Whittlesey Rotary Club is celebrating its 70th anniversary and the current year is proving as busy as ever. Beer festivals, prom nights, summer fetes, human fruit machines, wild flowers and pupil innovation awards are all part of the club’s efforts to raise money for good causes.
“Service above self is the Rotary motto but members also have a lot of fun and enjoyment in the process of helping the community,” said a club spokesperson.
“The Whittlesey branch was founded 70 years ago in 1954, so this year has been a milestone.
“Over that time, and with local businesses support, the group has raised significant sums of money for countless worthy local projects and charities, as well as for international causes such as ‘Shelter Box’ and Sights Savers.”
Looking forward, the club is hoping for another big turnout at its popular Life Education Quiz and raffle (16th November at the indoor bowls club in Station Road).
You can follow the club’s Facebook page for more information on this and other events.
Life Education is a national charity and proceeds from the quiz night helps fund visits to local schools, teaching life skills and age-appropriate drug prevention advice with scientifically equipped mobile classrooms.
The club is always looking out for new members and corporate membership is also possible.
