The Letterkenny Rotary Club was delighted to welcome District Governor, Seamus Parle and his wife Carmel to their weekly lunch in the Station House Hotel, last week.
The Island of Ireland is a single District in Rotary International, and Letterkenny is one its 67 clubs. Therefore it was an important day for the club to have the District Governor attend their meeting. Club President, Cynthia Fuery presented him with the club pennant (below).

Rotary International is active in encouraging women participation in the organisation. At present, 30% (10) of The Letterkenny Club’s membership are women. The club recently marked International Women’s Day with a lunch and guest speaker Canon Judi McGaffin.
Each year the Club encourages local schools to plant purple crocus corms to celebrate World Polio Day in specially prepared gardens. Purple is symbolic of the dye colour used to signify that a child has received the Polio vaccine, thereby increasing awareness of Rotary’s success in the eradication of the disease.
