The annual Rotary Shoebox Appeal is well underway in Verwood! Local schools and churches are busy filling their specially provided boxes ready This great initiative sends gift filled shoeboxes to disadvantaged children in Eastern Europe to bring them joy at Christmas. Last year an amazing 18,000 boxes were sent from Rotary clubs across the Wessex District. Thank you to all taking part! Thanks too to Verwood House Care Home (a corporate member of our club) who are happy for boxes to be dropped off directly by Friday 6th November, ready for club members to pack up for delivering before Christmas.
