He added: “Rotary is one of the best things that has happened to me. It gives me the opportunity to help others in the community and increased my social life. Rotary has changed considerably over recent years; it is fun, friendly and gives people the opportunity to do things in the community. I’d welcome people to come and find out more about us.”
