Welcome
Club Number 1376
Rotary District 1190
A greeting from our president
Rotarian Roger Jacobs
As my year as President started I wondered what I had let myself in for. The answer soon became clear. Strong team leaders are taking new Rotarians under their wings and showing them how to run projects; a new group, the “Slash and Strim Club", has been formed; last year’s recruitment drive is still ongoing and the saga of the pink ice cream van driver is now into chapter two (he is also our membership officer, a good choice I think).
In addition to international projects this year’s progamme includes many local events which I hope will raise the profile of our club within our community. The Yomp team is also talking about ways to reinvent our major fund raiser.
Another innovation this year is our Charter Night dinner which will be with partners at a new venue.
As I stand and look at our members on club night and say "Good evening gentlemen" I know that no president could want for a better bunch of Rotarians who strive to achieve so much and at the same time dig deep into the well of humour.
President Rocky
