Recently, the Club had the honour of supporting a request from the president of the Mount Kembla Public School P&C to assist with our very special sausage sizzle holders.
As a result we share the following message to share with readers of this column.
School P&C president, Emma Ivic says:
"The students at Mount Kembla Public School are so very grateful for the donation of the two metal stands hand-made by Rotary.
"We are a small school and up on the hill in Mount Kembla, we hold a variety of fund-raisers throughout the year to raise money to put back into the school, which include a number of sausage sizzles.
"We have been on the search for a sausage sandwich holder and were excited to find that the Rotary Club of Wollongong make them so approached them requesting one to purchase.
"We were generously donated two!
"These were made by the oldest and longest serving member of the club.
"We recently had a sausage sizzle at the school as part of our Loose Parts Play launch and we proudly used them when serving the students and families their lunch.
"They will be used for many years to come. Thank you very much."
Storm season
