5 July 2018   Be the Inspiration – District Governor Cheryle Berry MBE

Club were treated to a very balanced and inspiring presentation by the new District Governor Cheryle. She mentioned her visit to San Diego with 530 other Club Presidents with this year’s theme of “Be the Inspiration”.

She pondered the question: What would the World be without Rotary? In a much poorer situation, as it is human nature to expect “others” to do ‘things’…but they don’t!

Rotary has a legacy of Service, with 5 fundamental pillars: 1.Membership (both recruitment and retention)            2. Inspiring the next generation         3. Humanitarian Service         4. Raise the profile of Rotary 5. Say “Well done” via various awards

She talked a little about her own patch in Clay Cross, a challenged area, but one that she is very proud of (Those who have least often give the most generously) Personally she has worked with destitute children in India for the last 8 years and is currently trying to raise £17k for a building, equipment and training with District 3211 in Kerala.  She has run 15 London marathons and one in New York raising money and plans to do The Robin Hood half marathon in September to raise funds for Maggie’s Centre.  She has worked with St. John’s Ambulance for some years and has a project to put First Aiders on every street corner in collaboration with other organisations like paramedics with The Community Save a Life Scheme. It is in the process of being produced by The Virtual College, an on-line learning system, already with 3 million learners.  It’s due to be launched in October and will be a free app for the mobile phone and we were given a PowerPoint presentation indicating how the system worked with a Theory module, a game and an assessment.

She congratulated our Club with the first Rota Kids team to be formed within the District and requested that we promote her vision in The Community Save a Life Scheme.        AR
