Rotary Club of Thanet
The Rotary Club of Thanet extends a huge thank you to the people of Thanet for their generosity in supporting the club’s sponsored walk on September 12-13. So far, some £3,300 has been raised for local causes. The money will go to Pilgrims Hospice, Porchlight, Millmead Children’s Centre and to the club’s own Cinderella Fund, which is used to support these and other Thanet initiatives.
Rotary members, their families and friends completed the walk along the Thanet Coastal Path. The weather and companionship were wonderful. And some found time to enjoy a quick drink at the Pavilion in Broadstairs, before resuming the trek. Such a relief in these difficult Covid times. This is the second year for the walk, which will be a regular fundraising event. Over the 2 years, Thanet people have donated over £11,000. Amazing! And the books are not closed yet. Anyone interested in making a donation and learning more about the club can do so on the club’s website www.rotaryclubofthanet.co.uk.
Silver Sunday
Silver Sunday is a national day for celebrating older people and usually the Kent Coast Volunteering group puts on an event in Thanet. As they are unable to do that this year they are running an online event instead.
There is a full programme of exciting activities for Sunday, October 4.
