Our Club has expanded its annual Whale Watching Raffle by making it into a community raffle with the theme ‘Experience Narooma’.
“We’re giving this great community concept a go which promotes visiting Narooma,” said Rotary VP David McInnes. “Thanks to the generosity of local businesses, there’s a substantial first prize valued at over $1,200 – winner takes all. Various organisations around Narooma are selling tickets; they benefit by retaining 80% of proceeds for their groups.”
The balance goes to Narooma Rotary to cover costs and to contribute to the long term community project – Carers’ Accommodation at the new Eurobodalla Regional Hospital (CAERH).
The raffle will be drawn on 7th September in time for the annual whale watching season.
The prize is:
- A whale watching tour for two (Narooma Charters)
- Two nights accommodation waterfront cabin* (Easts Holiday Parks Narooma)
- *Condition: Easts’ prize can only be redeemed outside of school holidays.
- 2 x 4hr E-Bike Hire with Gourmet Picnic (Southbound Escapes)
- 2 x $70 Meal Voucher (Club Narooma/ Club Dalmeny)
- $30 voucher (Montague Coffee, Narooma)
Narooma Chamber of Commerce supports the raffle and has contributed to printing costs.
Tickets are available from WIRES, Southbound Escapes, Tilba Public School P & C, Narooma Lions, Bodalla Soccer, Oz Harvest, Narooma Junior Rugby League Football Club and Montague Art & Craft Society. Tickets will also be on sale at the August Narooma Markets from WIRES’ stand.
David said additional potential benefits include sparing organisations the task of soliciting raffle prizes as well as reducing the number of raffle requests to local businesses.
