Support for local High School pupils
Thu, Oct 6th 2016 at 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Club meeting with guest speakers
The emphasis was on youth at last week's
meeting of the Rotary Club when President Jim Walker welcomed three young ladies
who had been supported by the club. Klaudia Salamonska, a High School
Senior pupil attended Rotary's Youth Leadership Camp at Ardeonaig,
Perthshire. Delivering an illustrated talk she explained the week's
comprehensive activities which included raft building and sailing, rope climbing
and abseiling, mountain climbing and canoe river trip. The course, all
girls from all over Scotland, was very enjoyable and useful in a developmental
way as it involved preparing and delivering lectures and group
discussions. President Jim presented her with her certificate of
attendance. Ron Sutherland gave the club's vote of thanks.
The other speaker was Eilidh Page, also a High School senior pupil, who, with others, made a one-day visit to London on a whistle-stop tour of the sights including the Houses of Parliament where they met the local MP Callum Kerr. They also checked-out some of the other sights during a hectic day before travelling home. She was accompanied by Pam Rigby, Youth Learning, Borders Regional Council and Rotary helped finance the trip. Kerr Scott gave the vote of thanks.
Hawick had entries in the Rotary
Young Artist competition and also supported the Silver Sunday event on Sunday
afternoon in the Evergreen Hall.
