A COMMONWEALTH Bank of Australia (CBA) community grant received by Beechworth Rotary Club last week has boosted funds to help the club improve its clubhouse facilities.

Customer service representative Robyn Meade presented a certificate for the $500 cheque to club president John Strang at the bank last Thursday.

With volunteers and community organisations recognised by the CBA every year, Ms Meade said local CBA staff had been on the lookout for a community group where funds could be donated.

"Rotary is a worthy cause and they've done a wonderful job with projects for the community," she said.

Mr Strang said funds will assist in improving catering facilities in the club's hall located in Queen Victoria Park.

"More community groups are using the venue, for example the Beechworth CWA is going to meet there for the next year as well," he said.

"Improved facilities help us rent the hall out which helps us raise funds that are reinvested back into the community."

"We appreciate Rotary being selected from a number of deserving community groups around town where CBA has recognised what we do in the community."

Rotary club member Jim Ford said the club planned to undertake a survey around town in mid–January to find out what projects the community would like to see in Beechworth where they could participate too.

The annual donations allow the bank to give back to local communities in which they operate.
