Reading is even better

Funds to good use

For some outsiders, the Sergeant's Session at meetings can seem a quaint and old fashioned activity.  In our club it is a fun few minutes that adds interest and value to an already great meeting - certainly all leave each meeting knowing they have spent their time well!

The donations from the coins contributed during the Sergeant's Session go to those smaller funding requests not otherwise covered by the projects of the committees.  The following is a summary of donations made so far this Rotary year.  Any member can make suggestions to the Sergeant.

This year we’ve raised $3,844.98.
Of which funds have been distributed as follows
Citizen’s Advice Bureau     $163.50
Illi (food costs, etc.)      $250.00
GSE Team Fiji transport     $100.00
Polio Plus    $250.00
Mobility Dogs       $200.00
Club Charitable Trust    $1,450.50
Total      $2,518.00

Leaving a balance of $1,326.98

Building futures - literally

A couple of times every year a group of members, and usualy their partners, get together and join in on a Habitat for Humanity build.  These are extremely fun, hands-on projects and therefore very popular with our members as the pictures below show:

Just another example of why Rotary is so great!
