Editor’s Note: I have copied this from Rotary Club of Kent Town Newsletter, there will
be further discussion at our own club.
What is being planning:
- A District Event to celebrate Rotary's 110th Birthday, to be held on Sunday, February 22nd
2015
- The proposed venue is Elder Park and the new Torrens footbridge - this has been booked
- Time of the Event - early evening to dusk - 6:00pm to 8:30pm
Suggested program:
- Entertainment - music provided in the Elder Park Rotunda e.g. Army, Police or Council
Bands
- Rotary picnic event
- Rotary catering at a reasonable cost e.g. BBQ's, doughnuts
- Some form of activity to promote the "End Polio Now" campaign e.g. sale of balloons, pins,
T-shirts
- At twilight, Rotarians walk onto the Torrens footbridge carrying electric candles and flags,
forming a display to "Light Up Rotary” in the early darkness
- Rotary information to educate non-Rotarians about who we are and what we do e.g.
pamphlets and displays
- Media coverage to make the event memorable and well attended
We need your help:
By attending a family picnic event in Rotary attire, listening to the Bands
Inviting your non-Rotarian friends to join you in a beautiful park
Take part in a twilight "Light Up Rotary" walk on the footbridge
Distribute Rotary information to the general public
Consider how your Club could advertise this event in your local community and encourage
people to attend
Let us know if you have media contacts that we could use.
This will be a great opportunity to promote Rotary and our Clubs
Who to contact:
Indications of your attendance should be sent by February 7th to AG Bob Cooper or
President Brian Huffen
