The Summer Book Sale, proved to be a very popular event in the busy Cromwell event calendar a couple of weekends ago. We sent out a huge thank you to our generous community for helping us to raise $15,800 for individuals and groups in our community. A portion of the funds raised will also support Rotary Foundation.
A fundraiser such as this relies on a huge amount of work behind the scenes, so many thanks to the committee for their tireless efforts in the lead up to the event and together with other members and friends of the Cromwell Rotary Club for their time over the extremely hot weekend to run this very successful event.
We can advise members that we are opening the Rotary Book Exchange Container at Freeway Orchard again from Sunday 26th January as the collection point for books. So please pass on the word that we welcome contributions from that date onwards for the King’s Birthday weekend book sale.
Once again many local businesses and organisations gave their support to enable us run this event. Our sincere thanks to R&R Hire Ltd, Contact Energy, Freeway Orchard, Golden View Lifestyle Village, Cromwell Lions Club, and The Cromwell Bowling Club.
Gang patches!
Happy crowds enjoying a break from the heat outside.
Nothing better than getting absorbed in a good book.
