'Service Above Self, Fellowship Through Service'
On 23rd February 1905, Rotary International was founded by Chicago-based lawyer, Paul Harris. This year, Rotary Day will celebrate 116 years of our incredible organisation!
During that time, Rotary has united people in a common purpose – making connections and making a difference. That ethos rings true today, as we continue to support our communities when they need it most.
The Rotary Club of Sleaford Kesteven has donated £4,000 to the New Life Community Larder in Sleaford. (Half of the money came from money raised after last year’s Beer Festival and the other half from a Rotary Foundation (Charity) District Grant) President Karen is pictured presenting a cheque to Rod Munro, the Community Impact Coordinator and Anna Maltby. Food parcels have been labelled with Rotary Stickers with 120 parcels being delivered immediately. The money will provide a month’s worth of food parcels.
“With the help of fellow Rotarian David Hart, we helped to collect a food delivery from Aldi worth £900 and joined staff in topping up the crates ready for the next batch of parcels to be prepared,” said Karen. Demand for the Larder service has gone up seven fold in recent weeks.
Thank you to the residents of Sleaford and the local area for supporting the annual Beer Festival so that we can provide donations such as this. If permitted we are trying to hold this years in late September.
The Rotary Club of Sleaford Kesteven is continuing to collect aluminium cans in Ruskington and Sleaford. The one at the Winchelsea Car Park was full and has been emptied and the one at Hockmeyer Motors/Spa at Holdingham was also nearly full. So while you are on your essential journeys to shop, please remember to get rid of your cans this way. Please remember to use the crusher on the receptacle as we can get more can in this way.
