Well known local auctioneer, Barbara Kirk, was presented with her Penzance Rotary membership certificate and lapel pin, by President Nigel Clark, when members gathered for a social lunch in February (2025).
Barbara Kirk, a well-known auctioneer in Penzance, has long been a respected figure in the local community — not only for her professional expertise, but also for her generous spirit and commitment to service.
Before officially joining the Penzance Rotary Club, Barbara was already a cherished friend of the club, lending her time and talent to support its fundraising efforts. Her skill in valuing donated items for the Penzance Rotary Shop proved invaluable, helping to maximise proceeds for charitable causes and strengthening the club’s connection with the wider community.
Barbara later became a full member of the club, bringing with her a wealth of experience, warmth, and enthusiasm. Her involvement added a new dimension to club life, and she quickly became known for her thoughtful contributions and unwavering support of Rotary’s mission.
