Book Sale 2024
Fundraising Report 2023-2024
Director:
Janelle Craig.
Committee:
Vince Delpopolo, Lucy-Jade Folkard, Max Henderson, Andrew Little, John Tchetchenian, Sandra White. President Neville Hansen attended meetings as ex officio member.
Aim:
To support, encourage and co-ordinate fundraising activities ensuring that the club have enough funds on hand to fulfil our commitments as agreed by the Board.
Outcome:
Major fundraising activities were undertaken during this Rotary Year namely:
We did manage to pick up a fundraising activity from the Bicycle Network that was not in the 2023-24 Fundraising Plan. This took place in the form of the Super Tuesday Bike Count in March 2024, where Club members counted bicycle traffic and flow in 8 locations around Cherrybrook, Castle Hill and Thornleigh. This quick, less physically taxing event yielded the Club another income source and is evidence of the importance of taking opportunities when they arise.
We held four BBQs at Bunnings Castle Hill this year, two of which had a cake stall attached thanks to Patricia Baseley and our amazing team of Club bakers! Bunnings BBQs were co-ordinated by Kerry Mann and continue to provide the Club with a steady income stream. In October 2024, the Club worked their magic with the Democracy Sausage at West Pennant Hills Public School to coincide with the NSW State Election. At this event we utilised the Club’s BBQ trailer, ably coordinated by Tony Coote and his BBQ crew, to run a highly successful BBQ and Cake Stall. The Club BBQ trailer was again used during the year at the Garage Sale and the Christmas Market. Online sales were co-ordinated by Colin and Anne Sharpe, and Rita Tchetchenian and these too helped to generate funds that contributed to our fundraising account.

In Summary:
We achieved our goals for the year via our fundraising activities. We also had the opportunity of showcasing Rotary and the Club to the public and acknowledged our sponsors by displaying their banners during these events. As for the actual revenue, reference should be made to our Treasurer’s Report that provides a comprehensive breakdown.
I wish to thank all Rotarians, partners and friends for their support and encouragement without which we would not have been able to achieve these outcomes. Finally, I also wish the new Board all the best for 2024-25.
