The club has fundraised over $26,000 through running the monthly foreshore markets, Bunnings BBQs, and the introduction of fortnightly fresh fruit and vegetable markets on Belmore Street (first and third Friday of each month). It has also held various raffles and supported other service clubs in various fundraising activities.
The club were also proud to install the first 24-hour accessible AED outside 81 Belmore St, Yarrawonga and hopes to do the same for Mulwala this year.
The club also launched its inaugural Apprenticeship and Trainee Awards.
The winners of these awards were announced at the Rotary leadership changeover lunch recently.
The awards were provided to individuals who demonstrated commitment to their career and their employer, confidence, and the ability to articulate their goals and vision for the future. This project was led ably by Geri Charles, who has a strong background in education.
During the club’s changeover lunch, Dominic Fotia was inducted as president. Outgoing President Jan Marshall has led club members with immense energy and dedication.
