Message from our President

This week the club Service Committees held their monthly meetings during our normal Club breakfast which proved to be very successful.
We were all surprised at how much we had achieved in this Rotary Year by all of the Committees.
Well done everyone!
I am even more convinced that we should be sharing, with the wider community the wonderful contribution, the time, the energy and the enjoyment and pride we feel belonging to Rotary International through our club, Bentleigh Moorabbin Central.
We have six Community, Community, International, Youth and Vocational that actively donate and do hands on projects to help those in need. We have a Market Committee that overseas our major project “The Bentleigh Sunday Market”, a Social Committee that ensures that we allocate time for fun and laughter and runs raffles plus a Membership, Public Relations and Advertising Committee.

Market Report:  
The market started strong with 7 casual stalls being sold. There was 1 overnight car parked. Alex the busker turned up to entertain the customers. The numbers of customers was slow to start after the hot day, but the weather was kind to us all on market day. We had 5 visiting rotarians and a busy attendance by customers particularly later in the morning.
