Rotary Says THANKS - Carols at Horsley Park - 2023

ROTARY CAROLS AT HORSLEY PARK - 2023

Volunteers from the Rotary Club of Wetherill Park, their friends, families and local residents, as well as volunteers from Horsley Park RFS and Eastern Creek RFS, combined with 40 performers who braved the 42-degree heatwave to present the 27th Rotary Carols at Horsley Park on Saturday 9^th December.

We thank our Partner and Major Sponsor Smithfield RSL (via the ClubGrants program).

The always-entertaining FREE event culminated with a dazzling display from Foti Fireworks (sponsored by St Johns Park Bowling Club)and the drawing of the raffle with over $10,000 prize value.

Even though this is a FREE event, the Rotary Club of Wetherill Park managed to raise OVER $22,000 for the beneficiaries below,

from sponsors, the $10,000 raffle, and food sales.
