Stepping out – the new Rotary year

 Stepping out – the new Rotary year

Llandudno Rotary Club was honoured to receive newly-appointed District Governor Beryl Cotton to the Club, scarcely a week into her Governorship of the District’s 70 Rotary Clubs in North Wales and Merseyside.

Speaking at the Queen’s Hotel Llandudno on 11^th July, Beryl paid tribute to her predecessor Molly Youd and outlined Rotary’s priorities for the year, emphasizing the part that our Club – indeed, any successful Rotary Club – had to play in these, namely:-

• Build on Membership. Rotary has never aimed for mass membership but a Club of 30 can be more effective than the present 19, however dedicated some members may be
• Relentless focus on humanitarian aid – Rotary’s quest to eradicate polio is but one aspect of this; our Club’s links with, and help to, the Ilitha Pre-School project, near Capetown, is another.
• Tell the tale – getting Rotary’s message across breaks down barriers and helps people to identify with what Rotary is trying to do
• Plant 1.2 million trees – one for each Rotary member in the world, as our part in the fight for a better world environment
