Holding Hands 4 Heroes

On the 12th September 2010 The Rotary Club of Elgin organised the joining of 5000 pairs of hands in a human chain to honour members of the Armed Forces. This was a physical and symbolic linking of hands and communities which conveyed support and appreciation to our serving men and woman in a unique way. Thank you to all those who took part and to those helpers and organisation that made it possible.
