A day in the life of a Rotarian

East Kilbride Rotary Club

East Kilbride Rotary Club participated in the world wide "A Day in the Life of a Rotarian".

Now what did we get involved with on the 10th of October 2009!

Hopefully the little picture show will paint a picture for you. Quickly summed up we participated in an enviromental cleanup in Calderglen park planted a tree in an area of ground in the park with a commemorative plaque and in addition we had another group of Rotarians who were collecting for cancer research where we collected over £1800.00 in other words a time well spent in the community. Pictures were provided by Rotarians George McGraw & Edwin Robertson.

Picture 1 shows our team leader Roddy Shanks (THE MAN WITH THR GREEN FINGERS) preparing the site for the planting of our first tree, whilst the rest of the Rotarians look on. Picture 2 sees Club Secretary George Mcgraw who has downed pen & pencil to transport our tree to the planting area with Rotarian Ben Miloudi. Picture 3 Here we must ask how many men does it take to dig a hole as immediate Past President Frank Mcluskey issues instructions on how it should be done!!
