We also had a visit from Dick White the HOC Home hosting organiser, to thank the Club members and it's Hosting organiser John Cameron, for the outstanding event success--58 visitors were hosted by club members.
The CEO of the Hamlin Fistula Ethiopia organisation also attended to thank the Club ( Ken Broadhead) for the encouragement given to have a stand in the House of Fellowship at the RI Convention--it was a great success resulting many new contacts and relationships and donations.
Peter Smith spoke of the Novus Foundation Dinner success and thanked many volunteer members and confirmed the financial outcome-- raising $175,000.--a total of $1.1million over the 8 years the event has been held. That success along with other club fundraising for the Rotary year 2013/2014--now topped $299,000--a wonderful Club performance.
