Foundation Link Evening 2013

Foundation Link Evening – Wednesday 13 March 2013

Change of date and venue

The date and venue of this very popular annual event has been changed from the one previously circulated to Wednesday 13 March 2013 at Mansfield Civic Centre to accommodate the expected numbers.

It promises to be a memorable evening being the very last of its type due to the forthcoming changes in Foundation programmes. After an excellent meal Colin Slater from the BBC will be interviewing our last four Ambassadorial Scholars from Japan, Switzerland and the USA and a Peace Scholar from Fiji plus other alumni.

I have negotiated a good deal with the main course of roast lamb rump alone usually being £17.50 but our all inclusive cost is just £20 per head!

On this evening we are celebrating our very active involvement with the Rotary Foundations Ambassadorial Scholarship and Group Study Exchange programme over many years and ask clubs to consider making it their club meeting for the week and bring partners to the celebration. All District 1220 Foundation Alumni will receive an invitation too.

Full details will be circulated early in 2013.

Foundation Alumni on Facebook

A Facebook Community Group has been created at https://www.facebook.com/Rotary1220FoundationAlumni 

Rotary District 1220 Foundation Alumni Facebook Group is open to all Rotarians and others who have participated in the District’s Group Study Exchanges, or have been outgoing Ambassadorial Scholars or Peace Scholars.

It’s intended to help us keep in touch with our alumni – past GSE teams (including team leaders) and Ambassadorial scholars and if to help keep them up to date with current news which may be of interest such as posts from RI, RIBI,RI Foundation Alumni and the End Polio Now campaign.
