The Rotary Club of Port Fairy may have been on recess from meetings during January 2017 but the Club remained active on a number of fronts including some successful fundraising activities.
 
Apart from the voluntary work done in conducting the Backwards Running Race as part of the NYE Moyneyana Festival and managing a venue for the Port Fairy Jazz Festival, the club also ran a NYE BBQ that raised ~$674, finalised ticket sales for the annual Car Raffle that netted a profit of $2,434 and a Painting Raffle which, although not yet been finalised, should realise a profit of ~$1,000 when all costs are accounted for.
 
The Club is grateful for the donation of a painting by Wilma Preston for the raffle and the work of all Rotarians in helping sell raffle tickets and run BBQs.
