As you will all be aware, the Virtual Ticket Draw was held on 4 June. A total of 1156 tickets were sold and around $73,000 has been raised for our Charity Account. This was a fantastic accomplishment by the Committee led by Juergen and by all the Club Members. Thank you to all that participated.
Our Rotary Ribfest planning is going well, and we have approval for the event from the City, City Covid-Committee and the Health Inspector. Set-up will start at 8am on Thursday 24 June and the event will be from 11am to 8pm on Friday 25 and Saturday 26 and from 11am to 7pm on Sunday 27th. This will be a drive-through style service and the volunteer positions are easier to manage, with 3-hour shifts. You can choose the day, time and duty you wish, but pick them early as they tend to be going quickly. Please sign up for shifts and help our club support our many charities through this great fund raising / community engagement event. The following link can be used to sign-up:
