Thank you St Johns Rotary. These are difficult time for sure. We know that there are people out there suffering yet with the Lockdown it is impossible for us as Rotarians to get out and help.
There is a bright light in that our recent Golf Tournament, under the team led by David Hartstone, not only squeaked in ahead of the restrictions by the thinnest of margins but made more that previous tournaments. Out of that outstanding success the club donated $22,316 to KidsCan, supporting their services at a time where there is extreme need.
KidsCan was feeding 34,000 children daily and now reports that with schools closed thousands of kids are going hungry. Just ahead of the Lockdown they were able to send to send food home for the kids via the schools but while hoping to be designated an essential service they have had to suspend operations. If they are unable to feed the children in need during the Lockdown the demand for their services immediately after this is lifted will be enormous
Well done to all who participated in the St Johns Rotary Tournament, St Johns Rotary and the major sponsor Freightways.
