East Kilbride Rotary Club
We were entertained by one of our own long standing members on the 12th of August 2011 namely Rotarian George Gunn. George had been democratically chosen the previous week to be our waffler today, when he got to his feet to deliver his waffle, his first words were that his least favourite thing to do was speak in public but as he was amongst friends he would have a go.
One of the stories that George told was when a friend had invited a large number of friends over to Majorca for a celebratory weekend, well our waffler couldn't hold back his laughter as he told his tale and his fellow Rotarians were in same state. There is no way I could put to print the content of his waffle that would describe the success of his short talk suffice to say "Well Done George".

This MS Charity was the favoured charity of President Roddy Shanks and club members and friends showed their support in the amount that was gathered over his Rotary year.
Darren spoke to the club highlighting the developments and research that is currently going on with regards to MS and that the outlook was more than positive. He touched on the possible development utilizing stem cells in the treatment of Multiple Scleroses although he did not develop this content of his little talk further as at this point in time.
