Dear Members and Friends,
On behalf of the board and members of the Rotary Club of Manningham City, we wish you all a very happy Christmas and a healthy and prosperous New Year.
We hope everyone has the opportunity to take a break from busy routines to recharge and reset. We can reflect on what is important individually and as a community.
And as we recover from the horrific events at Bondi earlier, we should renew our Rotary commitment to Peacebuilding and Conflict Prevention and our own commitment to supporting our local community.
Remember to slip, slop and slap and have a great break!
Our next event is a BBQ at the home of Mitch and Trish Boys on 28 January 2026. Our first formal meeting of 2026 is on 4 February 2026 at the Manningham Hotel.
Have an amazing Christmas and New Year to you all,
Our regular newsletter editor, Janis Mcfarland is recovering from a health issue and is unable to continue in that role.
The newsletter is our most important channel to communicate with members and our friends in the broader community. We need an organised person with a few hours to spare each week who is confident using a computer to help with this.
The role of the editor is to compile the newsletter. We use a template on the ClubRunner platform so most of the work is copy and paste and adding photos to stories. The editor should be a confident writer and attentive to detail; however, we don’t expect perfection!
Our acting editor, Anthony, can provide training and ongoing support. The editor may occasionally write stories but we mostly rely on other members to provide stories and photos.
The conference will offer learning, networking, and cultural experiences against Hobart’s historic backdrop. Join us from 13-15 March 2026 - next week! Our club will have a stall to promote our RMC Shine On Event that will occur on 8th August.
For more information, club contacts are Tony Monley and Brian Tyedin.
The “People, Planet, Peace” theme reflects Rotary’s commitment to driving positive change by protecting the environment, promoting peace, and supporting communities. This approach aligns with our seven areas of focus and calls for holistic, intentional action in uncertain times. As Rotarians, we aim to shape a better future for coming generations.
