The Rotary Club of Eumundi is again proud to take the lead on one of the most significant fundraisers for hospices serving the region.
This year’s Eumundi Rotary Long Lunch will be held on Sunday 12 March with funds raised going to support the Katie Rose Cottage, Cittamani Hospice and Hummingbird House.
The lunch will commence at 11.30am under the fig trees and in the recently rainproofed venue at the famous Original Eumundi Markets with doors open at 11am.
With a theme of Carnivale running, the venue will be brightly decorated with food to match.
Prepared by Eumundi international chefs Andy Dundas from The Figtree and Ned Nolan from The Bohemian Bungalow, the meal will be three classy courses of gourmet sharing plates and platters based on local regional products.
BYO soft drinks and alcohol will allow guests their own choices for refreshment.
A bar of wine, beer, soft drinks and waters will also be available. Wine glasses will be present on tables.
Organisers have also announced that celebrity chef and Sunshine Coast boy Matt Golinski will be giving a cooking demonstration – a must see!
Executive chef at Ricky Ricardos, TV shows such as Ready Steady Cook and work with other celebrity chefs in the Plates for Mates initiative are some of Matt’s achievements.
Music will be provided by The Doo Wop Dolls and Associates – based on a unique harmony group whose arrangements of popular songs include their very own take on Carnivale. All Eumundi favourites, an absolute delight.
Door and raffle prizes, auctions and a best Carnivale mask prize will keep everybody hopping and further support this fundraising event.
Tickets are $60 per person of which $30 is tax deductible and will be supported by a tax receipt. The funds raised will help continue the outstanding work of providing nursing care and support to the terminally ill. Tables may be booked for six or more people but singles and couples are very welcome and will be seated with new friends.
President of The Rotary Club of Eumundi Greg Molyneux is so pleased to again be a part of this important community event.
“Previous long lunches have been a great success, raising well over $30,000 to support this valuable work,” he said.
“The event this year promises interest and fun in the wonderful Eumundi Markets venue under the trees.
“It will be great to see everyone, new lunchers and old munchers, to make this year’s event even more successful.
“Based on previous success, supporters should make their bookings quickly as we have to limit numbers to 300.
“Ticket sales are planned to close on Thursday 2 March,” Greg said.
