Our guest speaker on Monday was Nadine Cooper who is the National Corporate Partnership Manager for Ronald McDonald House and spoke to us about the organisation and the proposed facility in Dunedin in the near future.
This facility will be of great benefit to families in Central Otago and it is for that reason that a team of Cromwell Rotarians have volunteered to run a supper ball to raise funds for this facility.
Since 2020 families from Central Otago have stayed 4168 nights in Ronald McDonald houses and family rooms around the country. This amounts to over $700,000 in accommodation, meals etc for families which is a genuine lifeline for many families.
The Dunedin House is hoping to be open around the same time as the new Dunedin Hospital and Central Otago families will benefit greatly from this.
Cromwell Rotary Club will be holding a Gala Supper Ball and Auction event to raise funds for this very worthy project that will benefit the lives of many Central Otago families in their moment of need.
The sumptuous evening will be held at The Gate Conference Centre in Cromwell, with table platters and a finger food supper buffet, a dance band, a guest speaker and a variety of items to be auctioned.
Guests will be greeted with a complimentary glass of Central Otago wine on arrival and seated at tables of ten with a maximum guest list of 120 people. Individual tickets will be $100 and tables of 10 will sell for $900.
There is already great interest in this event so if you would like to book a seat or a table, we recommend you get in early and let Neroli know now by emailing her on neroli.mcrae@gmail.com asap.
