Rotary Geelong West Book Fair - A GREAT SUCCESS!

Posted on Feb 21, 2022
 
 
Rotary Geelong West is pleased to announce that our Book Fair held over the weekend of 18-20 February, 2022 was a HUGE success. Of course, we cannot rest there.....we are now planning for our next Book Fair which will be the weekend of 5-7 August 2022 and will commence 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.
 
The Rotary Geelong West Team will be sorting through books from all genres, which will be available at incredible prices - $1 for paperbacks and children's books; $2 for hardcovers. Each Book Fair contributes to the major fundraising for the Rotary Club of Geelong West, and so far has raised over $120,000 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, Geelong Mums, Geelong Kokoda Youth Program and Interplast, not to mention all of the many smaller charitable programs that have been assisted by Rotary Club grants each year.

Self Care Sunday Geelong Stair Race Report

Posted on Oct 31, 2018
 
In inaugural Self Care Sunday Stair Climb took place on 28 October 2018 in Geelong. SCA’s Jason Williams car pooled with Maria Pia Piemontese to travel over from Melbourne to take part.

We were so excited to find out only a few weeks ago that there was a stair race happening in Geelong. The local Rotary Club saw the new WorkSafe building being constructed and thought it would be a great idea to have a race up it as a fundraiser.  Jump ahead a few months and the event had grown into Self Care Sunday with the stair race one part of a larger event.
