The Rotary Club of White River has been running a fundraiser for Polio for many years. Heidi was our 2021-2022 Polio pig. On 20 August she got “slaughtered” by surgeon Past President Hans, who had a small injury. She raised R7606. This money is contributed by members towards the pig as happy rands during our meetings. Our new Polio pig for 2022-2023 is Cleopatra. We are hoping her belly becomes just as full for this year. All money raised is donated to the Rotary Polio fund where Bill Gates matches $2 to every $1 raised.
On 14 August 2022, the Rotary Club of White River hosted a Rotary Lunch help. It was in support of Hospice and Rotary Community Projects. We made R13000 profit. R6500 was paid over to Hospice.
