Board Meeting;
The Board Meeting this evening will be held at Jean Sawyer’s house at 26 Kite Farm CT5 2PB starting at 7.30 pm.
John Graham:
John sent his thanks for the flowers and card from the Club. He is doing well and improving all the time. He cannot come back until he can drive again which he hopes will be in the next month or so.
Raffle Prizes:
More raffle prizes are needed.
Rotary Magazine:
The Rotary Magazine was circulated to members today. It would be helpful if everyone could take their copies with them after meetings. Apparently, the Club is one of a select band chosen to receive the magazines as being ‘actively engaged in membership development activities’. The letter from Rotary that accompanied the delivery of the magazines stresses that they are not intended for club members but for sharing with the public and it is suggested that they are distributed locally in suitable locations such as doctors, dentists, libraries and community centres.
Gift Aid:
David M. reported that gift aid for £3,880.10 has now been received.
