Lunch time meeting - Christmas message

On Thursday 19^th December 2019 President Ewen Macdonald welcomed 20 Club Rotarians, and 8 guests including Father Kevin Dow to this our lunch time meeting, which was held at the Gilvenbank Hotel, Glenrothes. 

On reception, this week was Geoff Sampson with President Ewen Macdonald saying grace.

Two raffles were held prior to the meal, the Bill Wooton Christmas raffle which raised £75 for future good causes and Brian Johnson Christmas cake raffle with £50 going towards the Salvation Army.

Geoff Sampson thanked and gave a big well done to the Rotarians who arranged collections of Foodstuffs over the past 2 weeks from the Rotarians, Neighbours and friends to support the Foodbank in Glenrothes hopefully the collection of 264 kilos goes someway to supporting those who are in need of support at this time. A huge thank you to all who gave so generously.

The Club held their annual Christmas lunch with a great meal at the Gilvenbank Hotel. Father Kevin Dow, Parish Priest of St John & St Columba’s in Rosyth, gave the Christmas message but was also along to collect a cheque on behalf of the Black Watch Cadets who had supported the Santa Collection, A presentation was also made to Ellie and Lewis on behalf of the staff at Gilvenbank for all their support and good service during the year.
