Like most Queenslanders, Alex Rotarians have been saddened to see the flooding catastrophe affecting the outback. So we were really please to donate $2,000 towards the flood relief fund established by Rotary District.
But wait, there's more !! When member Les found out about this, he chipped in another $500. Rounding up the total donation to $2,500.
Good onya Les, that is just fantastic, and very generous of you.
That's the great thing about belonging to this club, while at the moment we are busy raising funds for our annual fundraiser to help the Sunshine Coast, we rise to the need when we can see funds are "going to make a difference".
And wasn't it very telling when Bill and Melissa from Care Outreach thanked the club for the clubs donation, Bill mentioned that he is seeing a LOT more folks on the coast (not outback) availing themselves of Care Outreach's support. Much more so than in previous years.
So well done all members, and a BIG special thanks to Les for adding to the pot, which will go to family support in the flooded area.
