DetailsWelcome to a new Rotary Year
Well, here we are again at the start of a new Rotary Year and it's time to welcome our new President, Rotarian John Harris.
John took over his new role at the Clubs' Handover and Past President Evening on Wednesday 5th July. The event, which was held at Monks' Yard, in Ilminster, was a great success which was enjoyed by all who attended.
The highlight of the evening was the presentation of a Paul Harris Fellowship, by outgoing President Dick Arnold, to Dawn Fletcher in recognition of her 32 year involvement with Project Romania. This project, which resulted from a visit to an orphanage in Seica Mare by Dawn and her late husband Andy, has continued to support and develop the orphanage as well as developing lasting friendships with the people of the Comuna Seica Mare.
Dick then handed over the running of the Club to his successor whose first job was to thank Dick for all his hard work over the year before presenting him with his immediate Pats President Jewels and a new SatNav, a thankyou gift from his fellow Rotary members.
New President John finally presented outstanding service badges to those, both Rotarians and non-Rotarians, who had helped with the running of the Covid and Flu vaccination clinics at Chard Guildhall.
