  THE CLUB DONATES 1000 PAIRS OF SCHOOL SOCKS TO THE SCHOOL OF ST JUDE
John Tunnicliff, Gemma and kindergarten children at St Jude's when John made the
first delivery of socks in July 2007. On 11 September 2007 John reported as follows:
The Rotary Club of Parkwood has donated 1000 pairs of school socks to the School of St. Jude, Tanzania. The club extends it's thanks to the management of Queensland Hosiery Mill at Carrara, who not only supplied the socks at a special price, but also donated 300 pairs of almost perfect seconds sport socks. These will all be sent by container from Brisbane next week, along with donated computers and other goods which have been supplied by others for the school. Supply of socks has been an ongoing problem at the school for years as there is no factory in Tanzania supplying school socks. As Gemma said when I visited the school recently "It has got to the stage where many of the children have more hole than sock in their socks"
