Rotary Club of Forfar International Night


I had the great pleasure of attending the Rotary Club of Forfar on Wednesday evening. The club have recently moved from being a lunch meeting to an evening meeting. They are still flourishing and do not seem to have had any adverse reaction to their move. After a superb few months of mega fundraising including their amazing donation to the Ninewells Cancer Project recently, tonight saw the club present me with a cheque for £5000 which is going to their chosen International Project which is Opportunity International. Opportunity International UK is a member of the global Opportunity International Network a pioneer and global leader in providing micro finance and training to the working poor. They are the largest charity in the UK specialising in micro finance in the developing world.
