Rotary in the News:
A new Rotary year, a new President of RIBI:
The new president of Rotary International in Great Britain and Ireland has vowed to lead it into a new era and drive major changes forward to secure it as the largest humanitarian not-for-profit organisation in the UK and Ireland.
Ian Thomson, who was inaugurated as president of the humanitarian organisation on Saturday 28th June at the Four Pillars Hotel in Cirencester, aims to show that Rotary International in Great Britain and Ireland is still as relevant today to business people and community leaders as it was when the first UK club opened in 1911.
The former engineer, originally from Fife in Scotland and now living in Cheltenham Spa, will lead 56,000 Rotarians in 1,845 clubs across Great Britain and Ireland who commit themselves to carrying out humanitarian work in communities at home and abroad. read more...
