We are now a third of the way through the Inner Wheel year and have held a very successful Rally & Church Service. On Wednesday 19th October I welcomed Association President Phyllis and we later enjoyed a super home cooked pre-rally supper prepared, cooked and served by the ladies of my own club, Watford North. Despite being small in number, they pooled their resources and worked tirelessly to produce a delicious supper that was attended by 24 people. The following morning, the sun shone as we headed to St Mary's Church in Hemel Hempstead for the Church Service officiated by the vicar, The Rev'd Jenny Hill. There were lots of positive comments about the content and execution of the service before we transferred to Boxmoor Lodge Hotel for a delicious lunch where we were superbly looked after by Mark and his team. I was delighted that I was able to welcome 125 members and friends and appreciate the support from the District. The lovely day ended by me seeing Phyllis off on her train back to Gloucestershire.
My attentions now move on to the District Meeting in November and the Charity Race Night in aid of Herts Air Ambulance. Interest in the Race Night is proving to be rather slow but I am optimistic that numbers and support will increase as we get nearer the day (26th) and that we will be able to raise a useful sum of money whilst having a fun evening.
I recently received a phone call from Rotarian Iola Samuels telling me about the wonderful work of one of our members, Vicki Jesson of the Inner Wheel Club of Stevenage. I am delighted that Vicki, with her Rotary husband David is a mentor to the first Interact Club in Rotary District 1260 and that Vicki is an important member of the Interact team in Stevenage and is so highly thought of by Rotary District. This could be the start of a closer working relationship with Rotary, so lets keep up the good work and let everyone know what we do.
I have visited 15 out of the 22 clubs in the District and have been made very welcome by all the members. I have enjoyed excellent friendship, fellowship and on the whole, excellent food! We have had lots of fun and laughter but have also discussed serious issues relating to the survival of Inner Wheel, membership and proposals for changes to the Constitution. I look forward to visiting the remaining clubs and although it is a little early, would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your families and friends a very Merry Christmas and Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year.
Yours in Inner Wheel friendship
