So the exciting news is that we actually started fundraising before we even set up this blog! Shows how eager and proactive we are right?! So I will quickly update you on our activities so far and they have been a lot of fun. Our first wee project was carried out as a fun end of year catch up where we held a Rotaract pot luck dinner. We each made a donation on entry, had a great feast and played coin bowls (where we roll coins at a target (wine of course) and the closest one wins the prize and the rest of the coins are collected as donations). As a goal of Rotaract Dunedin we held a Summer Challenge to keep us active in service to different causes over our university summer break. It's all part of living the lifestyle of Rotary with the volunteering of time, energy or funds as part of our everyday selves, we just can't get enough! The two summer challengers that put their raised money towards Rotaract for Project Starfish were Michael and Georgia. Michael sold some video games from his collection and Georgia held a raffle for Trade Aid and Lush prize packs (thanks to Lush for their sponsorship!). Our next event was a market stall at the University of Otago market day where there was lots of food and live music! All of the clothes, shoes and bags were donated by NRG Dunedin as left overs from their Pop-Up Op Shop event. This was great fun for several new members and a cool way to engage with students and let them know what we are doing. So far it's looking really good and we're just gearing up for the rest of the year. I hope you've enjoyed reading about these activities, we certainly enjoyed doing them, and keep an eye out on our calendar as there are many more to come!
