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.

Read about us here, if you are still interested come along to one of our Monday night meetings to see more.  To arrange this click here and fill in the form so that we can contact you.

Three Mile Camp Burma - built out of Shelterbox Tents

The club has purchased two Shelterboxes and is now involved in the purchase of a third.  The first boxes arrived in Chengdu at the centre of the Chinese Earthquake at the end of May

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.

Another Shelterbox being delivered

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.

 
Terry Servant - New President of Caterham Harestone Rotary Club

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.
