The
Club |
Edenbridge Rotary Club was founded in 1969 by local businessmen.
We are a lively, friendly group that meet weekly for dinner, during
which the main business of the Club is conducted.
Projects are
discussed where we feel our combined energies will help bring
about change for the better. These can often be straightforward
fundraising affairs to help local community projects and those
less fortunate. However, in lots of cases, the Club has got involved
"hands-on", such as with a mentoring scheme for local
youngsters considering their careers, or in providing an annual
get together and entertainment for senior citizens in the town.
Our meetings
are also a platform for many interesting and diverse speakers,
all of whom are invited to come along to join us for a meal, after
which they have the opportunity both to inform and entertain.
Partners are
welcomed at many of these meetings and usually participate in
the Club's social and fundraising activities. These are always
enjoyable and have, over the years, sustained a really healthy
team spirit within our Club, of which we are justifiably proud.

of the Club and to consider reports from the three sub-committees
on matters falling within their respective areas of interest:
COMMUNITY
SERVICE

the Club may

alleviate ill health, malnutrition and deprivation around the
world. The Committee also spearheads communication with other
overseas clubs.
