A message from joint Presidents Susanne Dowswell and Peter Wilkes
We are delighted to welcome you to our Clubs web site. We have the privilege of serving the Club for the year 2022-23. This is the second year running that we have a joint Presidency. We hope to follow the excellent example of last year’s Presidents who successfully brought us through the difficult time of Covid.
The Club was founded 87 years ago and has, during this time, been very involved in the local community as well as supporting charities and humanitarian projects both in this country and overseas. Last year the Club was involved in Young Enterprise, and this year we will organise the Bexley Young Musician competition with the other Bexley Rotary Clubs. Each year we also arrange a Community Day Lunch in the spring. We have helped with a number of charity collections such as the Poppy Day collection and organised the traditional annual visit of Father Christmas throughout the Sidcup area as part of our charity appeal at the festive season.
The members uphold the Rotary motto of “Service above Self” and assist whenever called upon with local charity and community events. Rotary is a Worldwide organisation and this year’s International President Jennifer Jones asked members to “imagine the possibilities in the change they can make to transform the World. Imagine when we get up each day knowing we can
make a difference.”
Four years ago, we launched a Satellite Club for those who support Rotary ideals but who, due to pressure of work or family commitments, are unable to become full Members of an existing Rotary Club. This is an exciting and successful venture and it might also interest you to become a full member or Friend of the Club.
Please take some time to look at the many items on this web site. You will find how we have tried to make a difference in the local community, nationally and internationally
