“Although we have not been able to meet as a club during lockdown, we have not stopped helping the community. Thanks to an amazing young boy and his dog in Canada we have been able to feed a good number of families who are really struggling to put food on the table.”
The club achieved a Platinum Presidential Citation from Rotary International for 2019/2020 for meeting and exceeding all their goals.
