PRESIDENT PHIL'S THANKYOU MESSAGE
Harpenden Village Rotary Club members would like to say a big Thank You to all the residents of Harpenden and surrounding villages who so generously supported our fund raising throughout 2011. As a result we have been able to donate a record £31,000 to charities and other good causes.
Included in that figure is £17,000 raised through our classic car meeting, Classics on the Common. This enabled us to make substantial donations to the three main beneficiaries - St Francis Hospice, The National Deaf Children's Society and WaterAid.
Another successful fundraiser is our Santa's float. Introduced in Wheathampstead in 2005 its coverage now extends to Blackmore End and Kimpton.
As ever, local community groups and international charities were the chief beneficiaries of our donations. Funds and disaster equipment sent abroad were handled by local Rotarians who ensured that they reached the people in need.
