Rotary Club of Ringwood: Fundraising for the bushfire appeal

Published by Alex Makin on Saturday 21st of February, 2009

One of the key principles of Rotary is Service Above Self, with the organisation and its clubs holding regular fundraising activities to assist the community and people in need.

Today the Rotary Club of Ringwood organised a fundraising appeal to assist people affected by the recent bushfires.

Members collected money from passing cars at the Maroondah Highway and Mount Dandenong Road intersection and it was encouraging to see a number of people giving generously to this worthy cause.

The Rotary Club of Ringwood is currently confirming the amount of money that was raised and all proceeds will be directed towards the bushfire appeal. Thank you to the many people that assisted the club and to everyone that donated money to this worthy cause.
