BISHOP'S Waltham Rotary Club recently raised funds for the Turkey and Syria earthquake appeal.
A spokesman said: “We held the collection at Sainsbury’s in Bishop’s Waltham on February 11 and had a tremendous response from everyone resulting in the collection, plus several other donations after the date, raising £1,545, which has been sent to aid the immediate response to the humanitarian disaster. As a club we have also allocated a further £1,000 that will be donated to the Rotary fund dedicated to the long-term rebuilding plans.”
In April, the club will be holding a membership day on a Saturday, date to be confirmed, in the King’s Centre.
