Official Club Visits with Chicken dinner since July
1 9 !!
Just the one club visit this week, but more than that to
report……
A rare engagement-free day on Monday was followed on
Tuesday by a visit to the now 61 year old RC Beaconsfield. Very pleasant evening led by President Henry
who declined the club’s suggestion of applying to be District Governor in
2016-2017! Valuable discussion on productive
use of the internet as a tool for publicity and recruitment.
Another rare event on Wednesday – a visit to my own
club! Extremely glad to be back with my
fellow club members for the evening.
Paul Desai spoke to us about his work with educationally disadvantaged young
people around the Hammersmith area. Nice
to have someone else doing the talking!
Friday, Saturday & Sunday were spent at Horwood
House, near Milton Keynes, for the Rotary Foundation Seminar & Institute for
Great Britain & Ireland. Good to
spend time with some of my fellow District Governors in these islands and those
who will succeed us, together with an impressively committed group of
enthusiastic Rotarians dedicated to making the lives of others better – a great
way to spend a few days. Much of the discussion was about how we make Rotary more relevant to ensure that we can attract those who will take the movement forward through our second century.
We were also delighted to hear UK Secretary of State for International Justine Greening (no relation!) say that as a fellow Rotarian (RC Putney) she was proud to announce the immediate release of £100 million to help with the eradciation of Polio.
