Appeal for community projects for Rotarians to support

Anew defibrillator has been placed outside Eccleshall Community Library thanks to a project between Eccleshall Community Library, Eccleshall Parish Council and Eccleshall Rotary.

Now the Rotarians are calling on new projects for them to help support.

A spokesman said: “Calling local clubs, associations and charities. Thanks to the generous support of people in Eccleshall, Yarnfield and surrounding villages we wish to continue our key aim to support our local community.

“We were pleased to be able to contribute to the cost of the defibrillator at Eccleshall Library recently, but we have room to do more.

“With this in mind if e.g new or replacement equipment is needed by a voluntary group we may be able to help.

“We also support local charities– to make an informal enquiry please contact us.”

The spokesman continued: “What information to send? Final details not needed at this stage but please include the following: brief details of what you would like to have funded; an idea of the approximate amount involved; the name of your organisation; the contact person’s name and contact details including email address and telephone number.

“If it would help to discuss over the phone prior to making a request John Ogbourne is contactable on 07796 273885.”

Meanwhile, Eccleshall Rotary Club is also on the look out for additional likeminded volunteers to join them.

The spokesman said: “If you’re interested in joining Rotary Eccleshall Mercia to use your time, talents, professional skills and energy to improve the lives of people in your local community, read on.

“And, in the process, you can enjoy the benefits of business networking, personal development, meeting new friends, hearing inspiring speakers, having a great deal of fun and experiencing that special sense of fulfilment that comes from achieving something really worthwhile.”
