Guides and Brownies 'Like' ShelterBox Print E-mail
Written by Mike Thorpe   

potters_bar_guides_shelterbox.jpgOn the 18th October 2011, members of Potters Bar Rotary Club, Roger Philpott, Doug Fussell and Pierre-Paul Tengwo gave a presentation about Shelter Box to the Potters Bar Guides, invited by the Potters Bar Guide Leader Janet Reid. Everybody enjoyed the evening judging by the amount of interest the girls showed during the presentation and judging by the pertinent questions asked during the session by the girls.

Following the presentation a large number of our members attended the Potters Bar and District Guides and Brownies Christmas Carol Service on the 1st December 2011 at St Mary's Church in Potters Bar. The Club members helped set up the tent as well as showing the items in the Box during the Church service.

A total of £784 was raised, to be sent to Shelter Box, and I'm sure this is just a start of a long term co-operation between our two organizations for good causes within our community and around the world.

A Thought...

glennestessl.jpg"One of the most wonderful things about Rotary is that it allows you to be part of something so much larger than yourself."

Glenn E. Estess Snr., RI President 2005.

Nothing Changes...

paul-harris.jpg"I would like to think that the pioneering days of Rotary have only just begun. There are just as many new things to be done as ever there were. Kaleidoscopic changes are taking place, many of them without our will. Even to hang on to the fringe of this fast-changing world is about all most of us can do. Rotary simply must continue to pioneer or be left in the rear of progress."

Paul Harris - The Rotarian February 1945
