HOT CROSS
BUNS!
One
a Penny! Two a Penny! Hot Cross Buns!
With
these fundraising thoughts in mind, in conjunction with Bread Street Bakery, the
Rotary Club of Mont Albert & Surrey Hills initiated a project involving the
sale of Hot Cross Buns for Easter amongst the District 9810 Rotary Clubs.
Initiated
for Easter 2005, the project was an excellent success with the proceeds of the
project being split between the Rotary Club for its service projects and the
Australian Rotary Health Research Fund (ARHRF).
Selling
at $6 for a half dozen in 2005, and then by the dozen in 2006 ($12 per dozen),
for each dozen sold by another club, MASH forwarded on $3 to the ARHRF in the
selling club's name.
In
2005, we sold 3,246 buns and 3,186
buns in 2006 with $811.50 and $805 being remitted to the ARHRF for medical
health research in the two years respectively. What a great outcome – a real Win!
Win!.
A
special thank you goes to the David Winter, owner of Bread Street Bakery and
Rotarian at MASH who so generously assists with this project. This is a wonderful hands on project,
roll up the sleeves, don the aprons and start packing the buns. Then delivering to clubs, checking out
what is happening around and about the District.
The
Rotary Club of Mont Albert & Surrey Hills have been innovative in their
fundraising through food – thank you to
