Art Auction for Umoja
We have received this information from David Winter, whom many of you will know as he has supplied o
all our bread for bbq’s and fundraising for free/gratis for years.  He is currently providing meals for many many Covid disadvantaged people and international students.
 
He supports the Umoja community in Tanzania.
 
This is an online Art Auction featuring international artists.

End Polio
 
This is your invitation to join the Rotaboars Team in the virtual End Polio Walk during October.  Join and be part of our Rotaract Team - we would love as many members as possible!  It is not arduous as you set your walking total yourself so you can walk as much or as little as you want.  And you do it by yourself - virtually - so no pressure!!
 
We would love you to join or donate to our Team.
