Chris Spicer & Kate Robertson from Eastwood High School updated the club on
her experiences at RYLA Camp (see picture in gallery).
George Burt was presented with Honorary membership as he
retired from the club (see picture in the gallery).
A great turnout by the club to raise awareness of Rotary in
Mearns Week (see picture in gallery).
The visit by the Rotary Club de Saint-Quentin Pastels was a
great success and confirmed the twinning arrangement between our two Clubs.
Thursday night's club visit was followed by a tour to Troon Marina, Alloway and
Culzean Castle on Friday. An informal social gathering on Friday evening didn't
go on too late to allow our visitors some Saturday morning time for a Glasgow
city centre visit.
Congratulations to Our Lady of the Mission, winners of our
2009 Primary Schools Quiz (see gallery picture).
Our Rotary East Renfrewshire Schools Boys Golf Event
on Tuesday 24th March was won by Belmont House with St Ninians second and St
Lukes third.
The 2009 AM AM at Whitecraigs Golf Club raised
nearly £4,000 with Maggie's Cancer Centres and a range of local charities the major recipients.
Around 75 people attended the club's 2008 Burns Supper.
Organised by Club President, David Stafford, a talented array of speakers,
singers and musicians entertained the club in fine style (see picture gallery).
