8 March 2018          Rotary in Bermuda Stella Herbert

Stella, President of Sherwood Forest and Assistant District Secretary, joined us to give us an illuminating and hugely entertaining talk on Bermuda, an island where she has family links and which she has visited for over thirty years. She started by giving us an Alan Whicker style travelogue of the Atlantic island, 60 000 population, 26 miles long and 1.5 miles wide. She warmed the cockles of our hearts as we listened to tales of summer warmth on a cold March evening, but she went on to talk specifically about the Rotary Clubs on the island. It was heartening to remind ourselves that Rotary is not just about our bubble here in the Vale of Belvoir or even District 1220, but we are part of a global organisation united in our vision of making the world a better place. So many of the activities and initiatives of the Clubs in Bermuda closely mirror our own, and reminded us that we are all one Rotary family.    CH
