Jean George
With sadness I must advise that PDG Ross George's wife, Jean, passed  away on the 10th August at Mary Potter Hospice.  Judy Bain has said  "Jean was a wonderful woman and so supportive of Ross, their family and Rotary AND me as first woman Governor. She will be missed by many"
The District thoughts and condolences are with the George family at this time.>

Go Wild about Club Membership and Development
The essence of Rotary is our Clubs that provide us with the opportunity to do good in the community. A key focus and area of planning is our own Club Development and Membership. What does that mean?
 
Our clubs maintain, sustain and gain their membership by understanding the profile of their club, its membership, siccession of roles in the club and a vision of where the club future is.
