In autumn each year South of Perth Yacht Club with support of Kiind (a support organization from Perth Children’s Hospital) and other sponsors including Applecross and Melville Rotary has staged “Cruising Butterflies” to take children with life-long health issues onto the Swan River on members boats to enjoy a morning of fun on the water. Working with Kiind, over 150 children along with their parents, siblings and carers are expected to attend this special day in the lives of the children that gives their families a short respite from the 24-hour a day caring duty. After the morning on the water there will be a sausage sizzle lunch, a live ukulele music band, guide dogs, and special guests and events. The day will wind up early in the afternoon.
Applecross Rotary have ben tasked with the BBQ duties, cooking and serving sausages in a bun and assisting in car parking, both inside SoPYC and on the Heathcote Lower Land. We are a few volunteers short so if you can assist contact Gordon Dunbar by text (0409 884 689) or email dunbarz@ozemail.com.au.
