Club members and a group of Knox volunteers were up early to offer the Wahroonga Community an opportunity to make a contribution to the Cancer Council's special fundraising day.

Thanks to Dr Yvonne McMaster Kuringgai Women of the year and Cancer advocate for joining out team.

They assembled at the Wahroonga Railway station at 6.30am and raised $1500.

Well done folks and thanks to Jenetta! More pics: Here

A real Community spirit

Posted by Ian Cameron on Aug 22, 2018

It isn't often one has the pleasure of meeting a person with such a creative approach to supporting people less fortunate than ourselves.

Today we had the pleasure of meeting such a fellow Chris Savill, who has created a business model embracing well qualified trades people with a willingness to offer their services to assist a family, or individual, or community group that is struggling and in genuine need of trade services? United Tradies

Congratulations Chris --a wonderful concept --Chris would like recommendations of valuable capable trades people to include among his "welfare army"

The support for Drought relief from all over Australia is fantastic. Whether it be large Corporate donations--or local country town collections.

Supporting our Rural Colleagues

Posted by Ian Cameron on Aug 01, 2018

President Stuart Armstrong is asking how you might help our country communities who are experiencing the consequences of severe drought.

It is important to remember that often time money is the best sort of assistance that we can send.

The money can be converted into grocery cards administered by agencies such as The Salvation Army, CWA, Rural Aid, local Rotary Clubs and Councils.

Wahroonga Rotary will have members conducting local community collections but you may also visit our Donation Web page and make a direct online contribution.

Go to : Drought Relief Project

An electronic acknowledgment and a Tax deductible receipt will be sent

Thanks you for your participation.

Stuart

The PACE program at Macquarie University (Professional and Community Engagement)

I will talk about the PACE program at Macquarie University (Professional and Community Engagement) and present a recent assignment I was involved in as an academic working for PACE, in partnership with an organisation in Nepal. The project was to evaluate a program to address child marriage in this country.
