Rotary digs deep for bushfire fundraiser

The Rotary Club of Wandin has donated $10,000 to the Bush Fire Appeal through the Rotary Club of Corryong.

The club has been raising funds over several weeks through the Wandin Custom Car and Bike Show, Australia Day breakfast and most recently a fundraiser at Mont De Lancey Homestead, which attracted 50 members of the Recreational Vehicle Fellowship of Rotarians.

Rotary Club of Wandin president Dennis Hoehne said the club wanted to donate funds directly to the affected community as he saw the devastation in the Corryong and Upper Murray district.

The Rotary Club of Corryong will distribute funds to those in need throughout the Upper Murray community.

Secretary of the Rotary Club of Corryong Doug Hill said, “On behalf of the Rotary Club of Corryong, and all of the Upper Murray residents affected by the bush fires, they wish to thank the Rotary Club of Wandin for their generous donation, and to assure you we will ensure the money will go to those most in need.”
