Proposed Projects for 2016/17
Ged Heatherington, President, The Rotary Club of Middleton said: “My key message is that I want every Middleton Club Rotarian and supporter to take an active part in some way in the projects the club have planned for the next 12 months.
“I am certain that by utilising people’s life, technical skills as well as their physical resource, this will maximise our Rotary efforts.
“To ensure club projects happen effectively, the club will be moving to having Project Leaders and a supporting team for each project undertaken.
“Our support to the Rotary global eradication of polio initiative, i.e. 'End Polio Now', will continue unabated.
“With this in mind we are moving to a projects based program this year with aim of helping and support the community where we can.”
