Recognition and Presentations

Well known local auctioneer, Barbara Kirk, was presented with her Penzance Rotary membership certificate and lapel pin, by President Nigel Clark, when members gathered for a social lunch in February (2025).

Barbara, who joined Rotary last summer, shortly before her retirement, is a long time supporter not only of Rotary's work but also of other local voluntary organisations that serve our community. In particular, Barbara has provided invaluable advice and support to the Rotary Shop, Penzance over many years - a commitment for which she was recognised by our colleagues in Mounts Bay Rotary Club with the award of a Paul Harris Fellowship.

For most people, retirement presents an opportunity to devote more time to the things that are important to us, and for some, that means an opportunity to give a little back to our community.

If you are interested in knowing more about the many ways that Penzance Rotary could enable you to 'give a little back' to your community, contact us through this page or via our website at www.penzance.rotary1175.org or email . . .

Their presentations took place at the 10th Birthday celebrations for Rotary Shop volunteers (the shop has no paid staff).

Thank you to the YMCA in Alverton Road for providing a venue for the celebrations, and to the Duke Street Cafe in Newlyn for providing a cream tea for all the volunteers.
