Introduction
There are five Rotary Clubs in our city. They meet weekly, one over breakfast, two over lunch and two in the evening. I belong to one of the lunch clubs. Most of our members are retired, which is why they can come to lunchtime meetings. The Club was founded in 1927.
We have both male and female members. Our lunchtime meetings enable us to enjoy a good meal and fellowship with one another. We have visiting speakers most weeks, mainly from local charities. Occasionally one of our own members will give a talk. The first meeting each month is a “business meeting” where the President and Council Members give their reports. The rest of us all do our parts in running the various Club events and projects. I am the Club’s Primary Webmaster, Bulletin Editor and Attendance Officer.
We work closely with the other four local Rotary Clubs. Each year our Club organises the local heat of the RIBI Young Musician competition and runs events for senior citizens. We provide one of our local charities for homeless people with financial support.
