7 Visiting Rotarians from Rotary Club of Hythe: (Ian Bell, Colin Hill, Simon Johnson (President), Roger Hill, Joe Moran, Peter Simmonds & John Wentworth-Foster.)
Monday was a full and interesting meeting with 29 members and 7 visiting Rotarians from Hythe making it a rousing success. Within the Hythe contingent were the President, Vice President and second Vice President; very auspicious company! Hythe with whom we are facilitating a Grant for work in Uganda reported that there are now sufficient funds to apply for a Global grant from the Rotary Foundation and this will proceed.
Last week was a Scatter week and President Barry Baxter and many Rotarians visited the Rotary Clubs of Sandwich, Canterbury, South Foreland, Herne Bay, Folkestone Channel and Dover. All reported very warm welcomes and camaraderie.
We received a letter of thanks for our contribution to the Victoria Hospital Fete from Maureen Bane MBE and thanks were also given at a recent meeting to ourselves and The Inner Wheel.
Michel Dourthe is organising the planting of crocuses next month and is hoping to have schoolchildren and Rotarians to do the planting to commemorate Rotary Day.
Due to the humanitarian refugee crisis, Alison Munn is organising runs of clothes, toiletries, sleeping bags etc. to Calais a nd said all help and required items are welcome.
The two hundred club draw was won by Miss S Whale.
