President Jim Walker welcomed a special guest to last week's meeting of the Rotary club, Gale Willner, wife of the late Harald Willner, Paul Harris Fellow and Honorary member of the Hawick club and member of Kingston-upon-Thames Rotary Club, who sadly died recently, attended the meeting and thanked the members for their thoughts and condolences. She said he thoroughly enjoyed his visits to the Hawick Club and President Jim thanked her and said she was most welcome at the club in the future when she came to Hawick to their holiday flat.
Club members will be involved this weekend in planting 5,000 purple crocuses at the Homebase roundabout on the A7 on the north side of the town so that when they bloom in the Spring people will be reminded of the Rotary International project 'End Polio Now' which seeks to eradicate polio world-wide.
