Community Committee [Chairman for 2009/10 Richard Dean]

The Community Committee will give help and guidance to enable Rotarians to identify and address the needs of their local community, using their personal and vocational skills and abilities. It will support where possible, given the limited resources of the club, requests for help from local individuals and organisations that meet the club’s criteria for help. This help might not always be financial. The committee will be pleased to consider any ideas, suggestions or projects from club members

The year 2008/09 has been relatively quiet to date but we hope to finish with a flourish on 10 June when we have over 120 people booked on our evening railway excursion to Dereham with the Mid Norfolk Railway, raising money for the improvement of facilities at Wymondham Abbey Halt. Richard Bartram has been collecting quality items for our on-board raffle but we would be grateful for any further contributions, ---- so have a look in your cellars gentlemen!

For the year 2009/10 we shall continue giving local practical support with our Gateway transport from Attleborough on Wednesdays for two local handicapped people and I am grateful to Terry for continuing to be our link for this service.

We will again be providing a Crucial Crew for the Norfolk Fire Service at Easton College. This year it will be on 9 July and a clip board will be circulated in the usual manner next week. I have only been a Rotarian for 18 months but I do finally feel accepted now that I have a clipboard!

Our Christmas carol concert will be held for the residents of Ogden Court on 17 December and Howard Thomas has agreed to play for us again. Providing the singing is sufficiently hearty, my wife has offered to provide the customary refreshments afterwards.

We will continue to support the local Pabulum Café for dementia carers and sufferers, with our time.
And it is on this theme of practical help in the community that I would like my committee to continue with this year. I don’t feel the usual fundraising will be too successful in these austere times so I would ask all Rotarians to let members of the Community and Vocational Committee know of any organisations that they consider may benefit from our, and your, practical help.
