The Rotary International Britain and Ireland President John Minhinick was the special guest at an event organised by Grantham’s two Rotary clubs - the Rotary Club of Grantham and the Rotary Club of Grantham Kesteven.
Mr Minhinick spoke to Grantham Rotarians at the Ramada Hotel in Grantham and was informed of some of the excellent charitable work undertaken by both clubs including the Swimarathon - which begins on Friday - and has raised more than half a million pounds for local good causes over the past 24 years.
Mr Minhinick was also impressed by the excellent work of the charity Trade Aid, founded by John Asher of Fulbeck with the aim of helping communities get back on their feet, often in the aftermath of disaster.
