Rotary Club of Donaghadee

  

  District 1160 Ireland


On Easter Saturday and Monday members of the Rotary club were on duty at Donaghadee Garden Centre Stockbridge Road distributing Easter Eggs for charity.

The members took turns to dress up in Easter Bunny suits and distribute chocolate Easter Eggs to children visiting the garden centre. The money donated by the children’s parents will be divided between the following Rotary charities:

Action Cancer, Marie Curie and The Alzheimer’s Society  

It was interesting to see the bemused expressions on the faces of the adults who found themselves waving back to a 6ft white rabbit. All the various shaped Rotarians managed to fit into the two Easter Bunny suits borrowed for the occasion without any great difficulty. Except for one member who shall remain nameless. This member was surprised how cramped his feet were in the bunny suit until he realised that President Les had left his slippers in the bunnies feet. Or was the Rotarian in question trying to find out if he could fill the presidents shoes?

The grand sum of £600 was raised. The Rotarians would like to thank all those parents and grandparents who donated to the charities involved and the owners  of Donaghadee Garden Centre for donating the Easter Eggs and inviting the club to participate in this venture.
