WHAT DO WE DO ?
The public perception of Rotarians rattling tins to collect money for charity is somewhat oversimplified and far from the truth !. Yes Rotarians do raise money for local and international projects but they also provide much more in terms of providing assistance to the local community and also having a very active social life within the club. It is true to say that anybody joining Rotary will have the opportinity to widen their circle of friends and to take part in many social activities.
