This is a night for partners, friends, Rotarians and other interested parties.

A ShelterBox provides emergency shelter and aid to families affected by natural disaster and conflict.
Join us at the Ferragosto Fair on the 20th August from 10am to 5pm in Great North Road to see a display of a Shelterbox - the emergency housing for thousands of disaster victims across the globe including the recent devastating quakes in Turkiye and Syria.
The internationally known relief organisation and one of Rotary’s key partners, originated as a Rotary club project that aimed to help 8-10 families a year. It has since served more than 2 million people worldwide.
We look forward to seeing you at Ferragosto!
Each year individuals across Australia are recognised for their contribution to the nation.
