Swanage Rotary Celebrates!
On a mild March evening, we celebrated past achievements and recognized the passing of a true pillar of the community
An evening of celebration was held by Swanage and Purbeck Rotary to thank everyone who helped it raise more than £33,000 for charity in 2024, as well as recognising the contribution from members of the community.
The event took place at The Swanage School with invited guests from Swanage and Purbeck businesses, clubs and organisations, and we were delighted to welcome Swanage Town Mayor Tina Foster as guest of honour.
As well as celebrating, the evening was tinged with sadness at the recent passing of Sue Whitton, truly a pillar of the local community for many years and a dedicated Rotarian.
The slideshow presented on the night is available here and you can read full details of the evening on Swanage News here.
