Inner Wheel District 10 Overseas Service 2011-2012     Overseas Service Rally Report Report by Eileen Gilbert, Overseas Service Organiser     The Overseas Service Rally had received much positive feedback and was enjoyed by all who attended. Special thanks must go to Hereford Wye Valley Inner Wheel Club for their help in organising the event, particularly preparing and serving the food and setting up and clearing up afterwards.   Members were most impressed by the cup cake flowers, made by a member of the club, which were raffled on each table and Eileen thought that the concept may appear at other club meetings - it was simple, but effective and much admired. Thanks must also go to Rotarians who helped to set up and man the audio/visual equipment and the bar.   The guest speaker was Hugo Pike, from the charity WorldWaterWorks, which is organised and administered by Chelwood Bridge Rotary Club and provide Water Survival Boxes. These boxes are sent all over the world when clean water emergencies arise and at a cost of £150, provide a water filtering kit, containers and basic cooking and emergency survival equipment. They get through customs quickly as each box is identical, so are often the first help to arrive.   The profit from the Rally will go to WorldWaterWorks. As there was a good attendance with much support for the raffles and stalls. Clubs will be informed of the final total raised as soon as all the bills have been received. Eileen, the Overseas Service Organiser, would like to thank all who attended for making it such an enjoyable and profitable day out.
