Rotary Club of Westminster East

Lion

Westminster lies on the north bank of the River Thames and is famous for its historic and prestigious landmarks and visitor attractions, including Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament.

The Rotary Club of Westminster East provides an opportunity to be involved in this vibrant borough, support the local community and network with a wide range of business professionals.

The Club has its foundation on a weekly meeting which includes a two-course dinner and a guest speaker. Additionally, there are other event-based meetings and activities which enable members to learn more about Westminster, its history and community.

OUR AIM:

build friendships among business and professional persons who share an interest in Westminster and who have a global outlook
enrich and educate members through a stimulating speakers programme which incorporates topics of local, national and international interest
support local community groups and voluntary organisations through direct giving and philanthropic action
widen the understanding of Rotary and its worldwide programme of opportunities
foster and facilitate friendships between Rotary clubs in London, the UK and throughout the world.

GET INVOLVED:

You do not need to be a member of the Club to get involved. We are constantly looking at the ways to make it easier for people to engage with the Club and Rotary. Non-members are welcome to all of our meetings, but we recommend that first-time visitors do not attend Business Meetings. Most people’s first contact with a Rotary Club is as the guest of a member, but this is not the only option. There are other ways to connect with us.

We need volunteer collectors for our Charing Cross/London Bridge Station Collection on 3 December. The collections are great way to meet members of the club. We only ask that you commit to a minimum of one hour. This year we are collecting for the Passage Homeless Charity.

As speakers are such a prominent part of Rotary meetings, we are continually looking to add to our speaker bank. Past speakers have included charitable organisations, professionals speaking about their work, people talking about their hobbies and travels, those who have had life changing experiences and those who are promoting an event. If you feel that you would like to speak at the Club, we would like to hear from you.

To achieve our charitable aims we continually review our income generation strategies and are always looking for partners who share our values and who wish to be associated with Rotary. Sponsorship is a great way to support and get involved with the Club. Contact us to discuss the short and long-term opportunities.

Our next meeting is 08 September. This is a Council Meeting and not recommended for non Rotarians. Our next Speaker Meetings is 15 September, when our speaker will be Sheila Steer. She will be talking about 'The world of Saga Holidays'.

Below are some highlights of our current programme:

29 September: President’s Selection Meeting

30 September: Trinity Charity Concert

08 October: Pat Buckley Challenge Cup Competition 2010
