SPEAKING OUT FOR YOUTH AT ROTARY

Youth Speaks is a competition for young people between the ages of 11 and 18 organised by Rotary in Great Britain and Ireland. It is designed to help young people develop confidence in their own ability to stand up and speak in front of an audience.
Participants took part in the Senior Competition from Highclare School and Sutton Coldfield Grammar School for Girls.

Social activities
Whilst many people associate Rotary with fund raising, there is the very important aspect of fellowship with other members and their partners.
Activities have included: President's river cruise for Rotarians and their partners; French themed evening; 'The Alternative Conference'; Barn dance; Theatre outings; Irish Night; 'Tribute' nights (eg Rod Stewart); Club Quiz Night
Community, Vocational and Youth activities
Community and Vocational Service have been described as the 'shop window' of Rotary, concerned with the work done by Rotarians in the local area. It presents an opportunity for the Club to examine and respond to the needs of the less fortunate or to a worthy project in the area.
Fund raising activities include: - Easter and Christmas collections - Golf Day
International Service
The Club carries out a variety of international service projects that address critical issues including poverty, hunger, illiteracy, diseases, pollution and underdevelopment. Because in many countries people die of starvation or disease that could be prevented by drugs or education, wherever possible, help is directed through a local Rotary Club to ensure that the aid goes exactly where it is intended and with minimal overheads. Activities include: - Emergency aid overseas, by way of Aquaboxes and Shelter Boxes.
