MEMBERS ANNOUNCEMENTS CHRISTMAS GREETINGS TO THE MEMBERS OF THE ROTARY CLUB OF MOUNT WAVERLEY Monash Waverley CIS thanks you all for your support during 2015. By donating non-perishable food items and collecting the SecondBite fruit, vegetables and bread on Friday’s, Mt Waverley Rotary Club members provide a wonderful community service and assist many residents in the City of Monash who need help to obtain the basic necessities.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you from Monash Waverley Community Information & Support

Trying to think of a Christmas present for someone?

This year at Mount Waverley Primary school we have produced a professionally printed, hard cover multicultural cookbook to sell to raise funds for our school. Our students have also decided they'd like to donate 5% of our cookbook profits to three local Melbourne charities:

bestchance Family Care (Glen Waverley) Ronald McDonald House (Monash) Alannah & Madeleine Foundation

We think it would make a wonderful Christmas gift and wondered if you would be able to help promote our cookbook? I've attached a poster advertising our cookbook and a link to our cookbook website http://mwpscookbook.wix.com/cookbookpreview If you would like to contact me for any more details about our cookbook, please feel free to give me a call on 0428 588887. Cheers Kerrie Richards (Mt Waverley Primary School fundraising cookbook project coordinator)

Page 7 M.W. Bulletin 13 December 2015 *********************************************************************************************************************************** We invite you all to experience the new ROMAC website that has gone live. This is another milestone with incorporating all ROMAC activity into one platform. www.romac.org.au It is now available for speedier uploading, adjustments and handling more content. You will note the Referral page and the Donate, both of which will help reduce some workload and ideally increase our revenue. One great benefit for our treasurer, is that Rotary Clubs can donate direct to the site and it will capture both the Club name and the District number. It also invites private donations as well as corporate. Again, we invite any constructive thoughts and appropriate ideas will of course be incorporated.
