Reading and Caversham Rotaract Raise Funds for Daisy’s Dream

Club President Matt Redfearn presents Yvonne Dexter with a cheque.

Reading and Caversham Rotaract is pleased to announce that during a recent Monday meeting a cheque for £100 was passed to Yvonne Dexter of Daisy’s Dream to help fund their work in assisting bereaved children in Berkshire.

Laura Dielhenn, ex-President of Reading and Caversham Rotaract club, said: “It was great to have a chance to speak to Yvonne and find out more about the work of Daisy’s Dream and this money will go some way to assisting in their excellent work”.

She continued: “Rotaract is a very varied organization carrying out a wide range of activities, including visits from external guest speakers such as Yvonne. While participation in activities is of course not compulsory, most of the club have recently taken part in Dragon Boat racing, a trip to Alton Towers and themed parties. On the charitable side we have been raising funds for a number of local charities such as Daisy’s Dream with activities such as the Reading half marathon, organizing a pub quiz, while also helping out with events such as gardening at the Duchess of Kent House, a local hospice, and developing a garden for convalescence at the Wokingham Hospital . A few weeks ago some of the club even took part in the 26 mile Cheltenham walk. Through our association with Rotary, there has also been the opportunity for a job swap in Australia for a few weeks”.

Reading and Caversham Rotaract meets every first and third Monday at the Allied Arms, St. Mary’s Butts, and is always pleased to welcome new members. For further information please visit the website at http://cav-reading-rotaract.port5.com, or contact Chris at 07720899114.
