2023 BOOK FAIR WRAPS UP
Well, that’s a wrap for the 2023 Northern Gold Coast Rotary Book Fair. We've sold over 10,000 books/DVDs/CDs and we had over 2,000 visitors through the door.
The shelves are empty but our hearts are full. We are so grateful for the huge support from the local community – to everyone who donated their unwanted books to everyone who attended over the weekend. It was wonderful to see so many people inside the centre browsing and buying books. And it was great to see so many people with a love of reading and/or books – especially all the children. Thank you all so much for supporting our Book Fair.
We are also so very grateful to local businesses and community groups for their support – these include Mark Boothman MP, Theodore who is always an awesome support for our Rotary Club before and during the event, The Meeting Place, Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort, Missy Peacharoo, Bunnings Warehouse Australia Oxenford, Precinct Brewing, Witches Falls Winery, Zaraffas Ormeau and of course, without the wonderful members of our sister club - Northern Gold Coast Rotaract - the event would not have been possible, and we are hugely grateful for their mammoth efforts. Once again, we were blown away by the amazing support from our community – thank you from us and we look forward to seeing you all soon at future community events.
As this is now a regular event in the Rotary Club’s calendar, book donations have been flooding in ahead of the 2024 event and we have started holding working bees to get them all sorted and boxed up ready for next year.
A great community event, run by the local community for the local community. See you next year!
We really do have a wonderful local community. T
The inaugural Northern Gold Coast Rotary Book Fair was a huge success. We are so grateful for the huge support from the local community – it was wonderful to see so many people from our local area inside the Oxenford Community Centre, browsing and buying the books. And it is great to see so many people with a love of reading and/or books – especially all the children.
HELPING THE HELENSVALE COMMUNITY
This week, Martin Mankowski and Past President, Tony Lines presented a cheque for $500 to Helensvale State School Principal Heidi Booth and Josh Kelly. They were very grateful for the donation and the funds will be used to provide food and uniforms for students from less-fortunate families at the school.
These funds were raised via the Rotary Club of Coomera Valley's ‘Wacky Treasure Hunt’ co-ordinated by our Honorary Member, Kerry Dunn and assisted by Martin and other club members.
Principal Heidi confirmed that they look forward to strengthening the links with Rotary and are interested in Rotary’s Youth Programs. We will be working closely with the school in the near future regarding an EarlyAct club, helping them to establish a club, if they so require.
We are delighted to be able to assist our local community in this way.
The Club is always keen to assist any local schools or community groups where we can so if you are aware of any community group requiring assistance or support, please let us know via this page or by email to coomeravalleyrotary@gmail.com
