Community Project - erection of Park shelter sheds
In partnership with the Brisbane City Council, the Club was able to construct some much needed park shelters in a local park to be opened shortly. The project was a Rotary Centennial Project to recognize the birthday of Rotary, some 100 years ago in February 1905. This initially involved members in the process of fund raising through functions and sponsor donations. Construction and erection of the shed was accomplished with several member's working bees. Our members gained great satisfaction with the hands on involvement in a community project and the fellowship that followed. We are continuing with activities in this park. Arrangements are currently underway to be involved with the planting of trees in the park to assist with the reforestation of the park. Again, this is part of our contribution to Rotary's Centenary celebrations.
This project has extended over many years with some 3 shelter sheds being erected. In addition members have erected a number of seats in the park and on the Mount Ommaney river walk way. Examples of project activity includes
