PERSHORE Rotary Club President Alan Fulton ended his year in style at Dumbleton Hall with a rocking send off from FOG - Four Old Geezers, three of whom are in Rotary including new President Malcolm Haden.
Alan said that his year had been fantastic, thanks to the support of the Club and the generosity of the People of Pershore at events such as the Tree of Lights at Christmas and a very exciting Ferret Racing Evening, making it possible to donate over £17,400 to various charities.
The Club has supported Pershore Riverside Youth Centre and the Acorns Children’s Hospice but a particular highlight of the year was setting up three eye camps in Sri Lanka, overseen by President Elect John Angood, visiting his old Club at Kandy.
Malcolm promised to continue the Club’s good work of raising funds for local and international causes while having fun at the same time.
He said ‘We always welcome like-minded new members, but this year we also aim to reach out to Pershore people who share the Rotary ethos, but do not have the time to join us at our weekly meetings.’
