45 years Charter Night
Langley
and Iver Rotary Club celebrated 45 years of community support and
charitable fundraising on Saturday 14th October with a Charter Night
Dinner at the venue which is used each week for meetings, The Pinewood
Hotel.
The club this year is focussing its
fundraising on ‘Purple for Polio’, which aims to eradicate polio in the
world and has secured double-match funding from the Bill Gates
Foundation. This was emphasised at the meeting but it is also raising
funds for Prostate Cancer, the Busoga Trust (a sustainable water
initiative in Uganda) and, nearer to home for the Thames Valley
Hospice.
Setting aside their party political
differences for the evening, the convivial cross-boundary event was
attended by Cllr. Ishrat Shah, Mayor of Slough, David Pepler, Vice Chair
of South Bucks District Council each of whom gave a short address and
Diana Coad, Cllr for the local Langley St Mary’s ward who was the
keynote speaker. Diana gave an excellent talk about her very full and
varied life experiences.
There were many
guests and Friends of Rotary who also attended the occasion. The
atmosphere was very congenial with the room decorated lavishly with many
balloons. Many thanks are due to Graham, Liz, and Meenu for arranging
the event and also to the hotel for seamlessly dealing with unexpected
late amendments.
