Christmas Bags for the Royal District Nursing Service

Project: 
Royal District Nursing Service - Christmas Bags

Christmas 2011 has again seen the Rotary Club of Keilor support the local Royal District Nursing Service (RDNS) in bringing some festive cheer to that service’s most housebound, restricted and isolated clients.

The project involved the provision of 75 Christmas Shopping bags into which we had packed Christmas goodies including Christmas cake, small food items, personal grooming products, stationery and books/magazines.

The appreciation received from this project begins when the bags are delivered to the RDNS and we witness the anticipation with which the Nurses look forward to bringing Christmas joy to their patients through the efforts of our Club.

A small number of bags were also placed directly with needy recipients of whom Club members were aware.

Camp Getaway Mini Golf Course Opened

Camp Getaway Mini Golf Course

Camp Getaway Mini Golf Course – From Vision to Reality

The Rotary Club of Keilor has again added to its long and close relationship with Rotary Camp Getaway at Axedale, near Bendigo.   A few years back a vision emerged from within the Club to provide a stand out recreation facility in the form of a mini golf course at the Camp.

Students from the Keilor Primary School were involved in the design of the 9 holes of the mini golf course, plans were developed, funds raised, materials purchased and commencement of the various construction stages proceeded.

That earlier vision became a reality through the hard work of Rotarians, their families and friends when the mini golf course was opened by the Club’s own Past District Governor, Col Gibbons on Sunday 27 November 2011 and officially handed over to Camp Getaway.

Good Citzens Awards

Keilor Rotary Club recently awarded Good CItzens Awards to Jessica and Julian from St Augustine's Primary School Keilor.

This years recipients were both very worthy winners.  Both students have had leadership positions at St Augustine's in their senior years where they have demonstrated through their actions their committment to helping others.  However many students demonstrate these same attributes.  Both Jessica and Julian have gone beyond what has been expected.

Jessica and Julian show kindness and consideration to others and set a good example to the younger students in the school.  They are respectful of adults and use their initiative when extra help is required.  Both students are well mannered and polite, and are recognised as such by the student body.  Both of them have a quiet inner strength that will stand them in good stead as adults in their chosen secondary schools.

Donations in Kind (DIK) Store West Footscray

The Rotary Club of Keilor is proud to be an active supporter of a highly effective recycling operation managed by Donations in Kind store at West Footscray. For 50 year Rotarians have been involved in hands on projects, working overseas on Rotary Australia World Community Service Projects (RAWCS) for more information www.rawcs.org.au  Our Club has been involved in many projects over the years and we are currently in the planning and fundraising stage for a project in Timor Leste.
Early projects highlighted how useful surplus material in Australia could be and Rotary Clubs now have a multimillion dollar recycling operation in every state run by volunteers. In the past 10 years over 300 containers have been shipped from the West Footscray Store to all corners of the globe containing goods valued at greater than $20 million. The goods are gathered by Rotarians with support from organizations who understand that their donated goods will go to people in genuine need, regardless of country, race, politics or religion. They are also impressed that Rotary covers the cost of the total operation including funding the freight. If you have goods you feel may be suitable please contact us.
The Rotary Club of Keilor helps by providing material and volunteers who sort, pack and ship the goods.    We also support the Store financially contributing to the rent and running costs which exceed $40,000pa.     
Much of the material that we send overseas for our Club Projects is supplied by the Store. Our Community Mobility Aids Project uses store material and is an excellent example of community recycling.

DIK Standard Opening Times are 9.00am -3.00pm Tuesdays and Thursdays, other times by appointment.
