Penzance Rotary Club Serving Communities

  

  
Rotarians care about communities and today a delegation of Penzance Rotarians
   
attended Pengarth Day Care Centre to see at first hand the invaluable service 
   
that the centre provides for the elderly people of Penzance and West Penwith. 
   
The Rotary Club's recent Vintage & Classic Car Rally on Penzance Promenade 
   
raised funds for Penlee RNLI and for Pengarth Day Centre and the Club 
   
supplemented these finds with further monies raised through 
   
The Rotary Shop to enable the presentation of £600 to 
   
Pengarth Day Centre Trustee, Mr Eric Parton.

Have you considered joining Rotary?  You will make lifelong friends and at the same time you will help us to make a difference in communities near and far. We are ordinary people with a track record of achievement. Working together, donating time, skills, experience and fundraising for communities everywhere.

The Rotary Club of Penzance, the most westerly in mainland England & Wales, draws membership from Penzance and West Penwith. The club is always on the look for new members - women or men, working or recently retired, usually with leadership experience from their business or community work.

Rotarians volunteer a little of their time, talents & resources to address community needs. Rotary Clubs mobilise members and with community support reach their goals. New members enjoy new friendships, bring new energy and fresh ideas and help the Club achieve much more.
