A welcome from our President |
|
It is a great honour and pleasure to have been elected President of such an active Rotary club as Exe Valley and to take over the reigns for 2020-21. I acknowledge my predecessor's success in leading the club over the last year and in adapting us so quickly to the Covid pandemic, to lockdown, and to the need to completely change our format so that we now have virtual video "meetings" while awaiting the ability to resume our normal Wednesday evening meetings at the Hartnoll Inn.
With nearly fifty members we are one of the largest local clubs and are renowned for the fellowship and friendliness of our members.
In recent years we have been able to raise significant monies for charity through our popular Uffculme Show and other events and it is most unfortunate but had to cancel our events for 2020 due to the pandemic (as have many other organisations).
This coming year has one certainty, that is "containing uncertainty" (of what we will able to do, and when), so we must look to work differently to pursue the aims of Rotary and to raise money and support our local community and charities.
If you may be interested in finding out more about Exe Valley Rotary, or attending as a guest, do contact me at evrcpresident@icloud.com. Youu will be very welcome.
Yours in Rotary
Dr David Jenner
