The rain held off and Port Fairy Rotary's annual Open Gardens day took place on Sunday 30 October with five great gardens on display. The event was a fundraiser for Australians 4 Women's Health, this being President Graeme Cox's major charity for 2022/23. Nearly six thousand dollars was raised for this cause by ticket sales on the day and by the associated raffle. The Club would like to thank the owners who made their gardens available and put in the work to have them in tip-top condition for the day.
Special thanks also go to main organiser Jill Gleeson and her assistants, including the Friends of Rotary. Thanks also to Maureen Beatty and her helpers who organised the morning and afternoon teas and served them on the day.
