OBITUARIES: Rotarian Bill Forrest OBE      and     Rotarian Harry Livesey PHF

ENLARGING OUR MEMBERSHIP WITH A DIVERSE RANGE OF MEN AND WOMEN IS OUR CONSTANT AIM. WHY NOT CHECK OUT WHAT ROTARY INTERNATIONAL HAS TO OFFER YOU?  

 

A retired solicitor, DION WAINWRIGHT, (pictured right) became the latest member of the Rotary Club of Wakefield on the 20th October 2011. That brings to nine the number of new people to join the club and become members of the family of Rotary International in 2011. This must be a record and Membership chairman Peter Rhodes PHF and his team are rightly being applauded for their efforts. The others are Michael Wharton, Julie Wharton, Neale Clark, George Marsden, Les Wright. Norman Roberts, Ann Roberts and Sheila Wainwright. 

 

The club meets at 18:30 on Thursdays at New Brookhouse Club, 221 Barnsley Road, Wakefield WF1 5NU (about one mile south of the city centre on the A61). Tel: 01924 255385. We meet in the function room on the first floor. For variations please see the PROGRAMME page.

 

Rotarian visitors are always welcome but it would be helpful if they could advise us of their attendance by the Monday of the same week. Please send a note to bookameal@rotarywakefield.org.uk
