DG's Visits Week 9


Tuesday evening saw us heading into the heart of Macgregor country and a visit to the Rotarians of Callander and West Perthshire. As the Macfarlanes of the past were every bit as lawless as the Macgregors, this was perhaps a meeting of like minds. The Rotarians of Callander gave Daphne and I a warm welcome and were eager to tell us of their many activities, including their walk up Ben Ledi which involves many of the local community and raises significant funds. President Peter has ambitious plans to expand the Club and to raise public awareness of Rotary. I am sure that their local activities, including their commitment to raise $1000 for PolioPlus this year through packing bags in a local supermarket, already tell the local community much of what Rotary seeks to achieve in the world.
