PDG Uttam Ganguli Gets Amongst The Sausages
Report by Frank O’Brien
In terms of our Rotary Club, Sunday 15 March 2020 at our Bunnings Collingwood Sausage Sizzle was memorable for a number of varied reasons :
- We raised over $800 to bring the total raised from Bunnings Sausage Sizzles for the year to date to in excess of $18,000.
- We had first time volunteers Elias Lebbos PEN, Cecily Neil and Sally Jones as well as regulars Rohan Williams, Yanpu, Pauline and Frank O’Brien and Peter Duras who swung by in the afternoon. We also had Suvam Ganguli who brought along his father PDG Uttam (who spoke a couple of weeks ago at our Club re the finalisation of a Youth Education project in Kolkatta which our Club had supported and visited January 2019 and which had now been successfully completed) and Suvam’s friend, Ruth. Thankyou everyone.
- PDG Uttam presented our Club at the Sausage Sizzle with 2 banners(refer photo), one from our Sister Club, Rabindra Sarobar(PDG Uttam’s Club) and one from Calcutta Victoria (the Club we financially supported last year. Uttam was so impressed with this Sausage Sizzle fundraising activity he is taking the idea back to Kolkatta...minus Sausages!!
- This Bunnings Sausage Sizzle was probably our last for the year, despite at least another 5 scheduled, due to Bunnings “closing down” Sausage Sizzles for at least the next 2 months for obvious reasons.
