Tuesday, 28 January 2020 – 6pm for Bistro Dinner, Meeting commences at 7pm at Mounties, Mount Pritchard. It will be a Club Forum and Fellowship Night followed by a Club Board Meeting.
Our Club has set up a RABS Project for our Drought Relief Fund Raising going forward, this has now been registered and is called “Drought Relief Assistance in Western NSW”, use of this project provides tax deductibility to donations made to our ongoing drought relief projects. Funds raised will be used provide Drought and Relief Vouchers of $50 in value that can be redeemed in the locally (a limit of $400 per family will apply, they will not be able to be used for purchase of alcohol, tobacco or gaming). Support will be provided to local schools to assist students suffering hardship to fund school excursions, sporting equipment etc. Multiple districts will to benefit from this, but it will only be available in areas that have a local Rotary Club that can assist with identification of people in need of this support and administration. Where possible we will be working with the local Branches of the Country Women's Association and other local Community Groups. Community Functions such as BBQ's and get-togethers will be funded. Other forms of support will be considered on their merits.
It is important to note that no funds raised through this project will go Bushfire Aid as RAWCS has a specific Australia Wide Project – see later.
We are off to a Flying start in 2020 Members Lam Zen Centre have decided to hire one large stall at Fairfield Showground during the Tet Festival (Lunar new year) from 31 January to 2 February/20. They will serve vegetarian foods. All money raised will be given to Rotary Liverpool West to support our ongoing drought relief program.
Rotary National Bushfire Appeal Project 68-2019-20
We have all seen the disastrous fires that have erupted, taking lives as well as destroying hundreds of homes and properties across Australia.
Rotary is once again taking the lead and looking to provide support for families in need. To this end several Rotary Districts and Clubs have established projects which are ready and able to accept donations from you. All of those projects can apply for funds from this appeal.
