Last night, over 60 Rotarians, guests, families and friends gathered at Cafe Arco in Heatherton for the annual Give a Kid a Hand Charity Auction.
The Charity Auction has been running for twelve years thanks to organiser Laurie Cincotta.
It's a great night where our Club Members get together with members of Bayside Inner Wheel, other local Rotary Clubs, friends and family to raise money for the Myoelectric Limb Bank of the Royal Childrens Hospital.
The myoelectric limbs which look and feel lifelike operate by having the child place the prosthesis like a glove the stump and manipulate it with electrical impulses triggered by muscle contractions.
A small electrical field is generated by the child's arm muscle, which triggers a signal and turns on a motor in the prosthetic hand, which causes it to open or close.
Thanks to the people who bought items and supported this worthy cause!
