Plenty on the agenda

Blue Lake Fun Run & Library Markets keep the Lakes Rotary Club busy in coming months

Lakes Rotary Club volunteers are now at the sharp end of planning for this year’s OneFortyOne Blue Lake Fun Run and registrations are now open. The efforts that go into the planning of this event alone are significant, but it doesn’t stop the club from being active in other areas including recycling programs and Library Market planning.

The popular Library Market returns on November 13 and already more than 50 stallholders have registered with the market coordinator. If you are interested in having a stall for the December Market and are yet to register you better get in quick as the club has had to put a cap of 80 stalls for the event and spots are filling fast.

Community support of events like the Fun Run and Library Market provide Lakes Rotary the opportunity to give back to community and recently the club was privileged to assist UnitingCare Mount Gambier with a donation of $5000 towards their Emergency Food Relief program. UnitingCare have seen a significant increase in requests for support over recent months and Lakes Rotary’s donation will make a real difference to local families.

These events, along with other fundraising activities are not possible without volunteers and the club has also recently inducted two new members, Jo and John Wright, who want to make a difference and have a strong community spirit. New members are always welcome.
