#PeopleofAction - Tree Planting Day & Run Melbourne Fundraiser

What are the odds that two (2) club projects/events would occur on the same day, that exactly happened to us on Sunday, 29th July 2018. It was a fulfilling day for the club and we enjoyed it so much! This is why we join Rotary because we are PEOPLE OF ACTION!

Tree Planting Day - in conjunction with National Tree Day

It was National Tree Day where Rotarians joined together from clubs (Southbank, Croydon, North Melbourne, Essendon North), scouts and other community groups to plant trees. Thanks to a huge turn out of volunteers, we planted over 4,000 trees in under an hour!

Run Melbourne - Fundraiser for Steps Outreach Service

We raised a massive total of $8,691.54 through donation & fundraising for Steps Outreach Service in conjunction with Run Melbourne 2018.
