Shoe Box Appeal – in October/November the club members, family and friends filled 144 boxes with children’s toys and other goodies to be enjoyed by families who have so little to be excited about. This was considerably more than I had hoped for and I would like to thank the club for their efforts. The boxes were sent to Eastern European Countries in time for Christmas and distributed by local charities there.
Nepalese Disaster Appeal - In May we have our Coffee morning when the whole club rallies together to raise funds for our international project – this year we were putting our money into a Microfinance Project organised by lendwithcare.org. However due to the Earthquake in Nepal we have decided it is more appropriate to support the people in Nepal. Council will decide after the coffee morning how much money we will send to the Rotary appeal.
