Peninsula groups raise money through monster raffle
Three Peninsula community organisations have raised money through participating in a monster raffle run by the Rotary Club of The Entrance.
The Rotary Club of Umina Beach raised $1000.
"It will remain on the Peninsula through our charitable donations," said club publicity officer Mr Pat Lewis.
"Tickets are sold by Not-For-Profits all over the Coast.
"They keep all of the money raised from these sales for their own charitable, sporting, artistic, or community-building purpose.
"This year 32 charitable groups, including seven Rotary clubs, participated raising $32,000."
Peninsula groups included the Ettalong Arts and Crafts Centre and Mary Mac's Place.
"This raffle was begun 39 years ago by the Rotary Club of The Entrance and in that time has raised just on $1 million," said Mr Lewis.
"The raffle was supported by some Peninsula businesses and many tickets were purchased locally."
