HOW ROTARY NEWTON ABBOT OPERATES
CLUB COUNCIL - meet each month to agree on the aims and objectives of the club. Meetings are chaired by the President who is elected by the membership and changes every Rotary year (July – June).
The Chair of each Group sits on the Club Council together with the Club Secretary, Treasurer, Past President, and President-Elect & Nominee. Club Council meets on the first Monday of the month to report on their work. Any member of the club may attend these meetings should they wish.
COMMUNITY GROUP - is central to the aims of Rotary and processes the requests we receive from those in need within our community. This may involve providing financial or physical help to other agencies involved in caring for the elderly, the disabled, those in poverty, or in need. As a club, we have distributed over £25,000 per year to various charities, social organisations, and individuals.
