On Sunday 14th Dec 2025, many members & partners enjoyed a terrific Christmas Party at the Lake View Hotel overlooking Lake Wendouree.

President Clare spoke of a very busy but rewarding year, with many events managed/run to raise funds for distribution to the community. Clare was very pleased to be presented with a certificate from Holger Knaack (Chair of The Rotary Foundation) for our significant contribution to World Polio eradication for 2024-25.

Members were pleased that our two lovely Rotary Exchange students Merle & Delfe were able to join us, bringing with them Christmas cookies they'd baked, raising a further $120 for the EndPolio fundraiser.

With great people and food, much laughter was had by all, especially when we were able to see the younger pictures of many members in a slideshow.

Member Mark took the time to create a Christmas tree ornament for every member's Christmas Tree, and Phillip captured the day taking many great photos seen here.
