 Dear Governor Sperr,
On behalf of Rotary International President Bill Boyd and President-elect Wilf Wilkinson, thank you for your recent message regarding District 1270’s Hull Freedom Trail project. As one of the RI staff liaisons for Rotary’s Community Service programs, it is a pleasure to respond on the presidents’ behalf. As you know, Rotary was founded on the principle of promoting international understanding, goodwill, and peace through humanitarian service. We appreciate District 1270’s efforts to support these ideals by raising awareness about human trafficking and slavery through the Hull Freedom Trail project. The abolition of human trafficking and slavery is an important cause that resonates deeply in the  humanitarian service of Rotarians around the world. Every year Rotary clubs and districts carryout thousands of projects to promote literacy, alleviate hunger, improve public health, provide safe drinking water, and eliminate poverty. While Rotary as a whole remains committed to the eradication of polio, these individual projects contribute greatly to global development efforts and help prevent human trafficking and slavery. We wish you and District 1270 the best as you embark on your journey along the Hull Freedom Trail and hope your efforts to raise awareness and stop human trafficking and slavery are successful. David Plater, Program Coordinator ,Service Support & Awards Department, Rotary International |

PAY A POUND FOR PEACE was officially launched today in Bill's birthplace, Hull, on the first anniversary of his death. RC of Alford and Mablethorpe are finishing the work that one of their members, Past RI President Bill Huntley started in his presidential year. (Full details of what the club want to achieve will appear on the website very soon) The campaign started with RIBI President dropping his donation into a  hard hat provided by DG Rolf and together with the RC of Humberside and Guests $92 were raised. "The Hat" which turned into a pink and white sports cap then collected  approximately $65 at RC Thorne's meeting. The hat was a Gentleman's Trilby at the weekly lunch meeting for Hull Club where a further $70 were collected. It is hoped that "The Hat" will be passed between Rotarians throughout the world |
