Narooma Rotarians were delighted to launch their new food van at Sunday’s busy Monthly Rotary Market on NATA Oval.

When launching the van, Narooma Rotary Vice President David McInnes said the purchase of the new van and generator was made possible thanks to a grant from Bendigo Bank’s Community Enterprise Foundation.

“This will enable the Club to better respond to future emergencies or calls to remote areas, as well as to continue to raise funds at the markets for the many community programmes and projects, locally and globally, that the Club supports,” he said.

“It shows Narooma Rotarians are indeed ‘People of Action’.”

Mr McInnes noted that Bendigo has Community Banks in Bega, Pambula and Bombala.

Members enjoyed finally moving into the new modern fit-for-purpose van on Sunday after the anticipation built up over the last 12 months. For those who worked on the van project, it was wonderful to get such a great ‘thumbs up’ from so many people at the markets.

Mr McInnes also acknowledged the continuing support of Easts Holiday Parks and the Narooma Community Men’s Shed with storing and transporting the van. More signage and equipment will be added as funds become available.
