Christmas projects included Santa's usual tour of the district on the club's sleigh; collections outside stores and in the town centre; marshalling for the fun and festivities in Emsworth for the Christmas lights switch-on; collecting, sorting and delivering for international transport 737 shoeboxes for disadvantaged children in Eastern Europe - many of whom would not have received a gift before; the sponsorship of a community carol service with mulled wine and minced pies; and giving donations to a local charity instead of sending Christmas cards to fellow Rotarians.
