Congratulations to past member Graham Foard and his wife Gwenda, both were awarded OAMs.

As all Club Members are aware, all attendees must book in to receive a meal at our weekly dinner meetings by using the link shown in the Grapevine attendingrcnb@gmail.com.  

Those members who prefer to reply by personal email must now send their booking to jimstude@bigpond.net.au until further notice.  In this interval, Hugo will not be handling meal bookings.

Jim requires all bookings before 6 pm on the Tuesday before each meeting.

This change is most important for the 17^th February Partner’s Night.  

Sam played Australian Rules football for the Collingwood under-19s team in 1991. He then went on to play country football in regional Victoria and Tasmania for a number of years. He remained in the city holding down a range of odd jobs and received a small fee for his football services.

He studied marketing at university.

Ever wondered who is "Second Bite"???     

Read more about why one of our Rotarians goes there every Thursday morning to pick up food and take it to Camcare in Camberwell for suitable distribution.

Yes, that's RCNB certainly making a difference in the Community!!

Gardening Project 2022      

Our Gardening Program will commence on February 4 with schools keen to participate and give some joy to our deserving home owners, many have been left without help last year due to Covid restrictions.

We have a full list of jobs to attend to so check the roster and see if you can help our shrinking team do this important service.

The last two COVID years has put pressure on both the schools and our members to try and keep this project alive.We have achieved that.

Also to assist with the Rotary members involvement invitations to other Rotary Clubs in the Boroondara  area have been sent to check their interest to assist in keeping this project successful. However this is primarily a NBRC initiative so if you have experience in our Gardening project or would like to assist, Please call me any time.

Regards

Neil Marshall

Coordinator, Rotary Gardens Project
