Shaftesbury Rotary Club

Member Testimonial

“I was attracted to Rotary’s international reputation and the twinning with the Dutch rotary club of Heerlen”

“The opportunity of putting something no matter how small back into the community that we live in and enjoy the company of like-minded people”

“My wife and I were very impressed with Rotary’s work in eradicating Polio and the fact that Bill Gates (Microsoft Founder) was prepared to donate millions of US dollars and put his trust in Rotary”

“I particularly warmed to the understanding that Rotarians recognised the priority of family, business and then Rotary in that order”

“This was a unique opportunity in a small town to join a worldwide club and enjoy the company of Rotarians from so many different backgrounds”
