A new, and “less formal” style of Rotary club is being launched next week, covering the town and village communities within the Vale of Llangollen.
The
previous Llangollen club closed its doors last June after 61 years of service.
The new club will be known as The Rotary Club of The Vale of Llangollen, and its
organisers say that, like the previous club, it will continue to work to serve
Llangollen and the wider community.
The club has been set up fully acknowledging the need for change, according to a spokesperson who said: “There is an understanding that in the 21st century, the desire to help and support others is just as great as it always has been, but there is so much more competing for our time.
“The club has therefore been set up to be me more informal, and for members to ‘dip in and out of’ as and when your time allows.
“There is no stipulation that you need to live within the area to become a member and we expect to attract people from all backgrounds, professions and ages.
“Members will use their skills, experience, contacts and expertise to develop projects to improve the lives or environment of the local community or further afield.
“You will need to be over the age of 18, and as a founder member you will have the opportunity to help to shape the club, building a team of like-minded people to work together to help and support the community.
“It’s an ideal opportunity for business owners too. An opportunity to network, and to grow within the community.
“Rotary is simply the umbrella under which we all gather. The club once formed belongs to the members, and to the local community.”
The
club’s inaugural meeting is next Monday, September 12, 7.15 for 7.30pm – 9pm at
the Liberty Traven and Wine Bar, 20 Market Street, Llangollen LL20 8PS.
People attending will be told a little bit about Rotary, with their ideas on how we can work together to improve the community being welcomed.
