OP SHOP, RECYCLING CENTRE, AND FOOD FOR THOSE IN NEED.
The club operates an extensive Op Shop in Yarra Street, Warrandyte, staffed by a band of hard working volunteers. The Op Shop has a dedicated clientele and people come from all over Melbourne, especially at weekends. Attached to the Op Shop is a recycling collection point. Various items are collected and distributed to relevant people and organizations who use the materials. Some of the items are sent to the local Anglican Church who have a thriving recycling program. Rotarians and other volunteers collect food made by "Alex Makes Meals", for any local in need to avail themselves of. |

WARRANDYTE ART SHOW
The Art Show is held in conjunction with the annual Warrandyte Festival in March. It has been running for 36 years, with a break of 2 years during covid lockdowns. The Art Show reflects the important influence of art in the Warrandyte and surrounding area historically and currently with many local and interstate artists submitting. The Opening Night is always a great social event in the Festival calendar. We appreciate the generosity of the Warrandyte Community Bank and the Warrandyte Riverside Market for their sponsorship of this event. |
