Community
The Community Committee supports and organises events for the benefit of the local community of Ware and the surrounding area. The committee often works along side neighbouring Rotary Clubs to support local charities and fundraising activities.
Recent and forthcoming events include:-
Usbourne Dictionary (September 2009)
Rotarians have presented a copy of The Usborne Illustrated Dictionary to each pupil in Year 4 at Wheatcroft School, Hertford. The dictionaries are easy to use and pocket-sized containing thousands of simple definitions and colour illustrations. They include the latest words and phrases, along with a simple guide to the different parts of speech. The dictionaries are based on using straightforward definitions that the reader will understand, and has the additional benefit of including tips on grammar, spelling and writing.
Ware Firework Display (November 2009)
This year, around 5000 local people supported the main fireworks display in Ware, hosted by the Rotary Clubs of Amwell, Ware and of course Hertford Shires. The weather stayed fine and dry, and the event went off with a 'bang'...or two. This is one of the club’s major fund raising activities. The Community Committee helps generate sponsorship from local businesses, and co-ordinates the running of the event.
