Dear 41 Club GB&I,
It is now two weeks since we witnessed the dreadful impact of the earthquake
in Japan. Since then we have not been idle and have been in discussion with
ShelterBox (the organisation set up by Rotary to respond to global disasters
with a very effective immediate shelter and aid). They have already dispatched
over 200 ShelterBoxes from their Pacific depot and have earmarked £1 million
to support ongoing requirements. One thing is clear from the continuing news
coverage that up to half a million people remain homeless and are occupying
temporary and ad hoc shelters. ShelterBox do not know what the demands on
them will be. Details of ShelterBox can be seen on their website http://www.shelterbox.org/
I have written to the member organisations of 41 Club International asking
for their support and will follow up personally this weekend at the Finnish
AGM where many international associations will be represented. ShelterBox
are delighted that 41 Club is preparing to support them.
In response to the human tragedy and misery that we are seeing every day on
the TV reports I am initiating an immediate appeal to all 41 Clubs in GB&I
to respond to this ongoing disaster and I am asking every club to contribute
at least one ShelterBox by the time of our National AGM at Ipswich on 16th
April, 2011.
The cost of a single ShelterBox is £600 and will provide shelter for up to
ten people. Please send your contributions as soon as possible to our international
accountnumber 80007951 Sort Code 20-07-71.
If you would rather send cheques then please contact National Treasurer, Mike
Turner treasurer@41club.org.
With your commitment and support we have every chance to send over 1,000 ShelterBoxes.
Many clubs have AGMs coming up, please respond as soon as possible and use
whatever opportunity you have to hit and exceed this target.
Yours in Continued Friendship
Malcolm Lockey
National President

At our club AGM on Monday 21st September 2009 it was proposed by our outgoing treasurer Neil Bates and seconded by incoming treasurer Sean Smith that all the remaining money (£67) of our membership club account would be given to this years National President's nominated charity "help to heroes". The motion was voted upon and carried unanimously by the full room of members (plus 5 other people present who were nothing to do with our club - strange!)
