Last year, Lorrie identified a school in East London that could use some help. Her first move was to recruit some helpers and spruce up the landscaping on the school property. 
President Bonnie Hudson and Sila Joshua sign an agreement to collect a pool of money from Club members and interested friends to support young people from South Sudan who are working on a college education. These young people will use their skills to help build South Sudan, the world's newest country. 
As well as a financial donation from our Club to the Toys for Tots project, Deb, Bonnie (wearing the Rotary Participation shades!) and Susan Cassan joined armed forces volunteers to fill Santa bags with new gifts for children ages 3 to 13.

The Rotary Club of Durbanville is located close to Cape Town, South Africa. Cape Town is a coastal city in South Africa. It is the second-most populous urban area in South Africa after Johannesburg. It is also the capital and primate city of the Western Cape province.
London East Rotary collected bicycles and bike parts to send over in a container to The Rotary Club of Durbanville. It was reported from Durbanville that a total of 204 bicycles were deemed to be complete, usable and suitable for distribution. The bulk of these were distributed to Empowerment Centres.
Rotary Club of London East is 'MAKING A DIFFERENCE'.
What a day to celebrate
Why make such a big deal out of meeting attendance?
The attendance rules may at times seem unnecessarily rigid, but being present at club meetings is one of the basic obligations a member accepts on joining a Rotary club. The constitutional rules emphasize that Rotary is a participatory organization that highly values regular attendance. When a member is absent the entire club loses the personal association with that member, and the member loses touch with the activities of the club. Attendance is the "glue" that holds the club together and provides the basic framework for service. It is a vital part of the operation and success of every Rotary club.

What is a Paul Harris Fellow?
To recognize a person as a Paul Harris Fellow it is a "recognition of exceptional service."
THANK YOU PAUL FARROW FOR YOU DEDICATION TO ROTARY. 45 YEARS OF PERFECT ATTENDANCE AND A PAUL HARRIS FELLOW. YOU ARE LEADING THE WAY AS TO WHAT A ROTARIAN IS.
The Rotary Club of London East would like to thank Susan Storie for all her amazing work as Area 4 - Assistant Governor. There were many times we called on her for her leadership and advice.
All the best to you Sue. We look forward to creating a good relationship with The Rotary Club of Hyde Park.
Rotary Club of London East delivered over 800 Dictionaries to 3rd Graders in London and Area!!!!!
“The Dictionary Project” was started over eleven years ago in South Carolina when Mary French set out to give a dictionary to every third grader in every school in South Carolina, every year.
The dictionaries are handpicked to fit the needs of young students learning to read and write.
The dictionary has larger print and is small enough for growing hands and contains most words that third graders use.
The 3rd grade was targeted because this is the age when children are beginning to learn the importance of words; in their speech and in their writing.
Having a dictionary of their own gives them ‘word power’ to write essays in later years, to read a book and understand it, and to function in the business world when they grow up.
It will also be a help to teachers and in doing homework.
It is not a children’s book, but one they can keep and use all their lives, helping them to become knowledgeable adults.

Bike Project
London East Rotary - El Dorado Rotary Club Bogota
"Bike project set back"
What does this mean?
Delay means time for a grant, our fundraising committee will apply (all applications must be complete by February 2017.
Why is there a delay?
The Rotary Club in Bogota was working with a school "Sena" to set up a course to repair and distribute bikes.
The teachers were organizing to help supplement payment for the shipping container from Cartagena to Bogota.
We found out that the legal department is saying "they cannot do this".
The El Dorado Rotary Club will now fundraise and approach corporations to raise the $2500
Since we have more time, let's add more value to the project
1. Tool kits to repair a bicycle
2. Donation centre for tools
3. Elderly people not needing tools
4. Drive for more bicycles
5. Bicycle pumps
6. Bike helmets
7. Bicycle bells
8. Reflective tape
Let's continue to grow and organize this Bicycle Project.
