INDIAN EARTHQUAKE APPEAL

The following letter appeared in "The Comet" on February 22, 2001, in response to various fundraising events in connection with the Indian earthquake appeal:

SIR - I would like to thank the people of Letchworth for giving so generously to our recent street collection in aid of the Indian earthquake victims on Saturday, February 10. I am also grateful to Letchworth Howard Rotary Club and Letchworth Inner Wheel Club for helping with the appeal.

The street collection raised over £600 which was supplemented by donations from St George's Church (£35), St Nicholas School (£202) and Letchworth Inner Wheel (£100). Further donations received by club member Sunil Vilas (£170) brought the final total to £1,130 - an excellent effort by everyone concerned.

Bob Hopcraft
Chairman, International Committee,
The Rotary Club of Letchworth Garden City.
