| Perth Silent Auction - 5th December 2009 - The format will be much the same as past years, with this years proceeds going to the newly opened, Cornhill MacMillan Palliative Care Unit at PRI, The Black Watch Heritage Appeal for Balhousie Castle and a mix of our Club's worthwhile causes. Start booking LOTS now for this year Perth Silent Auction, if you know of any company or person, who may have a LOT that they might kindly donate, now is the time to get on their case. What really makes the Auction such a success is the quality and variety of the LOTS, we would ask all members to approach their friends and business associates and acquaintances to donate a LOT for the auction, this is a most beneficial community project, now with a proven track record, so this should make it slightly easier than in past years, without LOTS it just cannot work. There are a few benefits for those who participate, all the Silent Auction items will be display listed on our Website, with Company Logo or a Picture, plus a direct link to the LOT donors' own businesses websites if they have one? Regular media coverage with published listings in the Perthshire Advertiser, up-to, during and after the Auction, great free publicity. The sooner the LOT is donated, the longer the exposure, so get on with the leg work, now and book these LOTS! It won't be long in coming round now that the Rotary Fayre out of the way!

The Rotary Club of Perth: Rotary Fayre - Saturday 29th August 2009 'UPDATE' Rotary Fayre: Saturday 29th August 2009 - The Perth Rotary Club’s Charity Fayre in the city centre, has had to be brought forward this year by about 2 weeks, due to the extensive Council upgrade work on the Perth High Street, which will take place during September. In 2008 we raised £3,300 for charity, this did not include the sum's raised by the other charity stands on that day!
Local charities are again going to be offered stands to run for the benefit of their own charities, nearly 20 local organisations took up this option in 2008 and benefited by being part of a much bigger charity event than they could hold on there own. Club secretaries get your applications in now, we have only 26 stands that we can offer on a first come first served basis. Bill Duncan - Vice President, Spoke with most of the Charities and they thought it had been a good day. As an example, Crossroads Care Perth raised around £100 for their funds, this will allow them to take ten of their disabled clients on an afternoon outing, but more importantly, it raised awareness of what they are doing locally!
The Win-a-Car stall will again be ensconced on Perth High Street, outside the now vacant Woolworth Store. Pictured, Hamish Milne & Jimmy Robertson with 2007 Car Sponsor, Alan Storrar.
