Thanks to Rotarian Lawrence Alexander, proprietor of The Swan, just under £4500 was raised by the club during the week of the Farnborough 2010 International Airshow.

While the money will support a number of projects locally and in the UK a significant donation went to Shelterbox, a Rotary Global Project for disaster relief based in the UK. Learn more about Shelterbox.
