Rotary friends and friends of Rotary
The Christmas season is fast approaching and the tradition of Camberwell Rotarians bringing a new unwrapped gift for a child to our Christmas party continues again this year, so please remember to bring a present, this year we are supporting the children from the Asylum Seekers resource centre, if anyone needs any further information, please reach out to Gary Goldsmith
It was terrific after many months to have our first guest speaker present in person to the club, Peter from the Malvern Men’s Shed gave a delightful insight into this valuable resource, managed by volunteers it was amazing to hear all the good work that this organisation has been doing assisting in the well being of men.
Next week we have MICA paramedic Justin presenting on a day in the life of a Paramedic.
The club was buzzing when news broke that our Kemi recently got engaged, Congratulations Kemi and we look forward to meeting your fiancé at the Christmas Party

A shout out to Sparkey Clarkey who recently fell off his ladder and has badly injured himself with a few broken bones, hope you have a speedy recovery, also John Steven recently had another stroke and was in hospital for a few days and has now returned home to recuperate.
Thanks to Anita for sharing those scrumptious treats in celebration of Hanukkah, it’s also often called the Festival of Lights. It was a lovely gesture, and to also get a brief insight into the Jewish celebration marking the rededication of the second temple in Jerusalem.
That’s it from me for this week, have a good week in Rotary, let’s keep connecting & be kind to one another.
