Introducing a new way to become a member of Rotary
The essence of Rotary is a worldwide network of inspired individuals who translate their passions into relevant social causes to change lives in communities.
Rotary e-Clubs follow the same policies as 'conventional' Rotary clubs. The key difference is that an e-Club conducts its meetings on the club’s website and using other social networking tools. Rather than being physically present at an appointed day and time, members may interact with the e-Club at any time and any day of the week.

Urgent Appeal for RIBI linked project in Iramba
A project in Tanzania that RIBI has been funding is in its final stages. We have come so far with this project and have provided thousands of people with a lasting supply of safe water, sanitation and hygiene education.
However, there is still a lot of work to do in order to reach everyone and we urgently need to drill 6 new boreholes and rehabilitate 8 shallow dug wells.
We are looking for a final push in funding between now and World Water Day, 22nd March 2012, to finalize this work.
Visible recognition
For a number of years Lichfield St Chad Rotary has donated many old/surplus glasses (spectacles) to Vision Aid Overseas, a charity who specialise in helping people who need spectacles in under developed countries and who have worked in 26 countries and helped over 1 million patients to see.
In recognition of our ongoing donations, we have recieved a certificate from VAO as acknowledgement of our support. Thank you to everyone who has donated glasses.
The Butterfly Tree Charity
The Butterfly Tree Charity supports rural communities in Zambia decimated by the HIV/AID's pandemic - providing safe water, feeding programs, improved health and education facilities and an orphan sponsorship program. All funds go directly to the cause and all members are volunteers.
European fundraiser nets more than US$893,000

Please Support Dogs for the Disabled
All of us at Dogs for the Disabled are delighted to have been chosen as one of District 1060’s main charities of the 2011/12 year. We would like to introduce ourselves before we attend the conference in Llandudno in October. We’re very much looking forward to being at your gathering and for the opportunity for one or two of our clients to show you just how their dogs have made such a huge difference to their lives.
