At our Festive Luncheon Meeting in December, it was fantastic to congratulate Cynthia Edgell for her well-deserved naming as a Paul Harris Fellow. Cynthia's support and energy in so many areas of Rotary and our Club has been sensational.
Ruth Carlos Martinez has also provided us with her latest report for Tabuk Water Sanitation (TWS) - Global Grant 1751527. Thank you Ruth for such outstanding success again. Fascinating report! Ruth_Carlos_Martinez_reports_on_the_Tabuk_Water_Sanitation_Global_Grant.pdf
