Foundation and Cotton On Foundation

Incoming Rotary International President Ron Burton and Jetta inspected the two recently arrived vans
which will be fitted out and presented to the Christchurch City Council Mobile
Library Service in December. These were jointly funded by the support of
Australian Districts in obtaining a Rotary Foundation Matching Grant and also
the Cotton On Foundation based in Geelong Australia who partnered in the
project.
Representatives from the City Council, the mobile library
service and Cotton On attended along with Rotarians instrumental in bringing
the project to fruition.
Sincere appreciation was expressed that these two vans will
allow outreach of the mobile library service to areas of the community badly
affected by the loss of local libraries following the sequence of earthquakes
in the Christchurch area since September 2010.
