The Rotary Club of Gerringong's Rock n Roll dance and fundraiser was a celebration of 20 years since the club began, originally with only 16 men and 8 women.

7 of the charter group are still active members of the club: Sandra McCarthy, Heather Williams, Vonne Mathie, Pam Daniel, Bob Waite, Neil Miller and Jeff Quine.

Over those 20 years the club has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars and given it all away to worthy local, national and international causes.

The project to rid the world of polio and youth is a major focus for the club eg Rotary Youth Exchange.

Their major fundraiser is the monthly markets which have been going for 16 years.

80 rockers (many in their 70s) danced the night away to the magnificent local band Werri Music Collective.

Chris Cutting lead the band along with Paul Berry, Glen Isemonger, and Merryn Perez.

There were raffles, lucky door prizes, supper and a full dance floor.

A highlight of the night was Chris impersonating the late, great Elvis with the jump suit, black wig and sunglasses.

Rock n Roll is making a comeback in Gerringong as the Rotary Club is running two hours of tuition in the Town Hall on the second and fourth Sundays of each month from 2 to 4 pm.

Professional dance teacher, Karen Ambrose is great to learn from and she has attracted more than 20 dancers of all ages each session.

The next one is 11 June. Cost is $10 and afternoon tea is included. Just turn up with your dancing shoes!
