At the President’s handover evening on 25th June at Faversham Golf Club, outgoing President Doug Rogers summed up his year, “We have achieved a great deal, raised funds and given donations at an exceptional level in 2023/24 and we still have the playground, the medical hub and the Taonga projects continuing into 2024/25.
“I’d like to say very well done to Club members and the residents of Faversham for their support of the club’s events in the past year.
“It is 28 years since I was last President. I have thoroughly enjoyed my year and feel privileged to have been the Club President for a second time.
“I hope that new President David will enjoy his second stint at the helm as much as I have.”
Incoming President David Kirsch-Mills said, “First of all, on behalf of the Club, I would like to thank Doug for his leadership and dedication to the Club over the last year as President. It has been a busy year.
“The year ahead is also looking busy with the Carol Tour and the Family Bike Ride in the calendar, along with other smaller events, and the Community Chest Fund is close to being launched.
“There are several ongoing local projects which will continue into the new Rotary year, together with the exciting Taonga project to provide new toilets for a school in a very deprived area of Zambia.
“And the social side of the Club will not be forgotten.”
David concluded, “I look forward to working with you all to make the coming year enjoyable and successful.”
