Tonights speaker was Gaye from the Rotary Club of Box Hill Central talking about the International Womens Day Breakfat on 9th March 2016 at Box Hill Town Hall.

She said it is a cluster event and one of its purposes is to link women with Rotary
there were 170+ people at the breakfast earlier this year
It is inspired by the Rotary Club of Albert Parks breakfast at Crown.
The theme for next years breakfast is "if she ruled the world" and they are hoping to get 250+ people to attend
Monies raised will be donated to organisations within the Eastern suburbs who support womens health
Other Rotary clubs can assist by being proactive in promoting the event, making suggestions for panel members and MCs and using networks to spread the word
Our clubs may benefit by accessing potential women members, boosting female membership, interaction with business

Bob's 80th Birthday

Posted by Gabby Knaepple

It was great to see around 35 members and partners help Bob celebrate his 80th birthday last Wednesday. After a nice dinner, Bobs birthday cake came out and after a fine rendition of Happy Birthday, Bob gave us a brief synopsis of his life.

He was born on 4 November 1935 in Ballarat and went to Ballarat College
In 1950 his family moved to Croydon
From 1952 to 1954 he and his Father opened a furniture shop in Blackburn which later became Hoskins Carpet Gallery and is still operated today by Bob and Bev's son.
He and Bev were married on 26/09/1959 and have been happily married for 56 years.
In 1965 he was approached to join the Rotary Club of Nunawading.

Thanks to Bob and Bev for hosting us. Bob we hope you had a wonderful birthday and look forward to celebrating many more with you!
