Rotary Geelong West is pleased to confirm that our next Book Fair will be held over the weekend of 17-19 February, 2023. The doors will open at 9.00am each day running through to 6.00pm on Friday, 5.00pm on Saturday and 2.00pm on Sunday, at GEELONG WEST TOWN HALL (Pakington Street). NB. We have now closed accepting books for our February Book Fair - we will resume our collection in March 2023.
Over the last four months, the Rotary Geelong West Team has been sorting through books from all genres, which will be available at incredible prices. In August 2022, we received over 2,500 guests to the event and raised close to $30,000 for various charities - this is one of the best results recorded! Each of our Book Fair contributions make up the major fundraising event for the Rotary Club of Geelong West, which so far has raised over $150,000 that has been channelled back through our Rotary Club’s supported projects such as Barwon Health Patient Transport, Samaritan House, Operation Newstart, Christ Church Meals Program, Barwon Valley School and Geelong Youth Engagement, not to mention all of the many smaller charitable programs that have been assisted by Rotary Club Grants each year.
