BBQ at Cox Reserve

June 15, 2010

Our Rotary club once again this week ran the BBQ for the community planting day at Cox Reserve in Coburg North.

Here’s a couple of snaps from the day (thanks to our regular visiting Rotarian Lindsay Crossen for the photos):

Thanks too to David Kennedy and Andrew Horgan for running another successful community BBQ and helping once again with our ongoing relationship with the Moreland City Council.

This is the project that we contributed the $20,000 raised after the February 2009 Victorian bushfires — now up and running in the Marysville community.

We’re delighted to have been able to identify a suitable project, with funds also contributed from the Rotary Club of Ringwood, our Rotary District bushfire funds (District 9800), the YMCA and the Salvation Army.

Club commits $20,000 for Marysville YMCA project

June 1, 2010

After the tragic Victorian bushfires in February 2009, the club raised $20,000 in donations to be used towards a future bushfire project.

We’ve now identified a suitable project (thanks to Immediate Past President David Kennedy), and have committed our funds — to the new Marysville YMCA facility.

Our $20,000 will be added to an additional $20,000 from Rotary District 9800 (our own District); plus $10,000 from the YMCA Open Doors Gift Fund and $8,805 from the Salvation Army.

The opening of this facility is this Sunday, 6th June 2010, from 1pm to 3pm.

You’re invited to join us at the event (join Immediate Past President David, President Dean and President-elect Karin) … see the attached 270kb pdf file YMCA_Marysville_opening for more information.
