President Sunil at home

President Sunil at home with his beloved wife Myriam

enjoying his favourite meal - Sri Lankan CURRY!!!

His crowning jewel was to have a curry night fundraiser.

Alas, events got in his way.

The Bee Project

Our Bee project got a life of its own and interfered with Sunil's plans.

The project was to celebrate 100 years of Rotary with 100 bee hives distributed to the community

bee-coming our major project.

A local bee club was set up with the City of Moonee Valley and everybody became bee-happy.

The Hand Sanitiser Project

COVID also devastated the planned curry night and was abandoned.

However the club reached out to help by distributing hand-sanitiser, from a generous donation, to the general community.

It was thought by some that with its alcoholic content it would do as a drink - JUST JOKING

but our actors got on with the concept and became intoxicated.

Deep Discussions

With the curry night project in limbo President Sunil summoned the all knowing Maria,
master of diplomacy, to sort out the problem before confronting the other directors.

However it was a forgone conclusion that we ended up with a Greek night fundraiser for
the Norm Mollica Mental Health project.

So much for the Curry!!

Sunil Perera

2021/22

As I take on the role of President of the Rotary Club of Essendon I am fully aware of the difficult times we have all gone through in the past years due to the pandemic and lockdown related anxieties, stresses and in some instances loss of loved ones.

Hopefully there is light at the end of the tunnel and we can all get back to doing what we do best as a club, helping people in need here and overseas.

The Rotary Club of Essendon being one of the oldest clubs in Australia has a track record of doing great work in the community keeping in mind the object of Rotary and the 4 Way test.

Rotary is not only there to help the community but also to help and assist each other, and to this end I will dedicate this year as a fellowship year.

As we do the good things helping the greater community in our projects, we must help and take care of our Rotary members now more than ever, in order to ensure all of us continue to maintain physical health and mental wellbeing.

To help achieve this goal of encouraging fellowship and goodwill within our club I intend to have more social events which were not possible in the last few years. I call upon all members to attend and take part in these events.
