Rotary Club of Perth St Johns
Rotary Youth Leadership Award
President Pam Dickson and Vice-President Robert Macduff-Duncan were delighted to present a certificate to Harry Elder, who recently completed the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) 2018. Harry presented to our Rotary Club on his leadership adventures and personal development, following a week's leadership programme with the Abernethy Trust in July.
RYLA is a regular part of our work at Rotary. Each year we sponsor a young person to take part. Often it's a life-changing opportunity for the individual, bringing new friendships, new skills and confidence that take them forward in life.
Donations to Four Local Organisations
We enjoyed the company at lunch of representatives from four local charities and community groups. They received donations totalling £800 from our Club this summer. PKAVS Shopmobility, Perth & Kinross ADHD Support, Independent Advocacy Perth & Kinross and Perth Starter Pack.
The donations followed our Club's fundraising efforts during 2017/18. Thank you to all who helped us raise funds and support these important local organisations.
