Boots on for good cause

The Rotary Club of Sunbury is getting ready to boot scoot into the Memorial Hall for its annual Country and Western Night fundraiser this month.

The event will raise funds for those in need in Sunbury and support young people in Cambodia to access education through an initiative called Kits of Hope.

Sunbury Rotary Club international director Janine Reinking said that the night will involve raffles, auctions, and live entertainment, promising fun for the whole family – and for a good cause.

“It’s always been a really fun family night with people bringing their kids along, because everyone loves to boot scoot, they love to dance – and you just copy the line dancers. It’s really fun,” Ms Reinking said.

“We’ve got live auctions, silent auctions, a raffle, best-dressed couple, best-dressed child … we’re getting some really good donations in at the moment.”

The Danny Stain Band will provide live country music entertainment on the night.

Prizes offered through the auctions include two passes for seven nights’ accommodation at Q1 in Surfers Paradise, an electric spit roast machine donated by Bunnings, and a weekend hire of a Ford Mustang from Sunbury Ford.

Ms Reinking said the club’s Country and Western Night has been a great success in previous years, raising funds for organisations including the Royal Children’s Hospital.

Tickets are $30 and the event will start at 6.30pm on Saturday, November 16 at the Sunbury Memorial Hall.
