Message from our President
From the Desk of President Margaret
Diversity, equity and inclusion are high on the Rotary agenda. According to R. I. President Jennifer Jones, diversity, equity and inclusion is important not only to Rotary but also for our world.
This includes diversity of thought, diversity of age, diversity of culture, diversity of gender and diversity of vocation. Each of us should be mindful of what we say, think or do in the area of diversity and the impact that this will have on our club and the people and community we interact with.
Rotary is a non-political, non-religious, and an organisation that is enjoys membership in many countries in the world. This puts us in a unique position to participate in dialogue that respects each other’s views. How we communicate will reflect on Rotary and on our club and is an avenue for us to attract new and diverse membership while promoting the Rotary motto of Service Above Self. Let us all commit to playing our part in promoting diversity while attracting new members.
The Rotary Foundation and Rotary clubs around the world have hurried to provide funds, supplies, and services to Ukrainians displaced by the war.
The Rotary Foundation has raised more than $15 million in contributions that are already helping provide people in Ukraine with essential items such as water, food, shelter, medicine, and clothing. Donations made to the Disaster Response Fund after 30 April will be available to all communities around the world that need assistance recovering from disasters.
Today’s meeting was held in the kitchen and canteen at Marriott Support Services in Keys Road, Cheltenham and was a wonderful opportunity to re-engage with an organisation that had a very close and enduring connection with a former club member, Alan Marriott. Today was the first club meeting to herald in the new Rotary year and President Margaret’s first meeting as a returning president. Linda and Faye collaborated to provide a lovely continental breakfast of fresh fruit, croissants, toast and Danish pastries, washed down with orange juice, coffee and tea. Ian setup the Zoom meeting enabling non visiting club members to join in. Charles R joined the meeting via Zoom.
EVANSTON, Ill. (June 29, 2022) – Jennifer Jones, member of the Rotary Club of Windsor-Roseland, Ontario, Canada, will be the first woman to take office as Rotary International President in the service organization’s 117-year existence on 1 July 2022.
This week’s club meeting was the last for this current Rotary year, and marked Helen’s last meeting as club president with her year drawing to a close.
Incoming President Elect, Peter Nolan, was our chairperson today. Neville K performed the Invocation, and Larry Green conducted the loyal toast. Glenda and Charles R joined the meeting via Zoom.
After discovering new perspectives and being inspired by new ideas at the 2022 Rotary International Convention, attendees and virtual participants are looking ahead to next year's gathering in Melbourne, the sparkling second city of Australia.

Market report: Day started off very cold and fog drifted in and was quite thick - as local fogs go from around 7.00am. Had two or three casuals turn up without booking looking for vacant stalls. One had checked online and saw that there were vacancies but didn’t bother booking and then turned up demanding two stalls. Threats of going to another market fell on deaf ears. The sun finally came out at 11.50am.
