"Sleep in Your Car" -  funds for homeless
 
We made it to $2k. The final amount was $2030!
 
This year 4 hardy Rotary Club members like Pat and Rob raised $2030 for Fusion Mornington Peninsula's Sleep In Your Car fundraiser. A great result. Thank you to all who sponsored our members and thank you to Pat, Rob, Wayne & Gordon for sleeping in your car, tent and shed!

Supporting basic education and literacy
 
“More than 775 million people over the age of 15 are illiterate. That’s 17 percent of the world’s adult population. Our goal is to strengthen the capacity of communities to support basic education and literacy, reduce gender disparity in education, and increase adult literacy. We support education for all children and literacy for children and adults. We take action to empower educators to inspire learning at all ages.” Source: Rotary International. https://www.rotary.org/en/our-causes/supporting-education
Bay Trail Project
 
 
The Rotary Club of Mount Martha has partnered with the seven Rotary Clubs of the Mornington Peninsula and The Mornington Peninsula Shire to develop community infrastructure and amenity along existing paths that form the Bay Trail.
Our club is focused on developing the Harrap Creek Trail from the Briars to Craigie Road. This will mean that when the already funded Mornington to Moorooduc trail is complete, recreational cyclists will be able ride from existing city trails to the mouth of the Balcombe Creek in Mount Martha.
The Harrap Creek Trail is directly connected to the Briars and Balcombe Creek boardwalk which was constructed by the Rotary Club of Mount Martha in the 1990’s and 2000’s.
The existing Harrap Creek trail has no community infrastructure other than some graded gravel paths. The club’s vision is to see vibrant community infrastructure and amenity along the Harrap Creek trail and parkland that engages the community to use and care for the land.

Rotary Recognition to Progress Signs
You only need a glance at the “Wall of Thankyous” in the workshop at Progress Signs to recognise the community organisations they have reached out to and helped. So, it was fitting that we at Rotary Club of Mt Martha recognise their generosity and award the business of Progress Signs a Rotary Foundation Certificate of Appreciation in recognition of the contribution that this business has made to the Mornington & Mount Martha Community over thirty years.
