Rotary Gets Charitable This Christmas

Rotary Club of Ayr says no to Domestic Violence and has raised funds towards the Burdekin DV Support at Burdekin Community Association (BCA).

Club champions Narelle Hibberd and Shane Moon have guided the club over the years with different activities raising funds towards projects with one of these being home starter kits for families in crisis.

Senior member Frank Nucifora presented BCA CEO Debra Cochrane with a cheque for $562 towards the DV starter kits at the Rotary Club’s shed meeting last Thursday evening, December 7.

This funding was raised from a raffle held over the past couple of weeks.

“A big thank you to the community and members for the support behind this initiative,” the Rotary Club of Ayr said.

Members also got behind the BCA Christmas Hampers appeal and presented the donations of food items.

Debra gave a speech of thanks to the members present and how it will help the community in need.

Last week, on a separate gifting to the community, Frank presented the donations of Christmas Cakes to BCA and Meals on Wheels.

Rotary Club of Ayr supports the annual donations towards these organisations.
