Volunteers are a very important part of the Melbourne Chapter.

Volunteers contribute significantly to enhancing the experiences we can offer to members and guests. (And they earn PDU's.)

Melbourne Chapter support for MOVEMBER
The Movember Foundation is a not-for-profit, charitable organisation which runs the men's health initiative, Movember. Each year, they are responsible for the appearance of moustaches on thousands of men's faces across the globe, with the aim of raising vital funds and awareness for men's health, specifically prostate cancer and depression in men.
The Melbourne Chapter is privileged to have one of its members participating. Paul O'Connor is sacrificing himself and growing a Mo for Movember. Please be generous in your support of Paul and his friends (the Moditor-Generals) in the fund raising endeavours.
To donate to this worthy cause and support Paul and the Moditor-Generals go to: http://au.movember.com/mospace/10442/
Remember, all donations over $2 are tax deductible.
