Rotary Antiques & Collectables Auction 31st July 2010
Rotary Gozo held a one-day auction of Antiques and Collectibles raising funds for the Friends of the Sick and the Elderly (FESG) Project in Gozo to acquire a Storage and Distribution Centre in Gozo. This will be used to increase and provide equipment to those in need in the Community.
We would like to acknowledge the FSEG for helping organise the event, Jan Wilson for making the initial suggestion, and specifically would like to thank Auctioneer Patrick "Paddy" Winston for running the Auction event on the day with such professionalism. Also thanks go to fellow NGO's the GOZO SPCA and Circolo Gozitano for supporting the event. Also to Gozo Express for sponsorship. We are pleased to announce that profits of €4,825 were raised for the FSEG project.
The main functions of the society are to assist the sick and the elderly in every way and to help improve and increase home facilities available for the safety, 
welfare, comfort and convenience of the sick and the elderly in Gozo. This includes the delivery of Meals-on-wheels and the provision of equipment including hoists, specialised beds, ripple-mattresses, and other equipment.
