 District Governor Jeff Egan recently wrote a letter (see Download section on the right) to all Rotarians in District 9640, advising that a dedicated Flood Appeal account has been set up for Rotarians (and anyone else, for that matter) to contribute to a flood appeal to benefit victims of the horrendous floods some regions experienced over the past two weeks. As is common for any Rotary-based appeals, there will be no administration fees, director's remunerations etc. All funds end up directly at the target, the people who were affected. If a donor does not require the donation to have tax deductibility status, it is preferable that donations should be deposited into the following account: Rotary International District 9640 Ltd. BSB: 084462, Account No: 816279059 This is the account to which Rotary clubs should donate. If tax deductibility is required, please use this account: Keith Wilson Relief Trust Fund BSB: 633000 Account No: 175308303 The name of the donor needs to be included on the deposit AND please send via email to PDG Sandra Doumany at srmd@bigpond.net.au (Note: the original post had a typo - this is the correct address): 1. the name of the donor 2. the amount of the deposit 3. any requirement for the donation to be spent on a specific area (if requested). |
Past President Joanne Winwood and Paul O'neill launched the Community Bench at Cascade Gardens today. Paul promoted our wheelchairs project, complete with pull-up banner. The council had organised a "Senior's Garden Party" to launch "the first purpose built, safe and accessible garden space for seniors..."
Good meeting for pre-dinner drinks at Benowa Tavern last Thursday: (from left): Ross Augustine, Paul Graham Seymour, Mario Fairlie, Paul O'neill, Darrell Brown, Andrew Bell. Picture by Charles Thomasson - seems there wasn't anyone else within half a mile to take the picture so he could be in it too...
