Whittlesey Rotary Club is celebrating its 70th anniversary and the current year is proving as busy as ever. Beer festivals, prom nights, summer fetes, human fruit machines, wild flowers and pupil innovation awards are all part of the club’s efforts to raise money for good causes.
“Service above self is the Rotary motto but members also have a lot of fun and enjoyment in the process of helping the community,” said a club spokesperson.
From the Whittlesey Rotary Club a selection of events they have taken part in over the years“The Whittlesey branch was founded 70 years ago in 1954, so this year has been a milestone.
“Over that time, and with local businesses support, the group has raised significant sums of money for countless worthy local projects and charities, as well as for international causes such as ‘Shelter Box’ and Sights Savers.”
