Purple Cloak
May 08, 2018
Matt Maudlin has created a new housing concept for folks living in rooming houses. He writes: 'Many people find themselves in rooming houses through a series of unfortunate events. Such people are able to live independently within the community .... with a little bit of community support. We will operate The Purple Cloak projects. This housing venture is completely dependent upon the community getting behind it; we are NOT seeking any levels of Government support. My belief is that an issue as hideous as homelessness will only end when we as a community stand up and say 'enough!' Chair: Charlotte England |

NATIONAL TREE DAY Celebrating 21 years Fristch Holzer Park Rose Street, Hawthorn East (Meet near BBQ area) 29th July 2018 10am - 1pm ------- Did you know? 'The park was named after Augustus Fritsch and the Holzer brothers who formed the Upper Hawthorn Brick Company in 1883. The factory employed around 50 people and produced 250,000 bricks a week, which were used throughout Victoria. Council bought the area in 1972 and used it as a landfill site until 1986, then as a temporary waste transfer station until 1989. In the years that followed the site was left empty to allow the landfill to stabilise. Council, together with the Victorian Government and the Rotary Club of Hawthorn, reconstructed the area into a park in 1995'. (Source: Boroondara Council) |

Jul 31, 2018
Come and listen to the inspiring story of the Karen refugees and Nhill. John and Margaret Millington OAMs (that's them in the attached photo) are community trail blazers. They also have been a driving force in settling Karen refugees in Nhill. One report said that.... 'an impact study has found the resettlement program has added $40 million to the town's economy, and led to the creation of 70 full-time jobs'. You may have seen the story on SBS, or in other media. It's a truly inspirational story. Chair: Noel Halford

UPDATE: The Cambodia Project
Aug 14, 2018
Come and hear an inspiring update from our member, Peter Lugg regarding what Rotary Hawthorn's work in sending goods has meant to Cambodian hospitals. You will recall that 'Peter has a particular interest in the people of Cambodia and assists in alleviating their medical conditions where possible, and to quote him ‘Cambodia is beguiling and feels like home’. He finds time to be in Cambodia every 5 to 8 weeks. Peter’s work is primarily with the poorest Cambodians (approx. 30% of the population) who generally cannot access any medical advice as they just don’t have the means to pay. Most of it revolves around orthopaedics and hip replacements'. Chair: Gordon Cheyne |

Writer & Photographer
Sep 11, 2018
Writer and photographer Tim Webster presents Melbourne’s Queen Victoria Market, an unprecedented work of oral history, eight years in the making. This illustrated anthology of the oral histories of the Queen Victoria Market in Melbourne takes you behind the counters to reveal intimate views of the market’s unique way of life. Drawn from more than a hundred and eighty interviews, and featuring beautiful and atmospheric photography throughout, Melbourne’s Queen Victoria Market explores the values and ideas within the city’s heart. ‘When the stallholders have gone home at the end of the day of trade, you can shut your eyes, you look up the aisles and it could be 1923, it could be 1953, it could be 1973…I have memories of people who are no longer here. It’s the people that make the market. It’s the people.‘ Melbourne’s Vic Market is an Australian heritage gem, a place for everyone. For over a century and a half, generations of small traders have embraced the opportunities to make a living at this iconic market, cultivating healthy competition and innovation in an evolving cultural melange. Tim’s presentations and exhibitions with previous works include the following venues:
Royal Geographical Society, London;
East West Centre, Honolulu, Hawai’i;
Charles University, Prague;
Salon Karl Marx Buchhandlung, Berlin; TU Wien, Vienna;
