Shaftesbury Rotary Club - Charity begins at home and within the comunitiy

Member Testimonial

“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”

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

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

Well it’s been a month like no other. With everyone settling in to the lock-down routine, we looked to technology to continue working. We held our first Virtual meeting for the whole of Shaftesbury Rotary Club. We also held a Virtual AGM meeting. Stay safe and Thank You essential workers!

March

May 1, 2020 by Shaftesbury RC

March began with a talk on the Charity Horatio’s Garden as well as Mock interviews at Shaftesbury School. Mid-month, as the Covid-19 pandemic progressed, the tough decision to cancel Monday meetings and events was made so as to protect our members and the community. Shortly after this, the government announced the lock down rules we are all now familiar with. We held our Club Council by Zoom on 23rd Mar and at the meeting made the decision to have Rotary Club meetings by Zoom every two weeks for all members. Stay Safe.

February

It may be the shortest month but February had some very interesting events. We learnt about code breaking in WW2 and there were a lot of developments for our cycle event. We heard new ways to reach more people through social media and found a new sponsor for the Ride. February was rounded off as we learnt more about the HOPE projects.

January

As always, January started quite slowly as our hosts at the Fleur de Lys took their well-earned annual holiday. Our first event of the year was a Casino evening in aid of the Sepsis trust. We also had the monthly business meeting and a speaker evening with Paul Slimm about his upcoming adventure at sea!
