East Central

The East Central (Boroondara) group meets in Camberwell, at

8pm on the first Tuesday of each month
at the Camberwell Community Centre,
33 Fairholm Grove (behind Safeways/Target) [Melways 45:K12]

On the last Sunday of each month, jointly with Inner South Group, we hold a STALL in the Camberwell Rotary Market.

In 2011, East Central was one of eight Australian Amnesty groups focussing our efforts on securing the release of Su Su Nway, a prisoner of conscienc in Burma. If you signed a petition, letter or card on her behalf - THANK YOU - and rejoice that you contributed to a wonderful outcome. On 12 October, Su Su was set free !
During 2012, we hope to work for the release of another prisoner of conscience.
