Today we had a very interesting talk by Phillippa Parker about George Bernard Shaw, his wife, and friends they had in Hertfordshire. President Gary presented Phillippa with a cheque for £250 for her charity Beds and Herts Historical Churches Trust.
DetailsMy personal welcome to you as you find out about the
work being done by The Rotary Club of Baldock.
It is a great pleasure, and honour to become President of our Club.. The 12 months ahead will be challenging but with the team behind me, I am confident that I can move the club forward and continue the good work of my predecessors.
Rotary is one of the largest voluntary organisations in the world which is committed to do good locally, nationally,and internationally
In 1984 Rotary became a major partner in the Global Polio Eradication initiative along with other major players including the WHO and Unicef. Our Club will continue to support this objective.
We are always ready to spring into action whenever there is a crisis anywhere in the world. Rotary is in a unique position to make sure that aid gets to the right place as we can call upon Rotary Clubs worldwide who will have a good local knowledge of what and where it is needed. It is thanks to local supermarkets and Baldock Motorway Services who gave us permission to hold collections and the generosity of the public that helped to raise funds.
As part of the annual Baldock Festival, we held the long anticipated Open Gardens event in May. This along with Santas Sleigh, are major fund raising events and without the support of the local community it would be hard to continue donating to charitable causes.
We are well known for the Christmas Lights in Baldock that the Rotary Club have been putting up since 1978 and an ongoing project is the planting of Rotary Wood 2 at Ivel Springs just off Norton Road. Our thanks go to the support from Knights Templar School pupils and the general public with the clearing of the site and planting of trees, but more still needs to be done.
The future success of the Club cetres around attracting new members. If you feel that you can give something back' to the local community we would be pleased to hear from you.
We put a lot of hard work into planning fund raising events. It is rewarding by making it fun and establishing long lasting friendships.
