Stronger Communities - Diamond Creek Rotary in action!

This month Rotary shines a light on the importance of strong, sustainable communities. By supporting local initiatives, creating opportunities and working together, we can help people and communities thrive.  That's what Diamond Creek Rotary does every day.  

Devonshire Delights

On Wednesday we will bring together over 100 people from our community for our Annual Devonshire delights morning tea.  Thank you to all those helping out on the day and for the effort in getting things planned and organised.

RYLA Nominations

The Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA) program is a fantastic opportunity for young adults to get ahead. RYLA gives young people a leg-up — helping them build confidence, develop leadership skills, discover their strengths and create connections that can open doors for their future.

If you know a young person who would benefit from this experience, now is the time to nominate them.

This Week's Meeting

This week our own member, Mark, will give us a run down of his recent trip to el Salvador, and the Rotary Club San Salvador Noroeste.  Mark is working on the Snake Bite Prevention Project - and will be bringing some of his plans aorund this to our meeting.

All visitors are welcome!

Looking for something to do next Sunday?

And a reminder - next Sunday, there are 2 great options for a day out.  The Yarrambat Historic Society open day OR the Walk to lift the lid on Mental Health!  Details below!
