Bangawarra Cultural Day – Kiama Pavilion – 29 August 2024

Rotary Kiama contributed to the successful Bangawarra Cultural Day at “The Pavilion”. Rotary volunteers served up sausage sandwiches by the 100s to the participating regional youth who were otherwise busy connecting through culture. Both the youth and Rotary volunteers had a great day!!

Kiama Second Hand Saturday – Kiama Black Beach – 31 August 2024

Rotary Kiama successfully hosted Kiama Council’s “Second Hand Saturday” at Black Beach on the 31st August 2024. Over 70 participants opened their “car boots” to display a wide range of second hand goods for sale. Despite the occasional gust of wind, a large number of eager customers checked out what was on offer, hoping to find a great bargain.

Bargain hunting is hungry work! Rotary Kiama cooked up a storm on the BBQ with many participants and shoppers trying the best egg and bacon rolls and sausage sandwiches on the coast … Yum!

Most participants reported good sales, while happy customers were smiling as they left with “just what they wanted”. More importantly, the event supported Kiama’s circular economy, and reduced unwanted goods unnecessarily going to landfill. Thanks to Kiama Council for continuing with this initiative. All money raised by this event will support a range of Rotary sponsored local and national initiatives.
