The Week Ahead

I hope you are enjoying the Rotary year as much as your President. I feel so fortunate to have received wonderful support and advice from not only the Directors, but you, our Members. Thank you for making this position so good humoured and exciting.
There are many activities leading up to Christmas and I hope you can join us at Lift the Lid Lunch, (Only 13 days left to register), Werribee Park Zoo, Walhalla, Lakes Entrance and Studley Park Boat House for a smashing Christmas Dinner.
Plus, some great Guests presenting at the ten remaining lunch and online meetings for 2024. We have Robert Klupacs, CEO Bionics Institute returning to finish his amazing, incredible presentation. An update in saving someone’s life by PDG Grant Hocking, induction of Mark Pinoli and fun and games with David Rush at our Melbourne Cup Theme lunch!

HAWKERS WALKERS by Charlotte England  
It is very easy to join 'Our Team' all you have to do is click the link. $3,000 is our fundraising aim as we usually get pretty close if not exceed this goal.  Over the past 5 years Hawthorn Rotary has been in the top 3 or 4 Clubs for this important initiative.  It is also a great way of getting fit and ready for the Christmas festivities!!!!!!!
 
PLUS
Our Walk Numbers  are up to 35 individuals and 15 teams registered and with fundraising already underway and going well.
 
Our Paws for Polio Event is coming up on 6 October which will launch our month of walking. You don’t have to have a dog to attend as there will be a walk for humans along with the dog walk.  We will conclude October with a walk on 27 October starting from The Observatory in Birdwood Avenue at 10am.
