Wear purple on Friday’s for DFV

Contributed by Steve Newton

GLASSHOUSE Country Rotary Club has commenced their local DVF Campaign. Club members have been meeting with various representatives of the DFV campaign, and last week the club received information brochures and shirt order forms which have already been issued to 12 businesses in Beerwah.

The club is expecting a positive community and business response, with a good uptake in the Friday wearing of the shirts. Our most willing participants are the Beerwah QCWA ladies who will be wearing the shirts and allowing us to have a free stall at their next street fair to sell the shirts to the public. At a recent Rotary BBQ we were approached by the Mens Shed, Lions and others to kick start an umbrella Community Group. 

The objective is to source other community groups to form an association to benefit the Glasshouse Country and promote local strength in numbers. Hopefully we will start seeing purple soon and the message of Respect.
