We will be managing a garden in Margarita St Hampton so rememeber to publicise the event to your friends and family, the more people that attend the more money raised for the nominated charities and for our club! Details of the gardens open are available on the following website. http://www.gardendesignfest.com.au/ Christmas Hampers All Souls Church in Sandringham collects food each week but leading up to Christmas they are in an urgent need of non perishable food and toys. These goods are then donated to BayCISS (Sandringham), Dixon House (Anglicare) and the Asylum Seekers Centre in Dandenong. The food and toys will be distributed locally and in surrounding suburbs. It would be great if our Rotarians can assist Noelle with donations. There will be a box available at our meetings over the next 6 – 7 weeks, all you have to do is bring an item or two along and drop it into the box. All types of non perishable food items are acceptable including Christmas items. Any queries please contact Noelle.

Simon Conquest The Rotary movement was founded in February 1905, by Paul Harris, a lawyer from Chicago, who recognized the potential of an association of like-minded professional and business people who could meet and share common interests on a regular basis. In 1957, the Rotary Foundation launched the Paul Harris Fellowship in memory of the founder as an expression of appreciation for those who have contributed to the Foundation's humanitarian and educational programs. A contribution of US $1,000 is made to the Rotary Foundation in the name of each individual to be honoured. The recipients receive a pin, medallion and certificates that identify them as advocates of the Foundation's goals of world peace and understanding. After more than fifty years, recognition as a Paul Harris Fellow remains a respected and prestigious honour for Rotarians and non-Rotarians alike. The bulletin editor wishes to thank Ruth for the report and Ruth and Grant for their photos. . . . . . 6. 7.
