AT the AGM, members received reports for the current year and elected those who would serve as officers for the forthcoming Rotary year, which starts on July 1. The international committee has been busy working on two major overseas projects. One is to provide fresh water to a fishing village in Nicaragua and a second to provide a stable home life for the orphans of HIV/Aids victims in Africa. These projects will be financed by money raised by the club locally and matched two, or possibly, three times over by money coming from the Rotary Foundation, which exists to help clubs and their projects all over the world.

Locally, the community service committee has worked hard to raise funds for several local needy projects, as well as providing a Christmas tea for the elderly and housebound, and will be taking the members of the Ross Stroke Club for a day out on the canal from Gloucester to Sharpness
