 On Monday 12 January, GSE Team Leader Stuart Leyland and team member, Sarah Hatfield visited the Rotary Club of Holderness to give a presentation on the GSE (Group Study Exchange) experience. After Stuart's introduction, Sarah began her presentation on her experiences in Colombia by reading what her grandmother had to say about Sarah's participation in the GSE programme.
"I have been asked to write a few words on my thoughts whilst my granddaughter Sarah as in Colombia. I don't feel that I shall be able to find the words that live up to such an experience of feeling myself alongside her from day 1! The feelings which I first had about the visit to Colombia, was one of horror and disbelief that they would be going into a country known to be troubled by terrorism, and it was some time before I was able to accept that she would actually go. What a joy it turned out to be, although perhaps those taking part would not agree with me, as there would be times when it was not much joy for them, after all they were not there for a holiday, and it must have had many worrying times. Not knowing much of the language wouldn't help! Having to meet people who were living in terrible circumstances must have been distressing. |

 The second of the two annual Lincolnshire Youth Concerts organised by The Rotary Club of Lincoln has raised more money for both Lincolnshire youth music and Rotary Charities.
The Autumn Gala Concert involved the Lincoln Youth Concert Band and the Lincoln Youth Orchestra and was held at the Priory City of Lincoln Academy. A full house was entertained to a rich variety of skilfully and enthusiastically music played by young people from schools all over Lincolnshire.
Earlier in the year The Summer Youth Concert, which is also sponsored by the Lincolnshire Cooperative Ltd, performed at Lincoln University. The total raised by both concerts was over £3,000.00. This total will be divided between the orchestras and Rotary charities. |

Epworth & IOA Coffee Morning |

Written by Carol Walsh

Wednesday, 19 November 2008 |
 The smell of cakes wafted invitingly from the door of the Imperial Hall in Epworth on the morning of Saturday 15 November 2008. Unfortunately, the shoppers of Epworth were not being tempted to follow their noses and partake of a warming cup of coffee and a slice of cake at a coffee morning held to raise funds for the Isle based Kidscap Club. The Rotary Club of Epworth and the Isle is never to be defeated however. Rotarian Carol Walsh visited all the shops in the town, Sue Lambert got out her address book & phone and Kidscap organiser, Phil Bradley, carried trays of cakes through the streets like a sweet-toothed pied piper bringing customers into the Hall. |
