John Graham:

            John sent his thanks for the flowers and card from the Club.   He is doing       well and improving all the time.     He cannot come back until he can drive         again which he hopes will be in the next month or so.

Raffle Prizes:

            More raffle prizes are needed.

Rotary Magazine:

            The Rotary Magazine was circulated to members today.    It would be             helpful if everyone could take their copies with them after meetings.           Apparently, the Club is one of a select band chosen to receive the     magazines as being ‘actively engaged in membership development      activities’. The letter from Rotary that accompanied the delivery of the           magazines stresses that they are not intended for club members but for           sharing with the public and it is suggested that they are             distributed             locally in suitable locations such as doctors, dentists, libraries and      community centres.

Gift Aid:

            David M. reported that gift aid for £3,880.10 has now been received.
