The evening took us just over the hill to visit the Rotary Club of Forfar, another Club with a great track record in recent times for bringing in new members. It was a great pleasure to be involved in the induction of another new Rotarian, Alan Cairns, the eighth such occasion already this year in the Clubs I have visited to date. It will be fantastic if this momentum can be maintained throughout the year by our Clubs. A strong supporter of Trust Banks and other overseas schemes, Forfar nevertheless have an extensive involvement with the local community. They are very keen to raise the public profile of Rotary, recognising the benefits this can bring in promoting their big fund raising events such as their very succesful Marafun, scheduled this coming year for 30 May. Their youth involvement is especially extensive, involving RYLA, Primary School Quiz, Dictionary for Life, Young Musician and Young Chef. They have a similar involvement with our older citizens. President David has even further ambitions for the Club and I wish him and his fellow Rotarians every success.
