Outgoing President Sue Robertson presented her report on the 2019/20 year at the recent Port Fairy Rotary Changeover dinner.  Sue described the year as comprising two very different parts - normal operation until March this year then a dramatically changed world with the arrival of COVID-19.  The first part was a busy time for the Club with very successful fundraising and service activities. Despite the shutdown of fundraising for the final quarter, the Club was able to distribute over $26,000 to local, national and international good causes.

 

 

The corona virus has curtailed the activities of the Port Fairy Rotary Club in recent months. However the Cancer Council's Biggest Morning Tea has been transformed into lots of little morning teas as a way to raise funds for the Cancer Council during this difficult time. The Cancer Council provides services to Australians affected by cancer, operates the school SunSmart program and contributes $60 million annually to cancer research.  Along with other local organisations, the Club has organised several little teas during June to contribute to this effort. While each event raises a modest amount, it all adds up to big result!
