Congratulations to Rotarian Maura Williams-stock on receiving the Rotary Paul Harris Fellowship award from President Paul Cunninham. Named after the founder of Rotary Paul Harris in 1905, this is one of Rotary's top awards for dedication to service making a significant positive impact on communities. Well-deserved recognition! #Rotary #ServiceAboveSelf #CommunityLeadership

Once a month we go on an organised walk and end up at a local pub for lunch. Rotarians enjoy keeping fit and enjpying company as well as supporting communities.

On 25^th March a team of Rotarians and friends planted approximately 400 tree saplings at JAC (Just Around the Corner).

The Greenways RotaKids Club at Winnersh Primary organised an Easter-themed cake bake competition and sale. Over 400 children came to buy a cake for 50p each with money going to the RotaKids chosen charity.

On 1^st February a working party of club members carried out garden maintenance at Camp Mohawk near Wargrave, a multi-functional day centre for children with special needs.  Everyone enjoyed the companionship and working in the fresh air. If you are interested in helping the community with projects like this, please get in touch via the Contact Us tab above.

We held a Charity Bridge Drive in the Charvil Village Hall on 27^th January and raised over £1000.  The players were treated to a splendid afternoon tea of sandwiches, cakes, tea and coffee all served by Rotarian and Inner Wheel volunteers. Everyone, bridge players and catering team, had a very enjoyable afternoon.

Funds raised from our recent Art and Craft Fair are paying for 2500 frozen meals prepared by the chefs at Leighton Park School in Reading who are supporting a project called Feeding Communities run by the Thomas Franks Foundation catering company. We are currently delivering the packaged meals to many food share charities in the local area (see all the gallery photos by clicking on the photo above).

On 24^th January we organised a gathering of 16 of the many charities that the club has worked with in the past and some which it is currently supporting. It was a really vibrant evening with enthusiastic presentations from the representatives of the charities and an excellent opportunity to hear about the amazing support they provide for many people in the local community.
