The proceeds from the club's very successful High Tea were presented to the designated recipients at last Tuesday's meeting.
Chief organiser Lyn Fava handed a cheque for $5092.17 to Yvonne Moon who is the inspiration behind the ROCAN program which stands for Rotarian Ovarian Cancer Research. Yvonne expressed her gratitude to the club for their fantastic efforts and generosity. She said the funds will go towards purchasing a block of land in the Riverwalk Estate in Werribee which will be followed by the construction of a Wellness Centre.
Another cheque for $2548.90 was presented to the Assistant Principal of Wyndham Central College, Connie Faranda, to establish some hands-on learning programs at the school. Connie was also grateful for the donation. She said the High Tea was a wonderful team effort between Werribee Rotary and the school and she hoped the partnership would continue to grow.
