The 1st July is when all Rotary Clubs across the world change their leadership teams and start their new Rotary Year. In the case of Minehead Rotary Club we welcome in our new President, John Baker MPHF John has been a Rotarian since 2001 and came to Minehead Rotary Club from the Sussex Vale Rotary Club so he has a wealth of experience in helping communities, both locally and internationally. This years rotary theme is "Create Hope in the World" and the club aims to use this theme to help our communities in and around Minehead. Food and energy poverty are high priorities for the club as are homelessness and mental health. On the international scene putting an end to Polio and providing clean drinking water to those communities that suffer from not having access to clean drinking water are our priorities. Rotary is always in need of more members to help us provide and support the many projects we run. Our club is open to all and we have an active social side and will welcome any new individuals that come along to our fortnightly meetings on a Monday evening at the Northfield Hotel, Minehead. By joining the 1.4 million Rotarians around the world you really can make a difference to so many lives.
