Our next visit was to the Rotary Club of Elgin, again a Club with many good friends from my time as Assistant Governor in that part of the District. The Club does so many different things that it would be difficult to know where to start. Events such as their Marafun and their startling success with the Fellowship Malt are part of the District legends. However, they have never been a Club to rest on their laurels and in recent years have raised large sums of money to bring fresh safe water and sanitation to Nepal. Having seen that county's problems at first hand, I know only too well, how vital these provisions are to the health of the country and the lovely Nepalese people. Like many of us, the Club is concerned at the inadequate provisions available to look after those injured while serving the country and they are strong supporters of the Help for Heroes campaign. This will figure as a part of this year's District Conference but will have a more immediate public expression through a concert to be given by the Royal Marines in Elgin on Saturday 5 September. If you have not yet signed up for this, don't miss the chance to do so. It will be a wonderful evening of music in a very worthy cause. This is only one of many new initiatives of President Graeme and his team.With 7 new members targeted for this Rotary year, is any one going to trump them?
