Lisieux 2024
Members of Taunton Rotary Club along with partners, once again hosted their long-time sister Club in Lisieux, re-igniting old friendships and strengthening relationships between our two Clubs.
Partnership links with our sister Club in Lisieux, Normandy are long-standing and over the years many exchange visits by Rotarians with their wives and partners has forged a strong bond of friendship and understanding which has endured.
In June 2024 Rotarians from the Lisieux Club visited Taunton and were hosted and entertained by the Club's members. A programme of visits and activities took place which set the scene for building new friendships and renewing others which had endured for many years. Friends re-united, friends remembered and most importantly time spent together will trigger memories that we will cherish for evermore.
In the past the two Clubs have jointly sponsored international projects most recently to fund the education of two girls in Nepal through the Taunton based charity Himalayan Children.
This close partnership between our 2 clubs is made possible by a shared commitment to the aims of Rotary, respect for each other’s culture and an atmosphere of fun and friendship, which we hope will be maintained long into the future!
