On duty this Saturday John and I had a busy time with really good sales and the chance to talk to the customers about Rotary.
To our surprise we met up with Stuart Mandersloot who teaches physics at the private college in Maryborough. His daughter Chelsea was successful attending NYSF in January as a BSSC student. Lindsay called in and took the chance to have a long chat.
It would be good if we could find a way to encourage parents of NYSF students to participate in Rotary - maybe as Friends of Rotary. Each year we have a cohort of these students and parents. Something to consider.
We are seeking your help to achieve our goal - we need donations of items suitable for inclusion in the ‘Mum & Bub’ bags (see details below) to meet our goal of filling 20 satchels to be donated to the Share the Dignity appeal for distribution this Christmas. Share the Dignity also put together other bags (perhaps an idea for another time), but for this Christmas we will be concentrating on providing just the ‘Mum & Bub’ bags.
Donations can be from you personally, your friends, your family, or maybe Rotarians from our neighbouring clubs may like to join forces with us to meet the quota we have set for this effort.
Details of the items specified for this bag are listed below, and your donations can be brought along to our clubrooms on a meeting night or by simply contacting our club at eaglehawkrotary@gmail.com to make more suitable arrangements for your donations to be collected.
(Please note - Eaglehawk Rotary are supplying the bags and the ribbons; the items to be included are what we are seeking to have donated)
Are you interested in learning more about the program - here is a link to the website - a great source of some extra information.
