Pinjarra Fencing Expedition

A great turn out of Collie Rotarians and local community members joined forces in the Pinjarra district to assist with fencing.  Approximately 10km of fencing was undertaken.  The fencing was carried out on a farm where 120 livestock were lost; livestock and fencing replaceable at considerable expense.  The farmer was very humble and appreciative of the generosity and the work load accomplished over the 2 days.  The weekend just proved how the Collie community can band together in times of need.

 

Jan Gillard raised a total of $5,500 and with the Club's contribution of $5,000 has ensured the mobile trauma unit remains operational for another month.  It is hoped that the mobile trauma unit can remain operational as donations are received.

 

President Neil thanked all Rotarians for their tireless efforts, including in the rain, over the two days.
