Great Rotary Give-Away, our Spring Appeal.

18 October 2021, 09:00 - 26 October 2021, 17:30

We are embarking on our ‘Great Rotary Give-Away, Spring Appeal’ where we will be filling 500 Backsacks with many essential toiletry items for the whole family.  The Backsacks include toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, deodorant, hair comb/brush, shampoo, bath scrunchie and a bath towel with a little surprise inside!

Our club was awarded a District Grant, with matching funds from some of our generous members, that has enabled this project that we started in 2019.  We need your help in distributing the items at the pickup location of PCYC South Sydney from 18 – 26 October, 9 am – 5:30 pm.   A number of your fellow Rotarians have been busy at work, filling the Backsacks ready for the ‘Give-Away.’  We would love to see you help out by volunteering a few hours during the week.  Please contact Thelma Raman, Chair of our Rotary Foundation and Climate Action Group to get on the roster.  Please email Thelma at:  taraman2014@gmail.com.

Thank you in advance for giving so generously and for pitching in by helping to make many community members in South Sydney enjoy some essential items.
