Boost for The Glen for Women from Rotary

Rebecca Shoobridge and Sarah Sammons accept the cheque from David Boardman

The Glen for Women has received almost $25,000 from the Rotary Club of Gosford.

A cheque for $24,990 was presented to Operations Manager Rebecca Shoobridge and Compliance Manger Sarah Sammons at the club’s Annual Changeover function on June 26.

The money will be used to buy a small vehicle for the use in the rehabilitation activities of the women at the centre.

It was raised through the generous support of local business through Gosford Rotary’s annual Razzamatazz children’s variety show, where more than 1,500 children were treated to an hour of fun at Niagara Park Stadium in April.

Children and their families attended at no cost.

They included many disabled children and those with special needs, and families who simply could not pay for the whole family to enjoy such a fabulous show during the school holidays.

Rotary President David Boardman thanked local businesses for their support, which not only saw 1,500 children thoroughly entertained for free, but also resulted in valued financial support to a local group which plays a vital role in the community.
