HAYLE & DISTRICT ROTARY CLUB:

Last Monday at the Club evening meeting everyone was honoured to welcome District Governor Stephen Lay and his wife Carol to meet club members and supporters for a meal and convivial business meeting.  D.G. Stephen congratulated the club on their excellent contribution and varied activities to the Hayle community and District during the past year and was delighted to present Rotarians John Tuplin and George Stone with special Rotarian awards for their outstanding support over many years.  A fitting end to the outstanding summer of fund raising and support of many charitable events within the Hayle & District.

The club are continuing with their support of local organisations this winter by again helping the RBL with their annual Poppy Appeal collection at local

stores ASDA, Co-Op, Lidl and M&S.  Please help to do what the club do best by supporting others in need.  The Rotary motto of "service above

self" has never been more required. 

Two weeks ago local Member of Parliament George Eustice was guest speaker and was superb and generous in his praise of the charitable work done locally and worldwide. Members voted to match fund his generous donation to a local charity.  Sadly, members heard of the bereavement of his father Paul who many members were acquainted with and the Club has sent messages of sympathy to the wider family.

The club have a full program of events and meetings during the winter period and welcome support and interest from everyone who wishes to be part of the

world's largest service organisation.  If you can help please contact David Raymer 01736 755029 or Trevor Osborne 01736 793596.  Members meet at the White Hart Hotel Foundry Square on Mondays at 6.30pm. If you would like to find out more - pop in and have a quick chat.
