Lakes Rotary Club volunteers are now at the sharp end of planning for this year’s OneFortyOne Blue Lake Fun Run.

Registrations are now open for the November 27 event.

Lakes Rotary spokesperson Darren Archibald said significant effort went into the planning the event.

“But it does not stop the club from being active in other areas including recycling programs and Library Market planning,” he said.

“The popular Library Market returns on November 13 and already over 50 stallholders have registered with the market coordinator.”

“If you are interested in having a stall for the December market and are yet to register you better get in quick as the club has had to put a cap of 80 stalls for the event and spots are filling fast.”

Mr Archibald said community support of events like the Fun Run and Library Market provided Lakes Rotary with the opportunity to give back to community.

“Recently the club was privileged to assist UnitingCare Mount Gambier with a donation of $5000 towards their Emergency Food Relief program,” he said.

“UnitingCare has seen a significant increase in requests for support over recent months.

“These events, along with other fundraising activities, are not possible without volunteers and the club has also recently inducted two new members who want to make a difference and have a strong community spirit.

“New members are always welcome.”
