Junior Sports Assistance Fund presiding member Cr Hanna persello said the Rotary Club and sports fund committee had identified worthy recipients from member organisations.

“The fund and its member organisations are very appreciative of the Rotary Club of Mount Gambier Lakes for its sponsorship of this initiative,” she said.

Funding is available for two nominees from the South East Women’s Football Association ($300 each), one nominee from the Limestone Coast Football Association ($300) and 12 nominees will receive a discretionary donation of $120 each.
