Wow what a night! Two hundred people were there all prepared to come and enjoy the night and donate to a great cause.  Paul Coleman who was sponsored by our club to go to RYLA many years ago is the Director of this organization and gave a rundown and slide presentation of what they had been doing for the past year with the kids they take on camps and mentor throughout the year in their various programs.

 

The main auction of large items such as a barbeque, meat tray, guinea pigs, chickens, paintings, weekends away plus many more exciting lots created much frantic bidding in the room. There was also a silent auction of many hundreds of items plus gift vouchers - something for everyone from $2 to $100. The chance to win an Ipad by having the key to unlock the padlock was once again well supported and maybe Joy and I will have better luck next time!

A great chance to socialise with people from all walks of life young and old.

 

Congratulations must go to all the organisers who like us, are all volunteers. And yes you are waiting to find out - how much did they raise on the night ?

District Governor’s Letter
August 2016.

My Fellow Rotarians,
By the time you receive the August issue of SEEDS, Pamela and I will have visited at least 17 clubs. All are working hard to do Good in the      World. Little clubs and big clubs raising funds, great and small, for local and over-seas projects and contributing to Rotary Serving Humanity. We have seen the generosity of Rotary and Rotarians in the donations already made by these clubs and we congratulate them on their service to Humanity. What a great example to the communities around these clubs. I thank you all for your wonderful work in the name of Rotary and I know International President John Germ would be pleased with your efforts in July 2016.
