☐ POST COMMENT

HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Reference
In the year 2005 – 2006 Rotary International celebrated 100 years of service to the community, locally, nationally and internationally. To mark this special occasion it was decided that Rotarians in the UK and Ireland would commission a special rose to be planted locally for the benefit of all. The rose was bred by James Cocker and Sons in Aberdeen, who are one of the foremost rose breeders in the world and are also proud to be Royal Warrant Holders.
They produced a hybrid tea rose with dusky peach petals of outstanding beauty and colour, with a delicate perfume and excellent resistance to pests and disease. The plant is bushy and upright with an abundance of large, dark green and glossy leaves. Since being bred the rose has gained international recognition winning the Gold Medal and Prize of the City of Belfast.
The naming of the rose was the subject of a national Rotary competition and after much deliberation by a panel of four judges; the rose was named ‘Heart of Gold’.
For every ‘Heart of Gold’ rose bush sold at the time James Cocker & Sons donated £1.50 to our own charity, The Rotary International Foundation, eventually reaching a staggering £25,000.
