OTHER PROJECTS IN BRIEF
Mock Interviews
In order to prepare school leavers for those all important job interviews some Wakefield Rotarians give up their time to partake in mock interviews with them.
We know from the feed-back from schools that they and the students really appreciate the way in which our member's experience in these situations is put to such good use.
The schools taking part in the scheme are
City of Wakefield High School
Crofton High School
The Cathedral School
This is a Vocational Service project.
Pinderfields Hospital Chapel
Every Sunday morning Rotarians from this club and the Rotary Club of Wakefield Chantry attend Pinderfields Hospital to take patients by wheelchair to the service which is conducted in the chapel by the chaplain.
The club has been associated with the hospital chapel for many years and was instrumental in providing furniture for it. In addition the club's annual church service is held there each summer.
This is a Community Service project
Annual Raffle
This vaulable activity raises in the region of £4,000 each year. The funds are earmarked in advance, in whote or in part, for charities which we support such as Macmillan Cancer Care or the Wakefield Hospice. Any balance is shared between smaller causes where we know the money will be well spent.
Each year members sell tickets to their family, friends and aquaintances. In addition we are very grateful to the management of the Wyevale Garden Centre at Carr Gate, Wakefield, for their help in allowing us to offer tickets for sale to their customers on several weekends.
In the past the draw has taken place at our Gala in early May. In 2008 the draw will take place at the evening concert at the Wakefield Arts Festival on 5th July.
This is a Ways & Means project
