After a long wait, the
planters for Whitchurch village which the club has agreed to look after
were delivered by Cardiff Council. The first job was to put in plenty
of drainage.
The team leader Steve is watering in the plants. Now we wait for them to come into flower.
Wednesday 12 June was Rotary Kids Our Day.
Every
year Rotary clubs across the country arrange a day out for kids in
special needs. This year, as we have done in the past, we helped the RC
of Cardiff Bay by providing goody bags. Cardiff Bay took kids from
Riverbank school to the St Fagan's museum, and we were also able to help
RC of Ebbw Vale. 140 bags were packed in all.
Wednesday 12 June
This
morning we held our Club Assembly to set the club's plans for the new
Rotary year which starts in July. Our Area Governor Brian Pippin
joined us and we took advantage of his visit to hand over the plastic
tops from plastic milk bottles that the club has been collecting, for
delivery to Roydon Bottle Recycling in Blackwood. These bottle tops are
a good source of pure unadulterated plastic. The payment of 15p per
kilo goes to RC Henllys and on to Rotary's "End Polio Now" campaign,
where, due to the generosity of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
who match all our donations 2:1, each kilo becomes worth 45p.
