This year we celebrated Rotary International’s 105th anniversary on the 23rd of February. Havelok joined Rotary clubs around the world to recognize the day, also known as Rotary’s “World Understanding and Peace Day.”
Rotary, a global network of community volunteers, is one of the largest and most influential international humanitarian service organizations worldwide. Founded in Chicago on February 23, 1905, today over 1.2 million members belong to 33,000 Rotary clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas.
We collected along with our other local clubs at both Tesco stores on Saturday 27th to raise money for the ‘final push’ to eradicate Polio from the world.
Rotary’s top philanthropic goal is to eradicate polio worldwide. To date, Rotary has contributed nearly US$850 million and countless volunteer hours to the protection of more than two billion children in 122 countries. Rotary is currently working to raise an additional $200 million toward a $355 million challenge grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. These efforts are providing much needed operational support, medical personnel, laboratory equipment and educational materials for health workers and parents. In addition, Rotary has played a major role in decisions by donor governments to contribute over $4 billion to the effort. For more information, visit www.rotary.org/endpolio.

The St Clement's College Drama Club decided to donate their Talent Show takings from the Thursday 4th February's performance to the Shelter Box appeal for Haiti.
Rotarian and Chair of International for Rotary Club of Havelok in Grimsby and teacher at the college Chris Suich had organised the collection of loose change for a week from the whole school during assemblies. This had resulted in £150.00 being raised.
However the students had been watching the regular updates on the BBC.co.uk news and had seen the Shelter Boxes in action and they wanted to do more fundraising to try to reach a target figure of £490.00 which would buy a complete shelter box for 10 people to live in.
The Talent Show was a great success and credit must be given to all the students, teachers and the Drama department for putting on a wonderful show. The amount raised was over £500.00.
This college has a long and successful history of supporting the charities of Rotary International and are keen to help when it comes to International disasters like the Tsunami of some years ago and now the Haiti Earthquake. They have also supported the Wheelchair Foundation and only last week (January 19th) two year 7 classes held an assembly called 'Making a difference' which was about raising awareness of the Wheelchair Foundation and the work of Ken Behring it's founder.
A big thank you to all the students and staff of the St Clement's College, in Skegness who have proved they can all make a difference to other people's lives when disaster strikes.
