The Rotary Club of Christchurch have produced a postal stamp depicting the damaged Christ Church Cathedral caused by the earthquake at 12.51 on February 22, 2011. The cathedral, built in the late 1800s, is in the centre of Christchurch City. The stamps are sold in a book-let of ten 60c self-adhesive stamps. Each booklet has a $2.00 donation factor that goes towards the Rotary Club of Christchurch Inc Earthquake Appeal.
The booklets are $8.00 each. A limited edition of a First Day cover will also be available on a first come first served basis.

As a member of a Rotary club, you have the opportunity to give something back, to give hope to those less fortunate and to make lives worthwhile and fulfilled.
The enormous sense of achievement you'll experience doing something really worthwhile will be matched only by the enormous amount of fun you'll have! You'll be working, socialising and networking with like-minded people who have the same interests and aims as you - so teamwork is important.
You'll make firm friends as well as worthwhile business contacts; you'll learn valuable new skills and grow as a person; and you'll be sure of a warm welcome from other Rotarians around the world whenever you're on your travels.
As a Rotarian, there's a vast array of things you can get involved in, from organising events and competitions, supporting local charities and developing young people, to assisting with disaster relief and even eradicating diseases such as polio worldwide.
