Jenny is a well known artist and is always willing to decorate rooms or tables for events and lends her experience to designing invitations, leaflets, programs etc for Rotary functions. As well as this Jenny has been involved in many community organisations such as Nicholson St. Gallery (now EGAG), Arts Network, F(route) TAFE and more.

06.04.2022 MARKET CANCELLED Sadly with all the rain, the EGSC has directed us to cancel the Howitt Park Market this coming Sunday. There is still a chance that the Mitche...ll will rise before then and the grass and roads are sodden and dangerously slippery for vehicles and people. Members of Rotary Club of Bairnsdale Sunrise are very disappointed of course and look forward to planning our January 2022 market. See more

19.03.2022 The Rotary Club of Bairnsdale Sunrise has Enviro gift packs to sell at Rotary Sunrise Howitt Park Market this Sunday. These gift packs consist of 24 high-quality stainless steel "Pegs for Life", Who Gives a Crap toilet paper and produce bag. The funds raised from these gift bags will help to relandscape and upgrade the Fairy Garden at ‘Annie’s Cottage’. Annie’s Cottage is a place where families who have a child with a life-threatening illness can visit, take some time out, recharge their batteries and rejuvenate before returning to the reality of real life. Help us to help them and reduce waste going to landfill a ‘win win’ for just $20/ pack. Great for all types of gift-giving.
