Rotary Banners
A great Rotary tradition is the exchange of Rotary Club banners. Some clubs will hang them around their meeting venues or at their meal tables. We now have too many to be able to put up on the wall every week, so instead have gone online! This gallery features many of the banners we have exchanged with Rotary Clubs around the world.

Ogaki Students Visit 2018
The Rotary Club of Glen Eira has recently coordinated a successful visit of a Student Delegation from the City of Ogaki in Japan. Ogaki and Glen Eira have a sister city relationship, as does Ogaki West Rotary with Glen Eira Rotary. The Club’s involvement followed a request made by the Ogaki International Exchange Association, during a visit by 3 club members to Ogaki’s Anniversary celebrations and Festival in May this year. The Association was keen to send 9 Ogaki Junior High School students for a 6-day visit to Glen Eira to share the school and home life of similar level Australian students. We were able to interest and involve Glen Eira City Council and the Glen Eira Secondary College to host the students on school days and to select families prepared to accommodate the visitors during their stay. Huge thanks to the Council, Glen Eira Secondary College and especially the host families for their wonderful efforts to ensure that our visitors all had memorable experiences.

Japan Donation
Our Club's Honorary Member and Paul Harris Fellow Yoshiko Stynes has just returned from Japan where she presented our club's donation of 200,000 yen to the Rotary Club of Namie, Fukushima. This donation was a result of a number of fundraising initiatives, including our Japanese Cultural Day, and ink artist Ms. Seifu Sandaiji who helped by donating money from the sale of her art work, to raise funds following the tsunami, earthquake and subsequent nuclear disaster near Fukushima in 2011. The donation was to support the R/C of Namie after the Earthquake, Tsunami & Nuclear disasters, and the donation would go to Namie Machi, the town which suffered the most. R/C of Glen Eira held a Japan Festival in Melbourne in November last year, & collected the donation from the event. As Yoshiko handed the donation, Dr. Shigetomi thanked & commented “Your kind thoughts are very much appreciated by us all. We will do our best to try to come back to our normal life & activities.“
