Kerang Rotary Club Inc Art Show 2020
From Jenny Kelly, Art Show Coordinator 2020 Rotary Club of Kerang Inc.
Following continued success of the Art Show event over the past seventeen years with strong entries and attendances, our Club is once again organising this event which will run on Good Friday 10th April to Easter Sunday 12th April 2020.
Entries of an extremely high standard are received from all parts of Victoria as well as interstate representation. We are again hopeful of similar participation ensuring that this event continues to grow in reputation. It is well worth a visit to Kerang to witness our wonderful display and we would love to see you and make you feel welcome with traditional Rotary hospitality.
I am writing to you to ask your support for our Rotary Club in this endeavour. I hope you can find time and space within your organization to promote our Art Show to your members & artists. In order to help you do this we have attached an entry form. Simply print and submit by post or email. Payment can be made by posting a cheque or online. Please feel free to photocopy or email the entry form and identification tags as required. I have included a promotional flyer for our event, which I hope you may be able to suitably display.
To facilitate your members and artists participation in the Art Show there are a number of delivery &
collection depots around the state that they may find useful.
With total prizes available of $5,800.00 our Rotary Club believes that many of your members & artists may well be interested and take the opportunity to participate by showcasing their art work and hopefully achieving recognition and sales.
Easter in Kerang and in Gannawarra Shire offers many events and activities including Quilt Show, Kerang Regional parkrun, Horse Races, Markets, Tractor Pull, Tennis, Bowls, Skate Parks, Pools, Forests, Lakes & Waterways & much more.
Entries close on Friday 27th March 2020.
Our Club Secretary Jenny Acopian has further information and entry forms.

Ignore the Bulletin
Don’t believe what you read in the Bulletin…at last some bits…such as last week when it said there won’t be a meeting on 4 February.
There will be a Club meeting on Tuesday 4 February with on-site Committee meetings at St. Albans.
