Changing of the Guard
Nunawading member Brian Dunkley has been Treasurer of the Whitehorse Farmers Market for at least 12 years. January 2020 was officially his last market as treasurer and he has now retired. Thank you Brian for all your work on the committee. It is very much appreciated. We will miss your wit and discussions solving the problems of the world!
Our newest member Jenny Lau, will take on the Treasurer’s role and also be part of the Farmers Market committee – she has an accounting background so will be up and running in no time.
Jenny - thanks for taking on the role. Look out for mischievous members who put weird donations in collection buckets!!

The City of Whitehorse agreed that all monies collected from Januarys market could be donated to Bushfire relief. They also very kindly waived the monthly rent fee. Subject to approval by all clubs, the amount of $6,359.55 will be donated to a Bushfire fund. Our board approved the donation on Wednesday 15 January and recommended donating funds to the East Gippsland Bushfire Relief Fund which is being run by the Rotary Club of Bairnsdale and cluster clubs.
