ALTHOUGH the annual ‘Carols by Candlelight’ event wascancelled, Mareeba Rotary is still encouraging locals toget into the Christmas spirit and get involved in their newChristmas community event.
After the cancellation of the Carols, Mareeba Rotary had to find a way to keep that Christmas cheer and spirit alive in Mareeba.
They chose to launch anew concept, the #averyMareebaRotaryChristmas whichinvites locals to send in photos or videos of them gettingdressed in their Christmas jumpers or dressing their Christmas tree, if it’s festive they want to see it.
Past Mareeba Rotary president Lenore Wyatt is encouraging people to get into thefestive spirit and send in their Christmas photos and videos.
“If you have an photos or video footage getting ready for Christmas send it in, whether it be dressing the treeor wearing matching jumpers,” she said.
“We are just trying to get some community support and Christmas spirit.
“We’re spreading the Christmas cheer the best way we know how with the current circumstances.”
To take part in the newevent, use the hashtag #averyMareebRotaryChristmaswhen posting on Facebook and you will go in the draw to win 250, 150 or 50 dollars cash for the first, second andthird place prizes and will feature in a special Rotary Christmas video.
Submissions close on Monday, December 7
