Barwon Health Renal Services - Moving to new location.
After nearly 30 years in Rotary House, Renal Services at Barwon Health have moved to a new facility at 74-76 Swanston Street. Barwon Heath are conscious of the enormous debt of gratitude they owe to the local Rotary Clubs who were integral in raising funds to establish the Rotary house Dialysis Unit in 1989. The Unit was the first non-metropolitan dialysis unit in Victoria. The building on the corner of Ryrie and Swnston Streets will retain the name 'Rotary House' and will be used by another clinical service from Barwon Health.
 
Dinner Auction Update:  Unfortunately the dinner auction will not proceed this year. We look forward to having it on again next year in October. We are thinking about running a trivia night to boost our funds. So watch this space.
 
Meeting Attendance.
