Grand effort by Rotarians

Rotarians in Auchterarder and District have been hard at work distributing the proceeds of their charity fundraising.

Over 2015/2016 the club donated an impressive £28,000 to various local charities, schools and local organisations, funded by events such as a black-tie charity dinner held at Gleneagles Hotel in aid of CHAS, which raised an impressive £13,000 in 2016 and £6,000 in 2015, bringing a grand total of £19,000 over the past two years. And to recognise and thank supporters from businesses and the community the club organised a social evening last month where guests enjoyed supper at Auchterarder Golf Club and were given the chance to see a little of what Rotary becomes involved in throughout the year.

A spokesperson said:“It was a great evening and we can hopefully continue to build relationships within the local community. It was also acknowledged that many other individuals and businesses that support our events could not all be in attendance.”
