EUMUNDI ROTARY CLUB

Clean Up Eumundi

The Rotary Club of Eumundi and community volunteers set off on Sunday 3 March to clean up Eumundi and its five tunnels. Despite Eumundi having the reputation of being a tidy town there was still plenty of rubbish collected. Throughout Australia the event attracted 750,000 participants over 10,000 sites.

Kidney Kar Rally

Kidney disease is not as well-known as breast and prostate cancer but affects two million Australians annually. Local resident Graeme Meade spoke at a Rotary Club of Eumundi meeting recently about the importance of getting checked by your GP for signs of kidney problems. Raising awareness of the disease and the impact on those diagnosed and their families, Graeme is fundraising for not-for-profit Kidney Health Australia (KHA). Along with co-driver Bruce Chamberlain, Graeme will drive his car in the 35th Kidney Kar Rally from Deniliquin via Handorf to Leeton from 3-10 August to help support kids and young people affected by kidney disease.

The rally is a fun and exciting event that raises funds for KHA's KidneyHealth4Youth programs.

It involves multiple teams driving thousands of kilometres across the Australian countryside with one ambition – to change the lives of children and young people affected by kidney disease. It is not a conventional race but a test of skills, fun and adventure with like-minded participants.

Eumundi Voice recently donated $500 towards Graeme’s fundraising goal of $5,000. Support him at: t.ly/1kJFq.
