Weekly meeting 01 August 2016
On Monday 01 August, 25 members sat down to lunch, plus six welcome guests from the Rotary Club of Hythe. John Morris reported that he had accomplished his cycling tour of Romney Marsh, raising almost £300 for Kent Young Carers, which will go towards giving two young carers a weekend’s respite from their duties on board the Rotary sponsored ‘Cambria’, Thames sailing barge.
Patrick Brown, the Almoner, gave a report on three members and noted Lew Harris will be going for an assessment tomorrow. The President, Paul Robbins, said he had spoken with Celia Harris, Lew’s wife, and she had said how impressed she was with Patrick: “a most wonderful, caring and compassionate person” to quote her words.
The 200 club draw had three winners: Mary Shorton, Peter Rothschild and R. Ebdon, whilst the wine draw was won by Pat Heath, who naturally donated his bottle to the Hospital Fête.
Vice-President David Lister reported the success of the garden party on Sunday, to celebrate his marriage with Liz, with some 80 people attending. He was particularly impressed with Bethany, a girl from the Goodwin Academy, who was a tremendous help. She wants to raise money to finance her trip to India, and a quick whip-round raised £140. The club is also considering requests for support from other students undertaking the same venture, but, would requite to know what individual efforts are being made by them to raise funds on their own behalf.
David Lister also mentioned the recent District Newsletter, which contained the heartening news that Rotary, together with other agencies and in particular the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, has almost eliminated the scourge of polio worldwide.
David Harding concluded the meeting by warning that, if we go again to Betteshanger Country Park, there is car parking 24/7 for all, including blue badge holders. He had been a victim at our recent charity cycle ride, but fortunately the fine had been cancelled on appeal.
Upcoming events are a visit to Deal Castle on Thursday 04 August, and the annual Deal Hospital Fête on Saturday 06 August, for which more manpower is needed. If you can help, contact the President.
