We are absolutely thrilled to have been provided the opportunity to appear in the Winter Edition of Peninsula Wide - to promote our Containers 4 Community project.

Not only did our story appear on page 3, but a video has been produced by the Mornington Peninsula Shire. Our thanks to the MPS and Chris Tatman.

Briars Tree Planting 26.7.26

 

Kevin Gibson helped lead our team together with over 100 volunteers at The Briars “Sanctuary expansion”, with the planting of over 2,200 indigenous plants.

We had a tremendous team turned out from Rotary Mount Martha on Sunday at The Briars…

… led by the indefatigable Kevin Gibson.

It was also a special day for Su Ai, Wanjia and Lynn …

Rotary Mount Martha donations

 

This week we received the Community Bank Mount Martha sponsorship of $2,500 to cover the outgoings on our Village BBQ's. This arrangement allows us to receive donations from our sausage sizzle sales with costs covered by this sponsorship. We thank the Community Bank Mount Martha for their generous and ongoing support.

 

We were also delighted to learn that we were successful in obtaining a $5,000 Mornington Peninsula Shire Community Support Grant for our Mount Martha Village Christmas and Easter Community Gatherings. We thank the Mornington Peninsula Shire for the generous support again this year.

What's coming up….

 

This Monday 27 July will be getting an update from our club chairs on the many projects underway and planned for the year.

 

Next week 3 August will be our Committee week.
