ROTARY CLUB BOOST FOR THE BIG SMILE APPEAL ARCHWAY'S Big Smile Appeal is a bit closer to its target after a generous donation from the Rotary Club of Aberdeen Deeside. The local charity, which supports over 220 children and adults with learning disabilities, is aiming to raise £35,000 to build a snoozelen (multi sensory room) and activity room at its Garthdee unit. The Rotary Club of Aberdeen Deeside, the newest in the city, donated £400 to the appeal after the convener of its community committee, John Adams, paid a visit to the unit to find out more about it. "I was very impressed with what I saw at Archway and was delighted we were able to help," said Mr Adams. Although a relatively new club, the 33 members of the Rotary Club of Aberdeen Deeside have already raised several thousands of pounds for local charities, with more fundraising activities lined up. Mr Adams was also optimistic that the club would continue to support Archway in the future: "Now we know what Archway does I hope the Rotary Club of Aberdeen Deeside will enjoy a long association with the Archway charity helping in its caring role." YOU CAN SUPPORT THE BIG SMILE APPEAL TOO Over £10,000 have been raised so far. You can help Archway by making a donation (send a cheque to the Archway Big Smile Appeal, 71 Westburn Road, Aberdeen AB25 2SH).
