Doris and Ken in England
Posted by PDG Doris Obremski
Hi! I am forwarding this link to photos from the British district Conference to our members who have been involved with the Friendship Exchange with the Carlton club over these many years because they can get glimpses of their friends if they zip through the string of photos.
For our Board members, I know you are not personally familiar with these folks, so just delete if you are not interested in getting a glimpse of what they do "across" the pond". Their current Governor, Colin Gell, is in the Carlton club and the folks you see with the "Stewards" banners on them are all from Carlton - they are our equivalent of Sergeants at Arms.
If you do look through these, you'll see quite a few of an acrobatic team of boys who were phenomenal - they performed Sat. afternoon - are a club begun by a man who wanted to help young boys find some direction in their lives - you can see these kids have learned confidence among other things. None of them had acrobatic experience before joining the group as far as I know. The Carlton club members are major sponsors of this group and you'll note the Rotary wheel with their name in several photos.
It was my experience that the projects showcased at the conference are really big and have major impacts on the lives of others.
I've already sent to Pat Gilchrist, Pat Foley and Ron.
