Clean Up Australia Day

It’s Clean Up Australia Day tomorrow and there’s a few events popping up in the area.

Join Montrose Township Group at the Montrose Town Centre on Sunday 6 March from 9am – 11am.

Meet your neighbours outside the cottage and help tidy the town in a fun morning out with the family.

Gloves and rubbish bags will be provided but bring you own hat, sunscreen and water bottle.

Don’t forget the community rubbish group, No Reason For Rubbish, is also inviting locals to join a Clean Up Australia day event in Lilydale.

Founder Cindy DeLuca hopes locals can attend the clean up which will be held Lilydale Chirnside Park ribbons of green service roads on Shepherds Lane.

The area is known for having high amounts of litter which local members of the group tackle often.

The group formed last year and aims to tackle a rise in rubbish being seen in the Yarra Ranges Shire.

For anyone interested in joining the No Reason For Rubbish group across the Yarra Ranges, they’re encouraged to contact the Facebook page.

Please contact Cindy DeLuca if you’re interested in attending on 0419 002 761, in case the meeting point is changed.

Boronia View Club meetings

Boronia View Club meets on the third Friday of each month (except this year our normal meeting date in April will fall on Good Friday so April’s meeting will be on the fourth Friday.) Normally $27 is charged for lunch but because March is our birthday month with lots of other things happening $30 will be charged. All monies raised through raffles, stalls etc goes towards our sponsored Learning for Life students through The Smith Family-helping needy children with educational needs.

So, for March Boronia View (Voice, Interests and Education of Women) Club will meet at 11.30am at Eastwood Golf Club, Liverpool Road Kilsyth with lunch being at a cost of $30. Elia Cannizzo will be the singer/entertainer for the afternoon.

We enjoy the company of ladies of all ages and backgrounds so please come along and you will be warmly welcomed.
