This week, Gerald Illsley, from the Rotary Club of Worthing Steyne, gives an update on the latest and future goings-on.

Last time I wrote about our club’s help providing water boxes and ShelterBoxes to the victims of the recent Haiti hurricane Matthew, the fiercest Caribbean storm in nearly a decade.

This week, a large earthquake, described as shallow, has just hit Italy near Norcia, Umbria.

The area has suffered many earthquakes in recent years, the latest just two months ago.

We have no news of calls for help and support yet, but we have news of severe destruction across the town with many historic buildings flattened, but no injuries reported.

Our ShelterBoxes may come in handy again.

And talking of helping, now may be a time when you and your friends might want to join us through our ARC Lite initiative to help with your time – not your money – and come along to our local events, supporting local organisations, and help us out.

Not a regular arrangement, perhaps just a few hours “donated”?
