| What has Rotary got for me?
A club that
cares about the community at home and overseas.
A club where service can be fun
A club where the fellowship of the members builds an effective team
that can provide much more than the sum of its parts to the community.
A club with a truly global reach that is represented in virtually
every country in the world with over a million members.
A club that is free of gender, religious, ethnic and political
divides.

our Monday night meetings to see more.

THANK YOU CATERHAM
You gave
over £400 in our recent street collection which took place in Caterham
Valley. We added more money and this enabled us to buy a
Shelterbox. The second Shelterbox was financed by an on-line
collection. Its still not too late to give - see the Shelterbox
Appeal tab.
Rotary Charity ShelterBox were the first aid agency to get people and aid into Burma, they have also been in the forefront in getting aid into China. Each ShelterBox provides a shelter for 10 people and sleeping bags, cooking equipment, stove, mosquito nets and water purification equipment, some boxes are now being shipped with two tents. So far 1800 boxes have gone to Burma and
4000 to China, Help us help them. Give now, give here to
Shelterbox

July is the first month of a new Rotary year. This is where the
plans of the incoming President and his council start to be put into
action. The new President of Caterham Harestone is Terry Servant.
Terry is no stranger to the people of Caterham having previously been
Chairman of Tandridge District Council as well as having held office as
Club President once before.
One of Terry's main aims this year is to get alot more people to join
Caterham Harestone Rotary Club. He has setup a special Membership
Development Committee lead by Vice President Ian Harris.
As Terry says Rotary is supposed to be fun but there are times when
you're standing in the cold shaking a can and nobody is giving anything
when you aren't having fun but are feeling a certain sense of
satisfaction. Fortunately this occasions like this are few
and far between.
Rotary's Theme this year is Make Dreams Real - you could help us to
make Terry's dream real by joining this club. Doing that will help
us to make more people's dreams Real both at home and overseas.
END OF YEAR FETES
The June round of three weekends of fetes
has finally finished. The club attended the Caterham Carnival,
Warlingham Fair and the Dene Hospital Fete. This round of
events marks the end of this Rotary Club's year. At all these we ran
our ever popular fruit tombola. At the Dene we also ran a coconut
shy. Around £1000 was raised for local charities was raised from
these events. At the Carnival our President at the time Nick Drake
also judged the Carnival Procession entries. |
