“A day at the races”at the Maryborough Harness Racing Club, to promote awareness of our #SayNO2familyviolence campaign, was very successful with an estimated 10 million views world wide of the event. In addition the event was screened into over 3500 clubs and pubs throughout Australia; such great visibility of our Club’s program.
Over $2300 was raised out of the event which was a great result.
Special mention must go to Rotarians Bob Butterfield, Chris Frahn and PP Martin Mackay for putting this event together and to President Karen, assisted by Rotarian Terry Allan, for “flogging” all those raffle tickets supplied by Big Cat Printing which netted about $1000.
Thank you also to Country Trends for prizes.
The “Brownlow” would have to go to PHF Bob Osborne for spending the whole day on the microphone hosting the day. Not a bad effort for one of our longest serving Rotarians who hasn’t been in the best of health lately.
Again, another great example of the power of Rotary.
Finally a special thanks to Les Chapman and the Maryborough Harness Racing Club for their continued support of the #SayNO2familyviolence campaign.
