What have we been doing?

An update at end of March 2011 from DG Margaret:

Members of the Rotary Club of Westport have opened their homes to families and friends for that well appreciated quake break, have donated money to the many collection points around Westport and continue to donate cooking, household goods, none perishable food items and packed meats to the Salvation Army.

All members of the Rotary Club of Avonhead have very clean fingernails as they have been doing the laundry for the families in the community of St James School in Aranui where water is still not connected.

The rowing machines in Picton have been working overtime as members of the Rotary Club of Picton row to raise funds for Christchurch.

The Aranui Shelter cnr of Pages and Breezes Road is being supported by the Rotary Club of Lincoln.

Rhod Hutton from The Rotary Club of Lincoln has donated his truck (with Rotary decals attached) to the continuing task of carrying drinkable water into Aranui.

The Rotary Club of Ferrymead has organized and manned the Redcliffs Information Caravan with phones, computers, pie warmer and water to name a few. Great links for a community at a vital time.

Hokitika ran a very successful Children’s Day.
