The Rotary Club of Kiama recently presented Kiama Surf Life Saving Club with a new 4m x 4m walled marquee at Surf Beach, Kiama.
A number of the club’s Nippers and family members were in attendance.
Rotary Club of Kiama president David Chambers said it was great to be able to provide the marquee.
“It is community support going to one volunteer organisation from another volunteer organisation,” he said.
“The fact that it is supporting youth is great and Rotary has a strong focus on fostering youth through its many programs.”
Chris Moore, president of the Kiama Surf Life Saving Club said, “the beauty of this is that we will now have a tent for the juniors to go to all carnivals”.
“Whether it is the Sydney Water Carnival or any of the local or country carnivals it will provide weather protection and great branding for Kiama SLSC with thanks to Rotary.
“The fact that this tent has four sides unlike other tents makes it secure so it will allow us to go down to Gerroa for a bonding weekend away providing the children with a great experience and a place to sleep.
“It’s ideal for children to learn and grow.”
“Rotary is looking to forge our community partnerships stronger, and as you can see today, some of the Rotarians have grandchildren in Nippers,” Mr Chambers said.
“What is impressive about the young Nippers is it starts our young at an early age learning about community service and being good corporate citizens, and I think that is a really good thing,”
