A Big thank you to the 50 people who participated in the for A Meal food packing night. The participating ages ranged from 17 to Neil Hookey who recently turn 90. It was a fun night where in just a few hours we successfully packed more than 16,000 meals. An unbelievable number to think 16,000 people will enjoy a meal in their time of need courtesy of the Camberwell Rotary club. The terrific community vibe continued when we broke for refreshments with everyone bringing some food to share

Boroondara Citizenship ceremony & Citizen of Year for 2022
The Rotary Club of Camberwell was invited to attend the City of Boroondara Citizenship Award Ceremony held on Australia Day, 26th January 22. I was delighted to attend the ceremony in the place of President Patrick Docherty.
 
The City of Boroondara celebrated some of the unsung heroes of our community with the 2022 Boroondara Citizen of the Year awards.
Held as part of the annual Boroondara Australia Day citizenship ceremony at the Hawthorn Arts Centre, the awards acknowledge the outstanding contributions Boroondara residents have made to enrich our community and improve the lives of the individuals within it. Boroondara Mayor Cr Jane Addis (RCC Honorary Member) congratulated the winners who work tirelessly for the Boroondara community and beyond.
“The gift of giving hope, strength and knowledge to empower your community is a precious gift. Boroondara is growing stronger and becoming more vibrant post-COVID lockdowns because our 180,000 strong community share, and work on a key goal, which is to continue living in harmony”, said Mayor Cr Jane Addis.
Three Boroondara citizens received awards. Surrey Hills Progress Association (SHPA) President Greg Buchanan was named Citizen of the Year, while there were joint winners for the Young Citizen of the Year with 15-year-old youth nutrition advocate and Body Confident Collective co-chair Rhea Werner receiving the award with 22-year-old Belinda Battey (pictured below) for her commitment to supporting people experiencing disadvantage and/or mental health issues, notably as the volunteer live-in house manager at Servants Community Housing in Hawthorn.
A special commendation was also awarded to the CEO of Servants Community Housing Amanda Donohoe for supporting hundreds of residents across multiple decades to connect with housing support services in their time of dire need.
Boroondara also welcomed 95 new Australian citizens on the day, as people from 22 different countries were presented with a Certificate of Australian Citizenship after pledging their allegiance to Australia and its laws.

Walk "3.8 with a mate" - Sunday 6th March
On the 6th of March* our club will join with many Rotary Clubs and community organisations across Australia to support the work of Myeloma Australia by participating in our own “3.8 with a mate” walk.  The aims of the walk are simple – to build awareness of the myeloma disease and to raise funds in support of the work of Myeloma Australia.
The event is outlined in the attached special edition of the “ROMPER” newsletter. More detailed information will flow soon. We invite you, your family members and friends to walk with us.
Won’t you join us?
