Craft Beer and Fine Wine Event run by the Rotary Club of Central Melbourne Sunrise to meet our commitments for its school projects in Laos to be held at

 

Henry Street Brewhouse, Unit 5, 38 Barrett Street, Kensington. [https://henrystbrewhouse.com.au/].

 

 

Born from humble beginnings in the backyard on Henry Street, this tiny artisan microbrewery pride themselves in handcrafting exquisite beers and ales. Created using the finest ingredients, a lot of passion and hard work.

 

As well as the opportunity to taste a range of craft brews, the event will feature an auction of fine wines and a talk by Sandra de Pury, winemaker at Yeringberg Wines, who has also donated some notable wines for the event.

 

Sandra, along with her father Guill de Pury and wife Katherine make wines for the new millennium from the low-yielding vines re-established in the heart of what was one of the most famous vineyards of the 19th century. In the riper years, the red wines have a velvety generosity of flavour rarely encountered, while never losing varietal character; the long-lived Marsanne Roussanne takes students of history back to Yeringberg’s fame in the 19th century. They export to the US, Switzerland, Hong Kong and China.

 

RCCMS members have raided their cellars to present a range of interesting wines for the special silent auction and the highlight auction on the evening. 

 

Attendance is strictly limited to 40 people.  Finger-food and vouchers for tastings or wine, beer and soft drink by the glass are included in the ticket price OF $65. Further drinks can be purchased at the bar.

 

Also a lucky door prize will be awarded at no cost.

 

If you cannot attend or miss out on a ticket, you can still participate by making an advance bid for the auction items from the list to be circulated before the event.

 

The Laos school projects run by RCCMS refurbish classrooms and toilets at village schools in Laos, near Luang Prabang. The Laotian people have a strong desire for education but limited resources and RCCMS with your help is working to address this issue.

A DAY IN THE COUNTRY WITH FRIENDS

Report by Frank O’Brien

 

Even with 2 late scratchings, a field of 28 people representing members and partners of RCCMS and RC Echuca Moama gathered at the Tooborac Hotel near Heathcote on Sunday 20 March.

 It was a very pleasant afternoon of fellowship blessed by perfect weather, giving us all the opportunity to meet and greet, enjoy each others company and reinvigorate the longstanding relationship existing between our 2 Clubs.

There were no formalities at the hotel, just nonstop talk and laughter, culminating in a fascinating tour of the associated micro brewery next door.

 If ever you are driving past and haven’t time for a meal, at least do yourself a favour and stop and purchase a lamb and shiraz pie. Absolutely delicious!!

Our next get together will be over the June Queens Birthday weekend at the Echuca Steam Rally organised by RC Echuca Moama where we will be assisting at the event…watch this space.

 

During the tour of the brewery with PP Doug Robertson and Pres Mike Stansbury, RC Echuca-Moama, someone was heard to say "Go ahead-Make my day!"

Greetings all,

Just a quick Monday note to say thank you to all the people who contributed to our first successful Saturday op shop morning.  The morning was very successful with many of our customers commenting on what a great idea it is to have a Saturday market and could we do it again in a pay week.

Great feedback!

The sausage sizzle went well and the aroma of fried onions is probably responsible for bringing so many people.  I did over cater (better than under catering) and we have enough sausages in the freezer for our next sausage sizzle.

Many items of  clothing found new homes and the items that arrived on Friday – three boxes of Bonds baby and toddler clothing – barely touched the table before they were snapped up.  Many thanks to Rob Hines and the folk at Rotary Club Central Melbourne Sunrise. The club provided the boxes of Bonds clothing as part of the ongoing Fitzroy Crossing project.
 

We also had more donations of books, baby bouncers and shoes that arrived and left on the same day!  Thanks go to the local people and the local services who got behind the idea and lent their support.

  Special thanks to Bullen, Lily, Candice and Hanny whose extra help made it a wonderful day. Also thanks to the support from the Women’s Centre, the Women’s Shelter, Baya Gawiy and the Legal Unit.

Next month will we will remember to take photos – we were too busy on Saturday – so if anyone wants to flex their photography skills we could set up a photo stand and take photos for families.  Family portraits are very popular items.

Until next time

Kind regards,

Carolyn Pickett
