Rotary Chadstone/East Malvern is gearing up for what we see as a very busy run up to the end of the current Presidential year.

We have kicked off 2023 with our Bunnings BBQ, 'The Market' at Phoenix Park - our first one for 2023, has had an abundance of great media coverage. Also, the planning for our Sleeping Out Rough Night on Friday 17th March is well underway.

Congratulations to Garry Fabian who was honoured with the Medal (OAM) of the Order of Australia in the General Division.  Garry was acknowledged for his work in the Jewish Community, as a Writer, the Community including Rotary, and Ex-Serviceman's Organisations. Garry was presented with an Order of Merit by the Federal Republic of Germany in 2021.Congratulations Garry.

Welcome to RIMERN's first newsletter.

"It’s taken us 18 months but it’s been a very busy time since June 2021 when we opened our doors and we’re so grateful for your support, whether by donating great furniture, appliances or homewares for us to rehome to our clients needing support, by volunteering with us at the warehouse or remotely or for your vital cash donations."

Rotary Inner Melbourne Emergency Relief Network is grateful for the mentorship of our partners at Eastern Emergency Relief Network (EERN - Mitcham) and Western Emergency Relief Network (WERN – Ravenhall) in helping us get started, and to the fifteen Melbourne Rotary Clubs who have joined this exciting and impactful
community service project.

All jobs, locations and shifts will be advised in the next couple of months and you will be sent a link to take you to the relevant information. You will then be able to select what suits you best. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Jane Pennington on email: jane.pennington@rotary9800.org.Other than volunteering external of the Convention venue, you will need to be registered to attend the RI Convention in order to be a volunteer.
