Tom Ho Memorial Bus Fund Update

Our dear member Tom passed away last August when a fund was established to raise funds to provide a new mini bus to Croydon M.S Society, Croydon branch. Contributions have been received from friends, family, Rotarians and Rotary Clubs around the world and at the recent A.G.M we were happy to present a cheque for over £16,000.

The bus has been ordered and delivery is expected within the next 6 - 8 weeks. A formal presentation of the bus will be arranged to commemorate the handover.

Preesident Bill said "I would like to thank all those who made contributions to the fund which has allowed us to provide this important and much needed resource to the M.S Society. Tom would I am sure be delighted that this objective has been achieved in his name."
