Women & Children First offers specialized support for women and children experiencing domestic and family abuse and homelessness.
|
In support of former Mosman Rotary member Peter Young, who is now on the W&CF Board, our club put one table of twelve together to attend this event on Friday 4 March at Manly Golf Club. The event, timed to coincide with International Women’s Day, was a huge success – totally booked out to MGC capacity, with a Waiting List of some 40 people. So well over 200 people attending which included some very brave men! The special guest MC was Jean Kittson who brought lightness and humor to the event in between the heartfelt stories, facts and figures shared with the audience, outlining the real and increasing need for funds required, to work together with women and children to find solutions to their many complex challenges in dire circumstances.

Eight major Live Auction Items, twenty-seven Silent Auction Items and ten Raffle Prizes culminated in a tremendously satisfying dollar amount in support of Women & Children First.

President Mark speaking on behalf of the Board and all our members, expresses his sincere thanks for the enormous, dedicated effort that Richard Vahtrick has made for around 12 months from late 2020 to late 2021, in writing our weekly OOZOO magazine. The timely issue by Richard every Sunday evening detailing the events, stories and ideas that motivate our members and make the Rotary Club of Mosman such a great success is greatly appreciated by all our members. We all thank Richard for all his long hours in the editing and weekly issue of our OOZOO magazine.

We also thank Derek Andrew who edited OoZoo from July 2017 to Dec 2020.
