Making Up & Meeting a Fellow DGN!

Visiting the Rotary Club of Vashon Island (Washington State, USA) this morning, delighted to find that the speaker was my fellow DGN, Ezra Teshome from District 5030. Ezra talked of the tremendous work that 5030 has been doing in providing wells for 28 villages in Erza's native Ethiopia. Vashon Rotary are separately working for clean water in Guatemala and are sponsoring climbers on a Mount Rainier climb in August.

Forward Planning - for 2014?

Amazing how far ahead you have to plan these days - we've just had a first get together for our Conference Committe for 2014 - yes, nearly three years away - great bunch of people - looking forward to working with all of them - and thanks to Chairman Jean for hosting us all - what a star!

Gobsmacked!

I suspect I'm one of many Rotarians for whom the award of a Paul Harris Fellowship comes as a complete surprise, little short of a shock as a matter of fact. A particular honour coming from my fellow club members for which I feel undeserving -now all I have to do is live up to it! Many thanks to all the members of RC Elthorne-Hillingdon for recognising me in this way.
