Stories
Vale PDG Bruce McKenzie OAM
 
Members and partners from the Rotary Club of Nunawading extend their sincerest condolences to the Rotary Club of Box Hill on the passing of Charter and life member Bruce McKenzie.  
 
The Rotary Club of Box Hill mourns the passing of our esteemed Charter Member and Honoured Life Member on 30 May.

A committed Rotarian for 60 years, Bruce served Rotary International by undertaking numerous positions including Club President and Secretary, District Governor, Chairman of a Zone Institute, Past Chairman of Australian Rotary Health, Personal Representative of the President of Rotary International at District Conferences and a Past Member of several Rotary International Committees.

Bruce's contributions to Rotary International were recognised when he was awarded the “Service Above Self” Award.
In addition to his Rotary service, Bruce gave outstanding service to the local Box Hill community in his many leadership roles.

Condolences are extended to David, Sally, Libby and their families of whom Bruce was so immensely proud.

MEMORIAL SERVICE

A service to celebrate the life of S. B. McKenzie OAM will be held at The Chalet, Riversdale Road, Surrey Hills at 2 pm on TUESDAY (13 June 2017).

A donation to the Australian Rotary Health Fund, rather than flowers, would be appreciated.

Last weeks meeting
 
Notes from last weeks meeting:
 
Welcomed Peter McPhee from RC of Mitcham
 
  • Bob H advised PDG Bruce McKenzie from RC of Box Hill passed away on 30/05/2017 - he was a charter member of Box Hill 60 years ago 
  • Wendy thanked those who assisted with the tin rattling for the Red Shield appeal last weekend.  Collections were down around 8% overall but the intersection she looked after increased donations.
  • Harvey mentioned the upcoming Olive picking weekend - BYO food and they hope to pick a tonne of olives
  • There will be a Family Dad Group BBQ on Saturday 17 June between 10 and 11am - it will be held at Antonio Park - Kevin, Joe, Harvey and Wayne have already offered to run the BBQ but need 1 or 2 more = please let Neil know if you can assist 
 
Peter McPhee from RC of Mitcham spoke to us about Ned Kelly.  Peter is related to Ned so has a keen interest in the history.
Peter asked us to consider whether Ned was a villain or victim!  When Ned was 11 years old he jumped into a creek and saved a young boy from drowning.  Does this sound like the behaviour of a bush ranger!
 
If you want to read more about Ned's history here is a link a website dedicated to Ned and the Kelly gang

olive picking in Euroa
 
Over this past weekend, 14 Rotarians and their partners visited Euroa and collected 1 tonne of olives.  The olives will be squashed and the oil bottled for us to sell as a fund raiser.
