THE ROTARY club of Lunesdale and Booths in Kirkby Lonsdale raised over £2,000 together for Children in Need.
Members of the Rotary Club of Lunesdale were 'pleased and proud' to join with Booths store in Kirkby Lonsdale to support the annual nationwide appeal for Children In Need.
During the week, before the national appeal on Friday, Alison Avery and Katy Parker and their store colleagues organised bake cakes at home and a cake sale within the store.
This was a 'great success', raising £500 in addition with the £500 raised at the cash-outs from customers within the store within the store on Friday.
Meanwhile outside the store for the whole day, members of the Rotary Club greeted customers.
The collection buckets became progressively heavier and by the end of the day the Rotary Club members collected £1,006.
