ENCOUNTER BAY ROTARY HELPS GARDENING PROGRAM
The Rotary Club of Encounter Bay recently donated a lawn mower and a blower-vacuum to Community Living Australia to support their new gardening project in Victor Harbor. Community Living Australia is a local not-for-profit organisation that supports people with a disability to live life to the fullest by encouraging active participation in their communities, supporting them to reach their goals and increasing their independence.
Michelle Nahlous, the Regional Support Officer for the Fleurieu said that the garden project will be used to further develop participants’ life skills and independence in particular regards to gardening and home maintenance.
Daryl Van Rhoda, a manager at the Port Elliot Mitre10 store facilitated the purchase of the equipment which was presented to the group by the Encounter Bay president, Barrey Niven.
‘This is another example of Rotary working with the community to help make a positive difference in people’s lives,’ Barrey said at the presentation.

The three storey boys home is progressing very well and the roof will be
completed in the next week.
The building itself should be completed by August but there are many things
that need to be completed before the building can be occupied.
Fitting out the kitchen is the number one priority but setting up rainwater
tanks and solar hot water will closely follow. |
