Rotary e-club Laptop Project
Wed, Feb 4th 2026 at 2:30 pm - 4:30 pm
Our small e-club in District 1220 has been supported by many other clubs in the District and achieved great success by collaborating.
Dear Club Secretary,
I am writing to share a short report on the Rotary District 1220 E-Club Laptops Project, which has now reached an important milestone.
What began as a modest plan to collect just five laptops during lockdown has, thanks to the generosity of Rotarians across the District, grown into a five-year initiative delivering 82 laptops and tablets to local schools, special needs pupils, and members of the Ukrainian community.
As a small online-only club, we simply could not have achieved this without the practical support, encouragement, and donations from fellow clubs and their members.
I would be very grateful if you could forward the attached PDF to your members as a thank you and to let them see the impact their support has made. The project truly reflects Rotary collaboration in action.
With thanks for your continued support,
Gillian Campbell
Secretary
