President Peter’s update
The approach to Christmas is a very busy time for many Rotary Clubs as many fund raising events take place.
I am delighted that our Brass & Voice concert at the Parish Church in Wellington was a great success. We tried, new to us, advertising and on-line ticket sales. The result – a larger than expected audience. A brass band and choir wanting to do it again next year, and much needed funds for the Ukrainian Saturday School.
Wellington hosted the Tree of Light envelope preparation at the Pheasant where 27 Rotarians from the four Telford & Wrekin clubs filled over 1,500 envelopes ready for posting to last year’s donors. Over 650 emails were sent to those donors who remembered their loved ones on-line. This is the 30th year of the Telford Tree of Light and we are celebrating it with a Pet’s Page which, if there is a good take up, will become a Pet’s Corner.
The swich on is Thursday 7th November at 4.30 with carols by the Salvation Army band from 4pm.
The club also served burgers and hotdogs to the Scouts and Young Carers who had a fun day at the Wrekin Camp Site. It was too damp to find a site for the planned Archery but the axe throwing, backwoods cooking, blind trail, and key ring making with paracord followed by a campfire sing along kept everyone entertained.
Please don’t be backward coming forward to help if you are able, lets talk Rotary with all we meet and build our membership, fundraising, and fellowship.
If you are non-member reading this and would like to learn more about Rotary in Wellington and around the world please contact us.
Wellington Rotary meets at The Pheasant Inn at Admaston (TF5 0AD) for its weekly Friday lunchtime meeting at 1pm.
