It’s been a an interesting week, returning to work, routine and Rotary. I’m happy to say we have recovered from the bike riding and cold snap, which a lot of us got to experience In one way or another. So it was lovely to come back and hear from new member Sharon Ronson about her life up until joining Rotary.
As I find my feet again, I look forward to the upcoming evenings with longer days as summer takes hold!
Looking forward to seeing you all on Thursday.
