ROTARY CLUB OF ABERDEEN DEESIDE

THE ROTARY Club of Aberdeen Deeside, with the help of North East artist Alison Ewan, raised £2,200 in aid of the Cardiac Unit at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary and some other local charities. Alison shared some “tricks of her trade” with an audience of more than 200 as she painted a local scene.

Her water-colour painting was auctioned for £400 at the end of the evening.

The Rotary Club’s next fund- raising event will be the “Deeside WALKorRUN” to be held on Saturday 25th August during MBC Festival week. This will be a fun event for people of all ages and abilities who want to walk or run 2km (1.25 miles) or 10km (6.25 miles) for charity on the old railway track from Cults. There will be a group start for 10km competitive runners at 09.30. Proceeds will be donated by Rotary to Childline Scotland , Polio Plus (to eradicate polio world-wide), and other charities. To obtain an entry form and sponsorship sheet, please e-mail walkorrun@btopenworld.com.

It currently has 32 male and female members with a wide age range from the local business and professional community. It has embarked on a range of projects in the community.
