CHRISTMAS IN JULY AT THE ROTARY CLUB OF CANTERBURY
Christmas came early for the Rotary Club of Canterbury. On Monday night we celebrated with good company, good food and the achievements of Rotarians in our Rotary Club.
As mentioned about by Co-President Elizabeth, two Rotarians were acknowledged. Firstly, Michelle Critchley was inducted as a member of the Rotary Club of Canterbury. It feels as if she has been with us for a long time, and we were delighted that her time to be announced as a visitor is now over. Her contribution towards the raffle was a beautifully made shortbread house, which Doug Hawley took home. It looked absolutely delicious.
Cathie Macmillan was awarded a two sapphire Paul Harris Fellow for her outstanding and regular contributions to the Rotary Foundation. This is her third PHF. When you are present in this environment, you get to see the very best of Rotary. We all saw the entry of one member and the continued valued contribution of another.
We began the night with a word search supplied by Steve Clarke. The remaining letters not selected became the current theme of the Rotary Year 2025-2026 - UNITE FOR GOOD. Then, we had our Christmas meal and played parlour games. The evening was action-packed and lots of fun.
