Business Meeting

Thu, Aug 25th 2016 at 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Club meeting focused on business progress and plans


At last week's meeting of the Rotary Club it was with much sadness that President Jim Walker anounced the death of Harald Willner peacefully at home in Effingham, Kingston-upon-Thames, Surrey during the night of 21st/22nd August.  Harald, a retired businessman, had a holiday flat in High Street, Hawick, and for the past 10 years had been a regular visitor at the club.  He was a member of Kingston-upon-Thames Rotary Club and was very honoured last year when he was made an honorary member of the Hawick Club.  The evening took the form of a business meeting when relevant and current matters were discussed.  Linden Warburton, International Convenor anounced that two schemes, one for £250 and the other for £200 were in place in Malawi, Africa in the macro-finance scheme for two women's businesses selling beads and groceries which helped them to support their families.  Gus Neilson, Foundation reported that support was being given to a hospice along with Grahamstown Rotary Club, South Africa.
