Rotary Helps Rebuilding of Children’s Playground
Posted by Paul Weston
A year after the Kerang (Vic) Floods, the rebuilding of the children’s playground flattened by floodwaters at the Lake Meran Recreational & Community Facility is almost completed.
Our District contributed $30,000 to the Rebuilding Project from contributions by 32 Clubs in the Appeal following the devastating Queensland and Victorian floods early in 2011.
PP Sharon Champion from Kerang Rotary Club said the reconstruction has been a partnership between the Lake Meran Foreshore committee working closely with Rotary and the Shire Council.
“Kerang Rotary undertook some of the restoration work with new equipment installed and ready to use by Christmas.
“The entire recreation area was also refenced to give a new and welcoming image.
“Community involvement in the project has helped rebuild the mental health of everyone involved as it provided a common goal and a sense of purpose working together to rebuild a community resource that will continue to be used and shared by families for years.
“We sincerely thank District 9700 for supporting our community and us."
