Our May 13, 2022 “Night in Lisbon" Portuguese Wine & Food Pairing was another successful fundraiser for the Rotary Club of London Hyde Park, thanks to our sponsors, our entertainer Bryan Gloyd, our donors and bidders of online and live auction items, our raffle ticket buyers, West Haven staff, our volunteers and our ticket holders. The food prepared by Chef Darrell and his staff was a feast for both the eyes and the palate…beautifully presented in a timely fashion by the West Haven waitstaff and paired perfectly with the Portuguese wines selected by our wine expert Malcolm. Stay tuned for information about our Spring 2023 event.

Congratulations to the winner of our Canadian Tapas Dinner for 8, valued at $1500 -Lorna Gunning-Fratschko of London.

Dear Cindy

Hope you and all at RC Hyde Park are doing well. I am emailing to let you know the EXCITING news that this Friday, at 10:30am EAT, the Rotary Club of Arusha will be handing over the 15 bicycles funded by RC Hyde Park to Olmoti Secondary School. There will be a little ceremony at the school, and I have invited a representative from the City Council.

We will display some Rotary branding/ banners on the day - would you like us to hand over a certificate or anything similar to the school with RC Hyde Park + RC Arusha branding? If yes, please could you assist in designing this. I believe there is a little money left over which we could use to print and frame this. I have attached our RC Arusha logo. Today and tomorrow are public holidays here in Tanzania so I will not be able to work on this - and then Thursday we will need to arrange printing and framing.

Thanks so much to RC Hyde Park for your wonderful support!

Warm wishes,

Samantha

The results of the Hyde Park Rotary Club's fundraising - pink bicycles donated to girls who live far from their school, assisting them in cutting their travel time to allow additional time to dedicate to their schoolwork and also allowing for a safer journey to and from their distant school.

"Hope you are doing well! We at the Rotary Club of Arusha are very well and very happy - this past Thursday - Saturday we had our District 9214 conference, it was my first DCA and was so special and memorable. Our club scooped 3 awards - Most Transformational Project for Goodbye thirsty (13 years, 7 consecutive projects, $1,2 million, 130,000 beneficiaries in almost 30 villages in the very dry Arumeru region getting access to water through huge rainwater harvesting); I received a personal award for Best Monitoring and Evaluation/ Reporting in the district, and our club was Rotary Club of the Year (runner up) from almost 100 clubs in our District. See attached a few pictures for your interest.

I also attach a few more pictures from the beautiful day of the bicycle hand over. There is also a clip about this from a local news station - https://youtu.be/c8RBAPu8rz4. It is in Swahili but nice to see some footage of the day. You can see me in the last minute or so of the video speaking English. Would you like us to prepare a formal report about this project?

With thanks to RC Hyde Park for your support. In case your club is interested in supporting more bicycles, there is certainly need and a lot of interest. Just let us know:) I know our member Ralph will be attending your meeting soon, in June I believe. Looking forward to strengthening the relationship between our clubs!

Warm wishes,

Samantha"
