FROM THE PRESIDENT'S DESK - 13 DECEMBER 2017
With the festive season upon us, on Wednesday the 13th, members, families and friends of the Rotary Club of Berwick including the Inner Wheel Club of Berwick, converged onto the Forest Edge Restaurant in Gembrook for the traditional Christmas Celebratory Dinner. Set in idyllic surrounds, Forest Edge provided the perfect backdrop for a truly wonderful experience for all in attendance.
 
Forest Edge was filled with the spirit of Christmas and good old Rotary fellowship and cheer. Thank you to the 80+ people who joined in the fun and made it all possible!!  A Big thank you also to Di Double, our Social Coordinator, who worked so hard to put it all together. It was a great success!!

CAROLS 2017
Carols by Candlelight – 2017
On the 16th of December the Rotary Club of Berwick had the privilege to host the 5th edition of the Carols by Candlelight at the Edwin Flack reserve in Berwick. It was a wonderful event with an estimated crowd of 4,000 enjoying the balmy evening and all the performances. Santa Claus proved to be a very popular visitor and the show culminated in a spectacular fireworks display.
 
With performances from the Berwick College Vocal Ensemble, the Melbourne Youth Chorale, the Casey Choir, Bethany Fisher and the one and only Shu Cheen Yu, the crowd were treated to a very special Carols by Candlelight.
 
Thank you to all who participated. We hope you enjoyed the evening and we look forward to seeing you at the 2018 event.
