Bookarama Thank You

Big Thank You for Supporting Bookarama!

Bookarama is over for another year. What an amazing event with so much support from the community. Thank you to those who donated books and special thanks to all who purchased books, games, puzzles, CDs, DVDs or vinyl. 2020 was a record year with the greatest number of high-quality books in Bookarama's 20-year history. We also raised more funds than any previous year which is especially pleasing. As we know 2020 has been a very challenging year for so many so the additional funds raised this year will enable us to put more back into areas of need. Thank you for your support. It is much appreciated. If you would like to know more about Rotary, or simply let us know that you could possibly help us with Bookarama next year, please send us your contact details and we will be in touch. We will be back next year. See you again then.

Normal Meetings Restart

President Gavin Green was pleased to lead the club’s first physical meeting at the Howick Club after weeks of lockdown 2.5. It was great for members to meet again and socialize over drinks and dinner. The occasion was used to update members on the developments of the Communications Group relating to the web site, Facebook and Keyway using a live demonstration through the Howick Club’s WIFI. The effectiveness of these media channels in keeping the public informed of the Bookarama project were clearly evident with 3000 followers on Facebook and 1000 active users on the web site over the last 30 days.
Committee Directors also updated the meeting on activities that had progressed under lockdown as well as outlining future work. Now we can really get going!
Bookarama Project Leader Geoff Thompson also took the opportunity to thank individuals and the club as a whole for a successful project and this was reinforced with a big “self-cheers” ordered by Sergeant Ian Fox.
