Ally joined Rotary to meet new people and be a part of an organisation with strong ties to the local community while also making a difference around the world
We are a family-friendly service club in beautiful Canberra, Australia, actively working with others to support individuals and, local and international communities.
Thank you very much for purchasing mangoes this year. Woden Daybreak Rotary greatly appreciates your support and we are happy to advise that this has been our most successful mango drive yet with the proceeds forming a substantial donation to Rotary's partner ShelterBox. This means that, thanks to you, more people affected by disaster around the world will be assisted with emergency shelter and tools.
In total, this year we have raised $1872 for ShelterBox and the club Board has agreed to increase the donation to a total of $2000. On top of this, an anonymous donor for a short time, has matched all donations received by ShelterBox. So, in effect our donation has generated $4000 worth of support for ShelterBox.
There are many people to thank for the success of the mango fundraiser. While it was a great team effort, it wouldn’t have been a success without the herculean planning, coordination and promotional roles that Rosemary and Helen Lilley undertook. Special mention should also go to Jerry, our biggest mango seller (90 trays), and Steve (Rosemary’s husband) Helen, Yvonne, Robyn Schipp and Gary who helped at the ‘collection centres’, when people came to pick up their mangoes.
Importantly, it was also the effort of many of our club members and friends of our club who purchased our mangoes and encouraged their family and friends to also do so, that made the whole fundraiser a great success.
We look forward to running the mango fundraiser again next year and your support in its ongoing success.
Thank you – everyone.
Given the ongoing problems with COVID-19 we have made the difficult decision not to run this event in 2021.
