To celebrate Rotary’s 111t
h birthday on March 23 our club invited those volunteers who had readily given their time selling raffle tickets to a party. Special Event coordinator Rotarian Alan introduced President Jim who thanked the volunteers without whom there would have been no raffle. He explained the role of Rotary through it’s founders eyes and surmised what characteristics Paul Harris would have had as a modern Rotarian. Most senior person present this morning, Past District Governor John Downing, was asked to cut the cake and everyone sang Happy Birthday to Rotary.

Our love and best wishes to the parents with a child born on this special day.
