President Joan's Page

I took up my Presidency of the Club in July taking over from President Wilf which is going to be a hard act to follow, but I intend to give it my best shot. 

I am looking forward to my year in office when I will be assisted by Wilf Bailey, who has agreed to stay on to help.

Already this year the Club has raised some £4,500 from our annual Charity Golf Day, £3,000 from our Magical Comedy Evening and over £2,600 from our Santa Sleigh Christmas collections.  In October we again organised the Cental Lancashire component of Wrap Up Lancashire providing warm winter coats for those in need and collected nearly 1,000!  In December working with Galloways a very successful Carol Concert was held. In the coming months I am looking forward to  the U12's Football Competition for 2024, as well as other fund raising projects. In particular, in my Presidential year I will be focusing on promoting Rotary and attracting new members. I also intend to build on the good work of previous Presidents in encouraging working with other local Rotary Clubs to support local charities.

All in all a busy schedule for the year ahead thanks to the hard work, enthusiasm and support of Club members.

Preston South Rotary continues to be vibrant and active Club. The Club works hard but has fun!  Just look at our Sporting record in the Rotary District Sports competitions!
