Nuts on the Dart
Dartmouth Rotary Club did some novel fund-
raising just before Christmas: they opened a stall produce no less than three Santas and two Elves
selling chestnuts.
Collecting days were varied, with rain, winds and
high humidity, but, by the time the sun came out
on the last day and Dartmouth had got through
their allocation of nuts, they’d taken in an
impressive £1,077.
“It’s always a bit of fun and you meet some
people you only see once a year, like the gent
who gives two pence several times a shift, but
he’s what they call a loss leader.”

Service above Elf
The Rotary Club of Penzance were able to
for the Grotto at the Wharfside on the two
Saturdays before Christmas.
With a “Ho, Ho, Ho!”, some kind donations of
suitable gifts, and lots pf preparation and hel[p
from staff and students at Penrith College, over
200 children were welcomed in to the Grotto and
a very useful sum was raised for St Petroc’s
Society to help the local homeless
Many thanks to all Rotarians who shook collecting
buckets in the wind and rain, also to the general
public for their generosity.
