The Rotary Club of Mornington remitted $10,000 to Bushfire Relief in East Gippsland, via the District 9820 Disaster Fund and the East Gippsland Clubs Bushfire Relief Account. Additionally the proceeds of the Silent Auction at the Opening Night of the Mornington Art Show, of over $8000 were also committed. In October 2020 the Mornington Club donated some 1,000 Native Eucalyptus Tube Stock to the combined five Rotary Clubs within the region. In March 2021 this funding was also applied to o the training and certification of three people in the use of a Lucas Mill, a machine that enables farmers to machine logs for use as fence posts. This amazing ongoing project headed up by the Lakes Entrance Rotary Club and under the leadership of Peter Sindrey and his team is assisting the rehabilitation of farms and the revegetation of fire ravaged properties within the East Gippsland area.
