Rotary and Ironman join forces

After being severely impacted by Covid restrictions, Noosa Tri worked with local groups to donate their unused items to flood victims in Maryborough.

Noosa Rotary president Gerald Victor contacted Maryborough Rotary and it was agreed the goods would be welcome in Maryborough to aid the community after their town was swamped by flood waters.

Ironman Group regional director Leanna Ali said they were pleased to be able to assist the Rotary Club of Maryborough for the flood relief program and the vitally important mental health programs that they provide in the region.

“We hope that the goods that Ironman provides may be of use and a boost for those who may be struggling during this tough time,“ Ms Ali said.

“Ironman takes its position in the community very seriously and we’re very happy to be able to support the Rotary Club of Maryborough.”

Rent Me Trucks owner Steve Camilleri was quick to offer Noosa Rotary a free truck to transport the four pallets and also gave his time on a Sunday to drive the truck.

Maryborough Rotary president John Bouronis said the donation would go towards a youth mental health awareness event within local schools.

“The rugby league community in the town will benefit from this donation of cooler bags, towels, back packs, Superkidz event singlets, and visors,“ he said.

Noosa Rotarian Tess Alexandroff said, on behalf of the Noosa club members, ”We owe a big thank you to Rent Me Trucks and Noosa Tri for making this all possible“.
