Club News   

Rotary Melbourne Sir John Reid Community Service Award 2022 is now open for applications which close on Wednesday 19 October 2022.     

The attached September newsletter brings you up to date with progress on our Give Every Child a Future (GECAF) project. It’s really exciting to have reached the stage of being nearly fully funded, and seeing extensive activity across the Pacific countries that are benefiting from the immunisation program. Events beyond Rotary's control meant we could not produce a June newsletter but the September edition is a bumper one. Our immunisation program rollouts have gained momentum as COVID-19 restrictions have eased and borders in Pacific countries start to re-open.

Peter Berg advises Rotary Safe Families has begun a collaboration with EDVOS a family violence service in the eastern metropolitan region of Melbourne.
