Haiti Appeal raises £7,000

Haiti Collectors

Following a rapid decision taken on Thursday 14th January to help victims of the Haiti Earthquake, on Saturday 16th January 2010, 60 Rotarians from 10 local Clubs “answered the call” to collect for the victims in Broadmead and Cabot Circus. 

Saturday shoppers in Broadmead and Cabot Circus donated a magnificent £7,000 to the Rotarians who were collecting for the Red Cross Haiti Earthquake DEC Appeal. 

Rotarians around Bristol have a tradition of “answering the call” and of motivating members on such occasions and on December 29th 2004, and in 2005, a similar number of Rotarians turned out to collect for the Tsunami and Asian Earthquake Appeals.
