With Top Class Entertainment, raffles, Wine Draw, Silent Auction and Live Auction, The Rotary Clubs of Liverpool, Liverpool Greenway, Liverpool West and Cabramatta will host a Seafood Dinner at Comfort Inn Hunts Liverpool on Saturday 26 February. OAM Harry Hunt will be the Major Sponsor donating provisions of food and beverages including beer, wine and soft drinks. We will request up to 10 other sponsors at $1,000.00 each, receiving inclusions in advertisement, recognition on the night and a plaque of appreciation.
2011 OAM June Young is a co-initiator of this event and is following up Top class entertainment to ensure a memorable and enjoyable evening for all. Entertainment now includes internationally acclaimed male vocalist Drew Ashley, dubbed ‘The Voice’ and Glenda Yee Dancers. A further headline act has been approached. The event is a ticketed event with seating limited to 350 persons and tables of 10 will be allocated on a first come first served basis. Dress is: ‘After Five’ (non formal)
Mayor Wendy Waller will officially open the night and District 9690 Governor Marilyn Mercer will also make an address.

This recovery phase is seen as an ongoing operation for many months.
Rotary has 3 Districts badly affected by the Queensland Flood: Districts 9570 taking in Central Queensland, 9600 taking in South East Queensland, Papua New Guinea & Nauru while district 9630 taking in Brisbane and the Outback.
As of 30 June 2010, District 9570 had 1174 members and district 9630 had 1271 members. District 9600 has more than 1700 members. We therefore have many members already on the ground providing our network to ensure that 100% of funds get to where they are needed. The boards of the clubs will authorise where funds are distributed and club financials are audited.
The following notice has also been received from each of these districts;
“We have already plenty of clothing, bed linen, white goods etc. – we do not require anymore”
You may also register your interest for tickets, sponsorship or to donate goods for raffles or auction by emailing us at:
or call one of the phone numbers offered on the Flood appeal Dinner Flyer.
The Rotary club of Liverpool West has specifically been assigned the task of collecting 3 to 5 quality items for a Live Auction to be held on this night and would appreciate any assistance our readers may be able to offer in relation to any donation of cash or prize and/or we would love to have you join us on the night.
Sponsorships are tax deductible and we have applied for a tax concession status to make donations on the night tax deductible with confirmation being sort from the ATO. If this occurs, 30% of the cost of Dinner Tickets will also be tax deductible and we will need record address details for receipts.
