Handing over the reins

Jul 15 2009 by George Topp, Wishaw Press

THE very popular outgoing president of Carluke Rotary, Jim Speirs, has handed over his chain of office to the incoming Club President for 2009/10, John Gennard.

This follows a very successful year, during which the Rotary Club of Carluke enjoyed a lot of fun and fellowship, and raised and disbursed many thousands of pounds to local, national and international, charities and organisations,

Praising and congratulating Jim, John indicated his intention, assisted by his management team and fellow rotarians, to carry on the sterling work of the club.

John, emeritus Professor in Human Resource Management at Strathclyde University, has been a member of the club for over 20 years, having originally been introduced by the founding President Dr Eric Paterson.

The Rotary Club of Carluke meets regularly 6 for 6.30pm on Mondays in the Cartland Bridge Hotel, Lanark. For further information please contact any member or visit the club website.
