CHANGE OF PRESIDENT
It's the start of a new Rotary Year, and with it comes a change of President. After a very successful, full and active year, Sue Hoey steps down and hands over to Alan Hopkins (who was president way back in 1999).
£870 RAISED FOR END POLIO NOW
What a fabulous quiz night we had last night the 14th June! Over 100 people came and supported our charity quiz raising funds for the End Polio Now campaign. The Bill Gates foundation will now put in £2 for every £1 we raised, bringing the total to staggering £2,610. Thank you so much to all who attended.
£378 RAISED FOR SAFE ANAESTHESIA
On Sunday 12th May, the International Committee held a fund raising event at the home of renowned pianist, David Willison. David, himself a former Rotarian, gave a recital to around twenty four music enthusiasts many of whom were Rotarians. The recital included music by Haydn, Schubert, Schumann, Chopin and Rachmaninoff. In the interval there were canapés and sparkling wine.
David's explanation of the music and the composers was educative and illuminating adding more depth to a wonderful afternoon of superb piano playing.
The recital raised £378 towards anaesthesia kits.
THREE NEW PAUL HARRIS FELLOWS
It was with great pleasure that President Sue Hoey awarded 3 prestigious Paul Harris Fellowships to members of the Club in honour of their long and outstanding contribution to Rotary over many years. The new Fellows are Jim Young, Alan Hopkins and Ted Wilcox, who are all pictured with Sue. Well done to them all!.
