Somerville Rotary plans Diwali Night

Staff Reporter

The Rotary Club of Somerville based in East Auckland has announced will mark Diwali as a fundraiser early next month.

Club President Farida Master said that the event will be held from 630 pm on Saturday, November 9, 2019 at Our Lady Star of the Sea School located at 14 Oakridge Way, Howick.

“The Programme will be packed with foot tapping entertainment, raffles, prizes won, auction and authentic Indian cuisine. The small but vibrant Rotary Club of Somerville punches well above its weight and is working hard to ensure an evening to remember,” she said.

‘Beyond Water’ Project

Ms Master said that all proceeds of the evening will be donated to local and international projects of Rotary. Among the projects to which the Club is committed is ‘Beyond Water,’ a charitable organisation run by Rotarians passionate about bringing clean water and sanitation solutions to communities in East Africa.

‘Beyond Water’ fights water poverty at a grassroot level involving the community so that they can take the lead in rebuilding lives by deep bore wells, water tanks, latrines, hand washing stations and sanitary products.

“The Rotary Club of Somerville is an energetic Club of professionals working in the community and none of these projects would have been possible without the patronage and support of the community. We are looking for sponsorships for the Diwali Programme,” Ms Master said.

The Club meets on Wednesdays (except on Second Wednesdays) at Howick Club.
