2009/10 Club President Gaby (right) receiving the chains of office

A big hello from Club President Gaby, Vice-President Anna and Treasurer Jon!

 

 

 

We're a friendly, diverse, and approachable bunch of young men and women from Burnham and the surrounding area who get together on a regular basis to raise money for charity and support the local community, as well as having a bit of fun into the bargain!  Some of us grew up in the area while others discovered Rotaract when moving to the South-East with work, (Slough Trading Estate is on our doorstep).  Our club celebrated its 30th birthday in 2008, and continues to offer the same opportunities for friendship, social networking, community service and professional development as it did way back in 1978.  Whatever did people do to make friends before the internet?!
