Great Missenden Rotary ran a Stroke Awareness promotion at Misbourne School’s 50th anniversary fete on Sunday 18 June 2006. Cherie Blair is seen having her blood pressure measured by Jenny Plews. Jenny is a qualified nurse and is married to a Rotarian. On that day, Great Missenden were also promoting ticket sales for a Duck Race to raise money for McMillan Cancer Relief and other Rotary Charities. ▲

A Tournament held at Hatfield Bishops Girls’ School, aimed at getting local children interested in “real business and technology”. In this competition all aspects of making popcorn had to be completed (formulating, making, quality control, package design, package filling, advertising and making a website).  Among others, the BBC, MacDonald’s and Hatfield Rotary Club were involved. ▲

The annual charity cycle ride, organised by the three St Albans clubs has been running for ten years and this year attracted about 1600 cyclists. It raises a fantastic £40,000 for charity each year

Community and Vocational Service Projects often tie in with our International Service projects. Pictured above is President Doug Fussell receiving an Aquabox from the children of St Mary's Primary School, Welham Green. The Head teacher, Alison Botareli commented "We felt this was a good alternative to fundraising because the children could understand the use of these things and how they would go to another country to help other people". ▲

Bikes presented to the "Otley Family Centre" by Bushey & Oxhey Rotary Club. The the faces of the children were unbelievable when they saw them initially. Bushey & Oxhey do a lot of work at this Centre including a Panto at Christmas and Kids Out. ◄
