Rotary club calls for project wishes

HEALESVILLE Rotary Club wants locals to request projects that they want to see at the club.
“It’s about making sure activities are in tune with our community,” said the Rotary’s project investigative committee chairman, John Robinson.
In the past 23 years, Rotary Club members have made an enormous contribution to Healesville with community-focused projects.
They have helped fund the heated swimming pool, boardwalks and barbecues at the Don Road Sports Complex, gave financial support to the high school gym and relocation of Badger Creek Primary School, and provided the ambulance service with life-saving equipment.
Members meet every month for Candlebark, an afternoon of fun for elderly and nursing home residents, and annually for the Debutante Ball.
Youth activities, the community service directory, a bus service and annual citizenship awards also benefit local people of all ages.
“Now, we’re asking the community to help us,” said Mr Robinson.
“We are asking for submissions for potential activities to be sent to us by 31 January next year, so we can start to plan our future directions.”
Projects should be of direct benefit to the community, focus on one group or a cross-section of the community, meet immediate, medium-term or long-term needs, and have low, medium or high-cost plans.
Submissions in writing should be sent to PIC Committee, The Rotary Club of Healesville, PO Box 72, Healesville. 3777.
