President Jane Hopkins of the Rotary Club of Sawley recently visited the Rotary Club of Church Wilne to deliver a motivating and insightful talk. Her presentation centred on the core values of Rotary membership and explored practical strategies for expanding the club's influence and increasing its member base.
Fostering Engagement and Community Connections
This visit is a key component of a broader Rotary initiative designed to bolster clubs in their efforts to enhance public engagement and deepen community involvement. Over the next few weeks and months, Jane will collaborate closely with the Church Wilne club to elevate awareness of Rotary's mission. This will be achieved through a carefully planned series of public-facing events, which are detailed below. All events are open to everyone, offering a warm welcome to both existing supporters and newcomers alike.
Supporting Fundraising and Raising Awareness
