Trivia evening to support kinder goals

THE annual Rokewood Kindergarten trivia night is set to return next week, this time with a throwback theme for a classic decade.

Set for next Friday at the Rokewood Memorial Hall, much of the evening’s quizzing will be around the 1980s with the traditionally adults-only event offering parents a break from the kids.

The event is the kinder’s biggest fundraiser of the year, and president Rachelle Carter said it’ll be a fun nostalgic night for most of the family.

“People can dress up in anything 80s related” she said. “Most, though not all questions will be based on the 1980s,” she said.

“We have a different theme each year and this one was suggested by a few people.”

With Trivia with Wheels’ Greg Wheelahan hosting the evening, silent auctions, raffles, and an esky full of free alcohol will be up for grabs as well as prizes for best dressed.

Cash from the upcoming event will go towards an extended veranda canopy as well as room soundproofing, which is where last year’s cash went as well.

Funds from previous trivia nights have gone towards a veranda enclosure and toy and equipment maintenance for the students’ play space.

Ms Carter said the veranda extension is especially important.

“When it rains, it’s really slippery. We have a blind for outside where the kids can still play it they’re down,” she said.

“But they still have to walk up and down the ramp to get to and from the kinder room so they still end up getting wet just to do anything.”

The previous trivia night raised about $2000 and the event typically raises about $3000 to $4000 each year.
