DG's Week 23

Today saw Daphne and I taking the long overdue opportunity to meet up with my brother and his wife and one of their friends. As all of us have some sort of Rotary involvement, I almost considered designating the meeting as worthy of an 'official' attendance! The day did turn very rapidly into a Rotary occasion, as the same venue had been chosen by the Rotary Club of Dundee to hold a party for their Rotary members with over 40 years of service, and their partners. Hosted by President Graham and his wife Joan, and aided by several other members of the Club who were providing chaffeur services, I thought that this was a really nice occasion. It acknowledged the role of a Past District Governor, Past Presidents and other Rotarians who have all contributed enormously to Rotary over the years. It is all too easy to push our elders into the background and I was delighted to see their contribution recognised in this way. The day was dry but cold, the venue was wonderful with great views, it was warm, and the food and company were both excellent. What better way is there to pass an afternoon. My thanks go to the Dundee Rotarians for this really nice gesture.
