On Tuesday June 23, London Lambeth Rotarians and their guests celebrated two years of service under the leadership of outgoing President, John Robinson. Member Rotarians and their guests enjoyed the beautiful grounds and hospitality of Arrowwood Farm and Events near Melbourne. We socialized and honoured a number of people for their contributions to the club and the world.
The guest speaker at our May 12 meeting was Larry Marrow from 519 Pursuit, a London based organization working with the homeless and people living on the street.
Larry shared how funding in London from all levels of government is extremely precarious at present and is always very uncertain, impacting staff (1 FT, 3 PT) and volunteers. Rotary helps those in need - locally, regionally and around the world.
For many of our Gala events, in addition to our live and silent Auctions, we hold a fundraising event for a specific local charity. At this year's Christmas Gala the chosen charity was SALTHAVEN WILDLIFE REHABILITATION AND EDUCATION CENTRE.
Heather Thompson of St. Thomas is the winner of the $2,000 prize. The winning ticket was drawn by Joanne Shields at the Village Pantry Restaurant.
Attendees at the event were from the Lambeth Legion, Lambeth Lions, Lambeth Rotary and restauranteur Rob Annable. Thanks to everyone who bought tickets.
Incidentally, come see the Lights - they're Up on Main Street!
Our Club was very pleased to have Rahmatullah Khayal (RK) and Ann Nicol inducted as new members by District Governor, Jeffrey S. Ferweda in November 2025.
