On Saturday 7 November, Brian N attended a truly sensational Event - ManningJAM Youth Fest - organised by Rotary Manningham City and Whitehorse Rotaract and supported by the EDSC Interact Club at East Doncaster Secondary College Performing Arts Centre. The Primary Schools Showcase with 12 performances in the morning, the Secondary Schools Competition had 9 performances in the afternoon, all were brilliant. See photos and further info below.
As well as ManningJAM on the Saturday, there was also the Mayoral Black Tie Disco held at the Manningham Function Centre. It was a wonderful night and enjoyed by all the regulars who hit the dance floor and moved and swayed to the beats of DJ Angelo. Many dressed to the theme of black tie formal (as well as the Rotarians in attendance). The new Mayor of Manningham, Cr Carli Lange, gave a speech and welcomed everyone to the Event.
Well done once again to the Rotary Disco committee led by Luke Bastian and Sohrab Bhopti.
On Wednesday, our guest speaker was Chris Cahir, the Manningham Community Enterprises Manager from the Bendigo Bank branches of Doncaster East and Templestowe Village.
The Bendigo Bank, Doncaster East and Templestowe Village Branches have given $7.5M since its inception to the Manningham Community in grants and sponsorships. Rotary clubs in Manningham have been the recipient of $156,813 of that community contribution. A big thank you to the Bendigo Bank.
Chris asked us to consider banking with Bendigo Bank so that they can in turn help to support community needs.
