The Lord Lieutenant of East Sussex Peter Field was in Seaford on 23 February to officially open a Rotary shop based at 18 Broad Street. The shop was open for one week and its aim was to promote Rotary by showing how the town's two clubs raise money for local good causes.
Seaford mayor Councillor Tracy Willis was among guests invited to attend the opening which took place on Rotary Day to mark the 105th Anniversary of its foundation.
The town's two Rotary clubs also joined forces to promote the Rotary 'Thanks for Life' campaign. Under this banner Rotary International
will attempt to raise $200million by 2012 to match a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The money will provide inoculations to stop the spread of the disease polio. Just ?1.00 is sufficient to provide a vaccine which will give lifelong protection to 5 children.
