Club Donations
Money isn't everything, but along with showing our encouragement and practical support fort local causes, we are happy to give a helping financial hand where we can, so the club has made some donations to local community causes..
- $500 has been donated to RESET, a local Domestic Violence Program that Mooloolaba Rotary brought to our attention. They are doing great work in education and prevention of Domestic Violence and just need a bit of support to continue and demonstrate that their long term viability. The Alex Rotary club has a history of support for DV causes, and delighted to contribute to this program.
- The club has donated $1,000 from the Solstice Swim proceeds to the Surf Woman of the Year award. Chloe Silva is the Alex SLSC Surf Woman of teh Year and is known to us from her help with Jackie MacGregor at the Solstice Swim and we're delighted to support a great community cause and a future leader of our community.
- District have generously approved our grant application and are donating $5,000 towards the new Salty Souls Legacy Precinct at the Thrive site in Maroochydore.
- The club are contributing $10,000 towards the centre also, and look forward to a few working bee's to turn the 2 containers into a youth centre for teh "Stand Tall" and other programs that Tamara, Kerry and the team at Salty Souls legacy run fo rthe Sunshine Coast kids.
- The club is also going to donate proceeds from our fundraising, raffles etc to the "Stove Team" which is a Rotary worldwide project to help save childrens lives and protect the environment. Michelle brought this to the clubs attention. Many of us were stunned to learn that 4,000,000 kids lives are lost , kids gained etc through open fires in third world countries. This donation will help the program extend its reach to villages where the local communities are shown and trained to build safe and environmentally better stoves.
