Rotary Ashgrove The Gap is pleased to announce that Santa will once again be visiting The Gap this year during the week, Saturday 29 November to Friday 5 December. Santa’s visit to The Gap has been a Christmas tradition for over 40 years.
The Rotary Ashgrove The Gap’s Santa Sleigh is not only an opportunity to see Santa but also a major fundraising event for the club. Every year the residents of The Gap give generously to our collectors and we hope you are able to do so again this year, by cash or card. All money collected goes towards a variety of Rotary Programs, such as Rotary Health, polio elimination globally, assistance to victims of natural disasters in Australia, and local community organisations such as Meals on Wheels and domestic violence initiatives.
Sadly, Santa is unable to travel up all streets, there are just too many. Increasing numbers of cars parked have made it increasingly dangerous to go down some streets. Your safety and the safety of our volunteers comes first.
Sometimes the weather does not allow Santa and his helpers to go out, or he has to finish his run early. As you will understand we cannot have Santa, his helpers or you taking any risks during heavy rain and lightning. Remember, Santa is travelling around The Gap for 7 nights and you may find a suitable spot on another night to catch up with Santa and his helpers.
Don’t forget to have your photo taken with Santa. Santa’s helpers will help you find a suitable place to stand near the sleigh. Santa will still have wrapped lollies and other goodies for all children.
