The Tsunami disaster brought the plight of the displaced and dispossessed to the public mind in an unprecedented way.
The response of members of the Club and their friends and associates led to an opportunity to explain the purpose of an Aquabox and make the collection of the contents a routine activity for many.

There is a very busy time ahead for members of the Reepham & District
Rotary. 
Those who are able to sing are busy practising for the old time
music hall, which is to take place at Reepham High School on Saturday 19th
March.  The group from Sussex have again agreed to put on a new show and to
help with the entertainment would be a stint from the Rotarians.

During March and April members are building a new shower and toiler block at
Whitwell Hall.  Luckily there are 5 builders and 2 architects in the club
plus a lot of labourers!  Teams of Rotarians will physically build the
structure and Rotarian Eddie Rust Andrews will supervise the project.  It is
to be the club's Rotary centaury project.

After the building work has been completed, we then have a sponsored cycle
ride on May 22nd. 

A big effort is being made to replenish the coffers after
monies had been promised to acquire Aquaboxes for the Tsunami disaster.
