The festive season – more or less!
The end of the year in Rotary is always a busy time. It is a time when Rotarians are busy at work but also are expected to be busy in Rotary.
The small Tower Hamlets Club club members were stretched. Members took part in District events starting in November with the televised Lord Mayor’s Show and the televised Remembrance Day Parade followed in December with the Christmas Collections for Charity at Tower Hill U/G station raising £600 from generous City workers.
A really nice and well attended Christmas Dinner took place at the Tower Thistle Carvery with halal food for those who wanted it. Tony’s secretary Hana who has been a willing helper to the club joined us at the event.
New Year’s Day saw yet more club members on parade in the New Year’s Day Parade publicising Rotary to the general public. Then on January 18th the club sponsored a party of local pensioners to attend the Stratford East Pantomime of Pinnochio. Shortly afterwads we delivered a consignment of cosmetics to the Whitechapel Mission who do such wonderful work with the East End street people. Many of their clients have skin issues and they will make good use of the many products we were able to supply.
We are now looking forward to introducing some new members into the club.
Well done everyone – keep up the steam!
