs, are now linked into this excellent program. And this week, their "38mate" program was launched - checkout the photos below! 38 Australians are diagnosed with Myeloma every week - every myeloma patient, their family and regional myeloma communities deserve ready access to specialist myeloma nurses, information about evolving myeloma treatments and advice about living with myeloma. If you haven't yet received your copy of the ROMP newsletter, ask Adrian Campbell or Peter Allen for a copy.  |
