The Rotary Club of Croydon is one of two Rotary clubs based in Maroondah and meets on a weekly basis each Tuesday evening. Rotary Clubs, while being part of Rotary International, are largely autonomous and able to devote time and funds to local community based projects.
This afternoon I was invited to conduct the raffle draw for the club to determine winners of its Christmas Hamper and other prizes. The winners were most appreciative of their prizes and it was great to see the strong number of participants in the raffle.
Proceeds will be donated to worthwhile community projects, ensuring that Rotary is serving our local community. Maroondah is fortunate to have two strong and active Rotary Clubs within our municipality. Both clubs are part of district 9810 and have worked together on a number of projects on behalf of the Maroondah community.
