Rebecca says thanks ..

 
Your club donates to many, many causes.  In fact, by being part of a club, we are able to donate much more than could be achieved individually. 
 
Last year we donated over $40,000 to various groups in the community.  
 
But rarely do we receive a thank-you note as heartfelt as this one from Rebecca Holland. (And there is more good news in the post script...)
 
"Dear Alexandra Headland Rotarians, 
 
Thank you so much for your generous donation. I apologise for the tardiness of this note, but I wanted to be able to tell you exactly where your donation was going.
 
Tommy is 17, a victim of chronic child abuse that has serious mental health issues as a result.
 
Susan is 16, and she and her 5 siblings lost their mum to cancer last year, they all now live with Grandma. 
 
Graham is 18. He is bright and motivated but socially isolated and falls into the funding support gap.
 
These 3 young people will receive adequate professional instruction to join the program. (Braking the Cycle)
 
Thank you, Alexandra Headland Rotary,
 
Three lives have been improved through your generosity,
 
Best regards
 
Rebecca

PS. Thanks to one of our club members, we've put the “Braking the Cycle” group in touch with a neighbour of a Rotarian who now donates one day a week of his time to mentoring the kids in need to become professional in their driving.  Perhaps more importantly just " being there" and a being a great adult role model to the kids.
