The club successfully collected for its charities at the IKEA store in Edmonton and was very pleased to receive a cheque from IKEA for £200.
The collection was well supported by the presence of Father Christmas and Dobbie the Reindeer which attracted many children.

Rotary and the Earthquake Disaster in Haiti
Dear Friends
Dear Friends
We’re in the middle of one of the biggest challenges we’ve ever faced. The earthquake in Haiti has left a million people homeless and in desperate need of emergency shelter.
An international ShelterBox Response Team were immediately mobilised and arrived
in Port au Prince within 48 hours of the earthquake; a remarkable achievement for them and for ShelterBox. None of this could happen without our Response Teams; these extraordinary people who do extraordinary things. To all of them, I say thank you.

At the same time, none of this could happen without you, our friends and supporters. Since the earthquake struck we have witnessed acts of generosity, kindness and compassion on a daily basis. People of all ages, from all walks of life, from every corner of the globe have been moved to act; and act they have.
Our wonderful volunteers here at our Helston base have not stopped, thousands of boxes have been packed and thousands more will be packed. Our Rotarian and other friends, who are always there for us, have raised the bar yet again with their fundraising efforts. Our affiliate countries have spread the ShelterBox message further than it has ever gone before. Youngsters in schools
and Scout groups around the UK are doing their part, are wanting to help and are doing so in incredible ways. Our small number of staff have not stopped and will not stop.
The response ShelterBox and its supporters have made, on every level, has exceeded all expectations.

We have seen the picture of Carlos, the four year-old boy who had his leg amputated, who was given a colouring book and crayons fromour Children’s Pack and is now secure and cared for in one of our tents. A simple thing making a huge difference. We have seen the picture of Ulrique Idal and her newborn son, Edwige sheltered and secure in a ShelterBox tent. With your help we have brought hope to Carlos, Ulrique, Edwige and thousands of others at a time when they need it most.
My heartfelt thanks go out to all our supporters for everything you are doing for ShelterBox. It is a privilege and an honour to be able to help the people of Haiti in their time of great need.
