The Rotary Club of Goolwa has donated $30,000 to fit out the new Goolwa Surf Lifesaving Club's medical room, ensuring it will be ready to go for any emergencies when the club reopens later this year.
Goolwa Rotary President Noeline Biermann said the group had carried out a determined, four year long fundraising campaign to achieve their $30,000 goal of funding the fit out.
This latest donation marks an almost decade long relationship between the Rotary Club of Goolwa and the Goolwa SLSC.
Nine years ago, the Rotary Club bought the SLSC an IRB vessel named in honour of longtime Rotary member, the late Brian Hurrell.
They also worked alongside Lions to provide the club with a 4WD, among many other fundraisers which have contributed to a variety of causes, including the club's surf watch tower.
Goolwa SLSC President, David Reynolds said Rotary have been amazing long-time supporters of the Club.
"They've been fantastic and from day one, they've been on board and have donated a great deal of money," he said.
"As part of our first aid commitment to the community, the medical room facilities will be utilised not just by the surf club, but also by SA Ambulance as well being open for ongoing community first aid training.
"The club is so grateful for the help of Rotary which has been ongoing from a time even before Goolwa SLSC began to establish itself, they've been a backbone for the Club."
