Eumundi Voice - Issue 108, 12 December 2024

A reason for the season

The recent Eumundi Rotary Trivia Night at Cooroy RSL on 4 December was a huge success with over $900 raised to support the Friends of Soibada – an organisation dedicated to assisting a community in East Timor recovering from the War for Independence.

Not only did the crowd enjoy the trivia but there was also a lucky door prize, numerous raffle prizes, a $100 lucky number draw and a Christmas hamper – won by The Luckies as the winning trivia team.

A special video message from Tamara Sloper Harding (OAM) explained the wonderful work being done by the organisation. Proceeds from the event will help to improve education, health and self-sufficiency for the people, some of whom also expressed thanks on the video.

Organiser Eileen Walder said, “Our team of volunteers were fabulous and with so many donations from Eumundi Rotary members, local businesses and people unable to attend, I am sure the Friends of Soibada will find excellent use for the proceeds.”

Thanks also to Leanne and the friendly team at the Cooroy RSL and kitchen for such great service.
