Wednesday lunchtime saw us visiting the Rotary Club of Perth St. Johns, still dogged by the appalling wet weather which has afflicted Scotland in recent weeks. It must all be very depressing for our farmers seeking to ensure a timely harvest. Vice President Paul soon dispersed any such thoughts by giving me a full brief on the Club's intended activities for the year. These involving young people are very important, including the often forgotten youngsters of Chernobyl and those who perform a vital but often unsung role as young carers. Also high on their list of priorities are increasing public awareness of Rotary, and raising funds for Shelterboxes which are so vital in the times of major disasters. The Club also does a great deal for our older citizens, while seeking to find the time and funds to support Rotary's Foundation charity. Clearly, they have a busy year ahead which will be heightened by their participation, with the other Perth Rotary Clubs, in the celebration of the city's 800th anniversary.
