At the Club’s changeover on Saturday, July 27, we were delighted to disperse funds raised to some of the recipients:

• Young Scouts, training for younger children;
• Musical bursary for a child in need at the Regional Conservatorium of Young;
• IHS Scholarship Award;
• Crisis Centre for crisis accommodation;
• Margaret House, families, females, financially disadvantaged males;
• NSW/ACT Nurses, sponsoring nurses wanting to train;
• Local MND fundraising;
• Young Cadets, assist cadet training;
• Young Guides, assist and nurture younger students;
• Young Riding for Disabled;
• Beyond Blue;
• Young Society of Artists; and
• Childhood Cancer.

Plus donations to foundations which help with research into those debilitating health issues that can concern us all in our very own community.

• Spinal cord, wellbeing, diabetes, rheumatism, arthritis, children’s mobility, prostate, hearing dogs, Lions Eye Health, NSW/ACT Careflight.

We will benefit from the improvements with the treatment gained by research.

The Club thanked the wonderful community of Young for its support of their projects.
