MOUNT MORGAN CITIZEN’S CLUB

Memberships

With the financial year ending, it is that time again when Mount Morgan Citizens Club Inc calls for renewal of our Membership. Email mountmorgansolidersrooms@ gmail for a form, or please attend our next General Meeting, 10:30am, Sunday, 30 July. The last 12 months has been a whirlwind of activity, and the Club has put in much groundwork to see multiple improvement projects funded, and due to be completed in coming months. Along with grants and improvements, we have also supported numerous groups through use of the facilities and have fundraised whilst providing community events to facilitate fitness and social/emotional connection for locals, the elderly, youth and marginalised. The end goal is a fully renovated Soldiers Rooms Hall to cater for our community needs long into the future. With the acquisition of the Manse, St Enoch’s Church and Upper Dee Hall at 78 East Street for the proposed Arts Precinct going through just last December, the next chapter for our club will be a busy, but exciting one! We invite yourself and anyone you may know who is interested in joining, to come along on this journey with us. Tenants have taken up residence at the Manse now the interior has been revamped, and this secures an income to progress forward, and grants can be pursued now the Soldiers Rooms works have been funded. Below is a list of some of the things achieved throughout this period, but to keep up this momentum, more Members are needed.

We would like to extend our gratitude to the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal, NAB, the Department of Environment and Science and Here for Hearts for their generosity in supporting our endeavours.

Dances

Our next Dance will commence after the Winter period, on Saturday, 23 September. It will be Medieval themed, with prizes for best costume, lucky door and raffles. Many thanks to Pirruwani Art for the donation of a fantastic artwork, and Alli’s Massage for a luxurious hot stone massage voucher. Our dances are open to all ages and abilities and are always heaps of fun! Unfortunately, we have had to cancel the photography event and New Years Gala Ball as previously advertised, due to overstretched volunteers with our current workload, but hopefully something we can pick up a year or so down the track, especially once the Arts Precinct is up and running.

The Rotary Club of Mount Morgan enjoyed another successful day at the last Baree Market held recently.

Club members provide a variety of cakes, caramel tarts, sweets, jams and spreads, and chili sauce etc., for sale at the regular Baree Market.

Some nice pot plants were also a feature of the Rotary Stall, which has a few regular customers. Rotarians who serve on the stall enjoy the day out and get to meet many new friends and visitors to the market.

Attending the Baree markets generates regular income for the club which then goes towards community support projects.

One project the club supports is the Mount Morgan High School student camp on North Keppel Island. This annual event provides a great opportunity for students to learn about the environment, teamwork, tolerance, and personal development.

It is wonderful to hear from the students about how they have benefitted from the camp.

The Baree Market is a great opportunity for Rotary to get out in the community and earn some income.

+The Rotary Club appreciates the work of the local committee which runs the market in order to keep the Baree Hall, a valuable community asset, in operation.
