SOCIAL SCENE

Island winners
at school draw
St Catherine’s and Ventnor Rotary Club held their Grand Draw
to raise funds to support St Catherine’s children and young
people with speech, language and communication needs and
charities chosen by Ventnor Rotary.
The sea-themed evening, held at Newclose Cricket Ground,
marked the finale of the Grand Draw, which was launched
by the High Sheriff, Nick Hayward, in April. Six of the seven
prizes, including holidays in France, hotel stays in London and
Winchester and tickets to Bestival 2013, were won by Island
residents, with details on the St Catherine’s website.
Rachel Thomson, Head of Business and Charity of St
Catherine’s said, “The Grand Draw was a tremendous
success, raising over £6,000.”
Lucy DeVille, President of Ventnor Rotary, commented, “We
would like to extend our very grateful thanks to everyone who
worked so hard to sell tickets. The money raised will enable
Ventnor Rotary Club to respond to the many applications for
funding we receive from local groups.”
