February is Peace and Conflict Prevention Resolution Month
President's Message

This week I am pleased to update you that, following the survey conducted last year, the new Rotary Community Groups have been allocated. Glenferrie is in RCG-2 together with Balwyn, Brighton, Brighton Nth, Canterbury, Camberwell, Caulfield, Chadstone East Malvern, Hawthorn, Kew, Malvern, North Balwyn, Prahran and Toorak.

Leaders of these community groups will be chosen/elected in the coming months.

Have you all booked for the upcoming district conference in Bendigo. I suggest doing so soon if you plan to attend. (I attended the district 9818 conference while in India and can tell you that their conferences Rock!).

Hope to see you all Tuesday evening at Kooyong.
