Food and Wine Cheque Presentation
The Cheque presentation to Wagga Wagga High School, the proceeds of the 2013 Food and Wine Festival, was held at a school assembly on Wednesday 8th May, with around 900 students, including Nelson Alverado, watching on.
The School Principal, Michael Powell, welcomed the contingent of around twelve members of Wollundry Rotary, and Mark Hillis was also attending in his role as principal of Riverina BMW, the Naming Sponsor of the event. He explained to the student body that the school had submitted an application for help, been selected, and that students, teachers and parents had worked alongside the Rotarians for three days at the festival site. Michael noted the positive work done by Rotary in the community, and the theme of satisfaction through work for others.
Wollundry President Andrew then presented the cheque, and the students seemed to be very impressed by the size of the “dollars” involved. A presentation back to Andrew from some of the students in the special education classes followed.
