Members from Emerald and District Rotary Club surprised the residents at the Lifeview Emerald Glades on Wednesday 27 March by popping in to deliver individual bags of Easter eggs for them.
Community group member Tracey-Le Bannister volunteered to undertake the very taxing job of bagging the eggs – which no doubt needed a bit of testing.
Each year the Rotary Community team ensures the Glades residents receive a present from the Club at Christmas and Easter – it’s to help bring festive spirit and cheer to the elderly members of the Emerald community and let the residents know that they are not forgotten about.
Last Christmas Emerald Rotary assisted St Marks and St Lukes financially to have hams in their hampers for families struggling.
The community group tends to get its name out there for the general public to understand what they do on an ongoing basis.
Emerald Rotary is active when major issues occur endeavouring to support its emergency services.
With the recent storms on 13 February which badly impacted the local area, the community group was able to donate funds to the SES to ensure all volunteers had a supply of food throughout their long shifts.
The excess food from the All-American Car Show held in Gembrook was also delivered directly to the volunteers site following the event.
