Bartoszyce, Lidzbark- Warminski,

Bartoszyce, Lidzbark- Warminski, is a small town in Poland with surrounding villages, with a population of approximately twenty five thousand (about half the size of Malton and Norton) 

 Paulina, a member of Rotary Club Malton & Norton. and this is an extract from  an email received from her father in Bartoszyce

"In  the district two families with children have been found accommodation by the club. The apartments are not fully furnished and are in need of a fridge and table and chairs. The club has  purchased these necessary items.    (all invoices are of course kept by the Polish Club for accounting purposes and are available to us too if we want to see them). Families are also in need of toiletries and clothing which will also be purchased using the funds. It has been agreed that no pictures of the Ukrainian families will be taken because we don't want to compromise their dignity.

The Rotary Club is also organising a concert together with the local Music/Arts School in Lidzbark-Warminski which will be a fundraising event for the Ukrainian people - I have seen an online article in the local Polish Newspaper that approximately 200 Ukrainian refugees have now arrived in the district. At the beginning of the concert the  Rotary President will make a speech in which he will mention our Club and our support to the Ukrainian people in the region - it will be in English and they will make a video of it so this is certainly something we can put on our social media. My parents have also welcomed 4 children in their school"
