Supporting Local, National and World-Wide Charities |
|
At his recent installation as President, Barry Williams stated that,
in current circumstances, his and the Club's focus must initially be on
our local community during his year of office. |
|
He has not, therefore, selected two personal charities for the year (the usual Club custom),
but will focus on the Club's Local COVID-19 appeal and other fund-raising efforts, in order to be able to respond to local needs
through financial and (if possible) other means. |
