ROTARY CLUB OF CROWBOROUGH
President Frank Toher President elect Reg Gilbert Secretary John Burton International Contact Weesp - Holland		This site is intended to provide programme details and reminders for existing members and to provide information to anyone interested in the Rotary in general and the Rotary Club of Crowborough in particular. Rotary is all about FELLOWSHIP in SERVICE to one's community, the country and not least internationally. Rotary was founded nearly 100 years ago as an organisation of Professional & Business people intent on helping people less fortunate than they. The Rotary Club of Crowborough was chartered 56 years ago, after 50 years we received our certificate in acknowledgement of this achievement.			Rotary is a tremendously good way for successful people to put back into society what they have been fortunate enough to gain The members of Crowborough Rotary Club are very keen, that in order to keep up the impetus of the work we carry out, that we should recruit new and young blood into the club. Many people think of Rotary as a men’s club, as indeed it was. Things have now changed and Rotary is a dual gender organisation, some of the newer clubs that have been formed have a large proportion of lady members, several of whom have now risen through the ranks to become club presidents.	Our Christmas appeal, where we call on the successful businesses in our community to put a little back and so to help us in our work within the community. Last year our appeal raised in the order of £3590 and we must thank those businesses and individuals who contributed to our appeal. We would be pleased to hear from anyone who has an interest in our organisation, please contact us through one of the links in this site and we would be pleased to tell you more about Rotary and even better invite you along to one of our meetings to meet us and see more of what we do. Fellowship is our prime objective and it is through this fellowship that we achieve our aims within the community. CONTACT US
