Our meetings are held weekly in the evenings on a Monday night at the Edenbank Hotel, Dumfries and involve a range of club visits, interesting speakers and good fellowship. Check our calender for forthcoming meetings.
Service to the community requires our Rotarians to devote their time, energy and professional skills to particular projects. This often involves fundraising to provide charities with financial support but this is not our Clubs first aim. Our emphasis is on personal service.
Recent club news: Devorgilla will be hosting a pop up shop in the Loreburn Centre in November. Look out for more information soon.
