The work done by the Community Service Committee is the
public face of Rotary in our local community, aiming to help local needs by
providing practical and financial help to both groups and individuals. Many and varied are the projects that Rutherglen members
support and get involved with. Here are some of the projects that we are
currently involved in, ¨ Organising our annual Christmas Raffle for various charities. - Last year the proceeds were donated to the Maggies Centre. This will be our charity again for this year. ¨ Organising Fun Events for Charities - A Race Night is planned for 22 or 29th February 2008 to raise funds for our major commitment to support the supply of a Maggies oncology nurse at the new Gartnaval facility. ¨
Cartland Bridge Outing – An annual outing for the elderly
for high tea and entertainment at the Cartland Bridge Hotel, Lanark. This
longstanding activity is being planned this year by Barry Toshner and should
take place in May 2008 ¨
Holidays for the less privileged – For over 25 years the Club
has organised these weeklong holidays now provided in our flat in Largs.
¨ Landemar Day- We intend again supporting this major event in the Royal Burgh of Rutherglen's calendar by repeating our fund raising efforts by having a Book Sale stall and for the 2008 year we are considering extending this to the sale of DVDs and CDs so if you have any of these spare save them for this event. ¨
