Clive's Thoughts for the month

Kingsbridge Rotary President’s Monthly
Report for August/September
The month started with a very successful Swimathon which we held
at the Thurlestone Hotel luxury outdoor pool in aid of St Luke’s
Hospice. A number of swimmers swam superb distances and several
members brought their families to enjoy the pool and help to raise a
total of over £1300. Even District Governor Darren Hands and Mel
were involved. Thanks was given to The Thurlestone Hotel for hosting
the event.
Attracting new members to the Club is one of the aims for this year
and we have two potential members attending the meetings at the
present time. We are also looking to holding social informative
meetings in outlying villages to encourage people to know more
about Rotary and we have members looking in the Chillington area
for a suitable venue.
With the terrible weather conditions in Nepal and continued warring
in the world we must be on alert in case we are called upon to raise
much needed emergency funds, possibly via Shelterbox.
We are also preparing a programme for collecting at the end of the
year with funds in aid of local causes
