Dinner (6.45) and Dr James Playfair, UK trustee for Reaching The Unreached

Mon, Sep 17th 2018 at 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm

Dr James Playfair is a trustee of the UK charity which supports Reaching The Unreached. He has been involved for several years in helping to raise money and awareness for the Indian charity which actually decides upon and provides the support needed.

Reaching The Unreached has been working for more than fifty years to support the very poor and disadvantaged of Tamil Nadu, southern India. It is primarily focused upon children and their needs, from love, to food, to homes, to education, to health, to families in which they can thrive. If the need is apparent to those locally, after talking to the local people, the charity will set about meeting that need - the range is quite extraordinary.

The club is planning a visit to India in January which has several days at RTU as the main focus of the trip. Places are still available and are not limited to Rotarians. If you would like more details, please use the 'Contact Us' button and / or come to meeting, but we would appreciate forewarning for catering purposes.

The Month That Was Jan 26

We took a stand at the Wells Community Day the centre piece of which was a rogue’s gallery with pictures of club members having fun while engaging in activities in support of the community.

Early in the month Adrian Clifford, a long-standing, valued and much respected member of the club, unexpectedly succumbed to a heart attack following recent by-pass surgery. A very sad loss of a member whose presence and many contributions will be missed.

Wells Rotary Club supported the Wells Community Day at the Cathedral on Saturday January 17th.

The many and varied Rotary-supported projects are one of the many differentials between Rotary and the other service organisations in our community.

This year the Santa Fun Run was held on Sunday December the 7th.

With so many seasoned members, it is hard to spring a surprise, however this month we had a very special surprise.

An eclectic mix this month: Lifeboats, Hospice Care and Glass Making.

Defibrillators - have we got any and where are they?

Conscious of the need for rapid access to defibrillators following a coronary event, Wells Rotary has been working to make these life-saving machines available to the public at all times. It is an ongoing project.

Each week a team of listeners goes to St Cuthbert’s Primary School to listen to children read. It is so rewarding to see the positive impact on the children’s reading skills.
