It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the passing of our beloved friend and fellow Rotarian, Brian Atkins.
Brian was a cherished member of the Keilor Rotary Club whose warmth, generosity, and unwavering commitment to service touched so many lives. His presence, good humor and contribution to the club will be dearly missed.
Our guest speaker for our meeting on April 28th is Lauren Philpot Mother's Day Classic Ambassador.
Lauren Philpot - Mother's Day Classic Ambassador
Lauren Philpot is a lifelong Maribyrnong resident and, since her mother's diagnosis and passing with breast cancer, has been a passionate crusader for breast and ovarian cancer research She is the founder of the "Leigh Leigh's" in honour of her mum, and is a Mother's Day Classic Ambassador.
Lauren established the Foundation’s Mother’s Day Run & Walk on the Maribyrnong River a few years back. She says that she did that "not only to raise money and awareness for breast and ovarian cancer but also to promote community engagement by bringing two councils, numerous clubs, and communities together. Everyone is welcome, dogs too!”
This year's Mother's Day Classic on the Maribyrnong is on Mother's Day, Sunday 10 May from Coulson Gardens Maribyrnong with a 10km run and a 4km walk. Full details at Mothers Day Classic

critical care for our youngest and most vulnerable patients and giving families hope during
their most challenging moments.

Kent's circumstances and his story of not having anyone to share Christmas with, and asking for his hamper to be put under his tree so that he had something to open on Christmas Day, is a summary of our whole project - just multiply it by 100.
Kent's representative situation, his delight and his thanks, underline the community value of this project, and reinforce why it continues to be such a rewarding one for our Club and its members.
The Rotary Club of Keilor has now been undertaking its annual Christmas Bag project for more than 20 years. The project provides Bolton Clarke Community Nurses with 100 Christmas Bags to deliver to their most elderly, isolated, restricted and socio and economically restricted patients in Melbourne’s western suburbs.
It’s a massive effort every year to fundraise, seek cash and product donations, pick up, store and eventually pack the bags for the Community Nurses to collect and deliver in the days leading up to Christmas. Packing is an all of Club effort, and this year we had some great volunteers and family members to support us on our packing night.
As a result of the assistance we received for the project for Christmas 2025, including through product donations, Club fundraising and the support of a Rotary Foundation District Grant, we were able to deliver a value approaching $14,000 ($140 each) to the 100 recipients of the Bags.
Look at the photos and read the storyboards – they are what convince us to come back every year.
