Mount Dandenong Hotel will be opening its doors on Wednesday 7th December for folks to drop in at 11am for Morning Coffee, 2pm for Afternoon Tea and 6pm for those who want to come along after work, with the opportunities to find our about the efforts to start up a special environmentally focused Rotary Club in the Hills.

This initiative is supported by the ‘Hills Creative Alliance’ team, who are also inviting speakers involved in the recovery to share their stories during at Zoom session on Monday evenings at 7pm.

The Hills Creative Alliance recently received funding from the Hills Community Recovery Committee to encourage and engage local folks to step forward to take up volunteering opportunities to help the communities along the Tourist Road, as well as Sherbrooke and Kallista. ‘Volunteering Victoria’ is backing this initiative, as are local Rotary Clubs. The Country Women’s Association has also taken a keen interest is establishing a group that meets once a month at Karwarra Garden, and at the first two sessions there were opportunities to find out about local birds, as well as hearing from Shelley Graham, one of the gardeners who works to maintain this wonderful garden to the highest standard.
