Friends Programme, December 2007


At the December Friend’s meeting we were very pleased to welcome back Douglas James who spoke to us in June 2006 on Edwina – Countess Mountbatten of Burma. Douglas spoke on this occasion on “The Paranormal”. The talk was full of co-incidences and whether one believed or not in the Paranormal the talk was very well presented and informative.

For the January Friend’s meeting we are very pleased to welcome our own Rotary District 1090 Ambassadorial Scholar, Lisa Morris, who will speak on her project in South Africa. Lisa is 31, single, from the North East and is currently a Project Manager at the Thames Valley University. She will explain why she thinks she was awarded the Scholarship, her project in South Africa as well her previous work in Uganda and Rwanda. It should be a very interesting talk and an opportunity to hear our own 1090 Ambassadorial Scholar
