Closing TONIGHT: The Rotary Club of Woden Daybreak Mango Fundraiser
Buy a tray of mangoes to support Rotary programs! Each tray costs $25.00 and has approximately 4.5kg of excellent quality mangoes. The number varies according to the size of the mangoes. It all depends on the crop and the weather. There isn’t a choice of mango size.
Woden Daybreak will request a delivery date in early to mid-December, but this can’t be guaranteed. The mango farmer will confirm the delivery date in late November and we will be in touch with purchasers then with the collection details. Please note that mangoes will be delivered to a Rotary Club member’s garage in Holder and are to be collected from there.

Zonta Says No to Violence against Women Peace Bell ringing: 10 December
Each year Zonta International holds a worldwide campaign Zonta Says No to violence against women and children. The 16-day Zonta Say No campaign is linked to the United Nations Goal No 5: Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls. The campaign begins on 25 November (the UN Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women) and culminates on 10 December (the UN International Human Rights Day). During this period, the Zonta Club of Canberra Breakfast (ZCCB) raises awareness across the ACT.
To convey the scale of this problem, the ZCCB will be releasing social media posts highlighting the number of women and children who have died through family and domestic violence this year. ZCCB will display orange lady silhouettes with Say No to Violence in the Civic Library from 25 November to 10 December and provide information about the impact of family and domestic violence on women and girls.
Our final Zonta Says No activity is a joint ZCCB and Rotary Club of Canberra Burley Griffin event: the ringing of the Canberra Rotary Peace Bell on the morning of 10 December 2023. Participants at the event ring the bell and say the first name and age of each woman who has died from family and domestic violence over the last year. We also ring the peace bell once for all the children, once for all Aboriginal women, once for all the men and once for all New Zealanders who have died through family and domestic violence. As of 6 October, 38 women have died as a result of family and domestic violence across Australia and countless others have been affected.
All are invited to attend the Peace Bell ringing to acknowledge those who have died through family and domestic violence in 2023.
