REPORTS RECEIVED Wednesday 5January 2005
The
Rotary Club of Skipton Craven pledged £2500 to District
1040 for five Shelterboxes ahead of any collections. With the
total co-operation from Tesco in Skipton and
donations the club was able to collect £7,600. The response
from the community of Skipton has been overwhelming.

Rotary Club of West Bromwich held a bucket collection at West
Bromwich Football Stadium and raised £10,384. The
generosity of the fans was overwhelming. West Bromwich Albion
has agreed to match this making the amount collected over £20,000.
The collection will continue until the next home match on 22nd
January when the final amount will be known.
The
three day collection by a number of clubs in District 1230 now
stands at £25,000. DGE Jim Copeland coordinated East
Kilbride, Kittoch, Strathven,
Rutherglen and other clubs who assisted.
