INNER WHEEL NEWS
October 2007
Jacqui Butcher writes . . . Members were wearing pink for the Breast Cancer
Campaign when President Hilary opened our meeting. She began by welcoming District
Chairman Linda Bobby; she then referred to the previous weekend when several
members had accompanied the Rotarians to Wells, where wonderful fellowship was
enjoyed by all. Moya was thanked for organizing the Chinese meal at Hyns; and
also the Indian meal at Rajwoog, all of which, I understand, was much enjoyed.
Arrangements for the Christmas lunch are well in hand. This will take
place on Wednesday, 12th December, 12.30 for 1 p.m. at Mill Ride Golf Club. The
cost will be £20 for a two-course meal, and will include mulled wine on
arrival.
On Inner Wheel Day, Thursday, 10th January, at 12.30 p.m., members are
invited to a ‘frugal lunch’ at the home of Jane Short. Money raised will go to
‘Mercy Ships’.
Our Birthday Lunch next year will be held at Carnation Hall on Friday,
7th March. More details later, but please book the date now.
The next District Meeting, which takes place at Benson, will be on
Tuesday, 20th November. We have been asked to act as hostesses. Would any member who wishes to volunteer, please contact Sue Price.
Members were asked to continue donating toiletries for Kosovo, but
please keep clothing, etc, until the spring when the next convoy will be
leaving.
Anne Sherman and Barbara Reece were thanked for hosting the recent
Macmillan Coffee Morning which raised the grand sum of
£522.50 – a superb effort. Anne Jones was also thanked for organizing last
month’s walk.
Linda Bobby then spoke to us about Inner Wheel and her role in it. Her
motto this year is ‘Live for Today’ and her charity is the Arthritis Research
Campaign. She was impressed by the fact that we have such a vibrant club, and
with such a close relationship with our Rotary Club – which we are pleased to
continue. Hilary then presented her with a crystal vase and a cheque for £200
for her charity.
