THE ROTARY CLUB OF FAVERSHAM
We want to help you. The Rotary Club of Faversham Trust Fund is looking to assist local not-for-profit organisations who have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Rotary Club of Faversham is one of 34,000 clubs worldwide in more than 200 countries and geographical regions. Rotary’s 1.25 million members share the common objectives of fostering high moral standards in business and the professions whilst, at the same time, initiating and supporting community service projects locally, nationally and internationally.
Rotary is also about fellowship. The regular weekly meetings held by the Rotary Club of Faversham provide an opportunity for members to enjoy each other’s company and to develop social relationships. Speakers are regularly invited to introduce a topic of interest for the members and provide the opportunity for lively discussions. We also have a vibrant programme of social and service projects, events and activities, such as...

ZOOM QUIZ NIGHT RAISES £684 FOR THE COVID 19 RELIEF FUND
We held a really enjoyable Zoom Quiz Night last night hosted by Duncan and Rachel with the aim of raising at least £500 for our Covid 19 Relief Fund. Despite some rather sticky questions over 6 cerebrally challenging rounds (particulalry the one on sport) we all did rather well. The main goal of the evening was more than achieved with a magnificent £684 raised through Just Giving. Many thanks to everyone for their contributions.
SUPPORT FOR THE COMMUNITY - SUPPORTING THE PHYSIC GARDEN AND SCOUTS
The Club met on Monday at is regular time - but virtuallly on Zoom - for its AGM and to discuss support for several projects within Faversham. Picutred right is the Club voting to buy a Zoom licence for the Physic Garden in order that they can stay in contact with their vulnerable supporters; we additionally voted match funding up to £300 to the Faversham Scouts fundraising appeal.
EASTER SUPPORT TO THE LOCAL COMMUNITY
Whilst we may have had to suspend our normal meetings, it has not stopped us supporting our community. Today we funded and delivered small Easter presents of Easter Eggs, flowers, chocolates and biscuits to those resident in the Cottage Hospital, the Alms Houses and some of the local care homes in order to bring a little cheer at this difficult time.
CLUB ACTIVITIES SUSPENDED
In line with Government advice, we have reluctantly suspended our Club activities for the foreseeable future. However, that does not mean that we are not around: we are still supporting our local community and welcome any approaches or ideas for suppport for those affected by the fallout from Covid 19 in the Faversham area.

EVOLVE F1 WORLD CHAMPIONS
Following the previoius post in January, the Queen Elizabeth School Evolve F1Team came to speak to the Club last night about the World Championship competion which they won last November. It was very clear that they all have put an enormous effort into the design and engineering of the car, the very professional portfolios on the whole project, their Pit Stand, and of course the racing of the car itself. Very well done to Freddie and Lewis (both pictured) and George.
