Thanks to Peter McEwen, Hamish Turner, Ray & Val Philp, Aaron Hoffman and Jamie Kelly who made up the Applecross Rotary volunteers for the Sunday morning session of Bricktober. The following email of appreciation was received from Ann Berman who is the Volunteer Coordinator for Ascot Rotary Club - Bricktober.
 
 
Wow – what a weekend!
 
What can we say but a massive THANK YOU for the incredible role you played in making Bricktober such a huge success. Your energy, enthusiasm, and flexibility (especially when we shuffled you between areas!) helped everything run like clockwork. Without your support, we simply could not have pulled it off as smoothly as we did!
 
This year marked 12 years of the Ascot Rotary Club hosting Bricktober, and thanks to amazing volunteers like you, it just keeps getting better. You gave your time, your smiles, and your passion—and we noticed every bit of it.
 
Because of your contribution, we’re able to continue doing some truly meaningful work, including:
🧱 Donating LEGO® Play Tubs to schools and community groups so they can build thriving LEGO® clubs.
🌟 Supporting a wide range of local projects that make a real difference in people’s lives.
💧 Helping provide clean water and sanitation to communities in Timor Leste through our international efforts.
 
But beyond all that… we really hope you had FUN. That is what Bricktober is all about - community, creativity, connection, and of course… bricks!
 
From the Ascot Rotary Club Bricktober Committee, thank you again for being such a vital part of the Bricktober. We truly could not have done it without you, and we hope to see you back next year for more fun, more bricks, and more memories!
 
Regards
Ann
