SIR – The Rotary Club of Otley recently held collections at Sainsbury’s supermarket in Otley on behalf of an appeal for victims of the Philippines Haiyan typhoon.
I am delighted to say that along with other contributions made to the club a sum of £2,895 was raised. I would like to thank all contributors and in particular the management of Sainsbury’s for allowing our collections and those customers who contributed for their generosity in raising this magnificent sum.
The moneys collected along with funds from the club’s reserves will be used in the purchase of Shelter Boxes, shelterboxes.org/haiyan, and Lifestraws, lifestraws.org.uk, which will be shipped to those areas of the Philippines where they are most needed.
Keith Thompson, president, Rotary Club of Otley
