The Rotary Club held a business meeting last week when President Jim Walker read out a letter of thanks from Hawick Community Pump Track for a donation of £150 and an award of £50 was also made to the Children's Book Award. A donation of £100 was made to the Scottish Borders Youth Brass Band towards the cost of their trip to Ostend for the European Finals of the Brass Band Competition which is for youngsters from 11 to 18 years of age and includes several Hawick participants. Foundation Convenor Gus Neilson has raised £553 in the weekly Rotary draw and this will go to the End Polio Now project. Linden Warburton reported that the International Committee continues with its Micro Finance Scheme and has granted four loans abroad for £750 and two previous loans to farmers in Malawi have been repaid in full.
