On the day that the Rotary Club of Oadby handed over about £8,000 raised at its third annual swimarathon, the Rotary Club of Leicester Novus presented £1,637.33 to Oadby’s appeal for Jaipur Limb camps in Uganda.
The cheque was presented by Jim Matthews, who joined Oadby Rotary in 1986, during a garden party in the garden of Roger Neuberg, who has organised the swimarathons.
Later, Novus treasurer Sheema Karia received this e-mail of thanks from the Oadby club:
Hi Sheema,
This is to acknowledge receipt of the cheque for £1637.33 received from Leicester Novus.
Please accept the thanks of all the members of our Club for your very generous support.
Kind regards
Philip Burrell
Treasurer
Rotary Club of Oadby
