Planning for the club’s next entry to the 2050 time capsule will also continue.
The yet-to-be-opened envelope was retrieved from the time capsule buried in 2000 and opened on Australia Day this year.
The club agreed to delay exploring its contents until Rotarians of the day could be invited back to share in the excitement.
This will take place Monday night at the Coach House Hotel from 6pm.
“We’ve also invited Rotary clubs from around the district to be involved,” Deniliquin Rotary president Iain Goodway said.
Also anxiously waiting to explore a 2025 time capsule entry is Deniliquin Community Group member and Bendigo Bank employee Lisa Muirhead.
She said the excitement around the discoveries they may find is the precise reason DCG is supporting the 2050 time capsule project, and encouraging people to get involved.
“There was a Muirhead family envelope in the 2025 capsule, but we’re waiting until members of the family can be together to open it.
“Time capsules are such wonderful projects, and the Deniliquin Community Group is only too happy to support the next one.”
Funding provided by DCG has assisted in the printing of time capsule envelopes, and promotion of the project.
“Using the grant on promotion means more money raised from the sale of envelopes can be donated toward Rotary projects,’ Mr Goodway said.
“That’s more money going back into the community.”
Envelopes cost from $10 to $100, depending on size.
They can be purchased from My Shop in Napier St, 1521/2QN or the Pastoral Times office.
Once you have filled your envelope, they can be returned to My Shop by May 30.
The new time capsule is scheduled to be buried on June 14.
