PoppyScotland Award for Mac & Marion

Thanks for Life
“Rotary has been involved in this fight for 25 years and the world is so close to being free from polio for good thanks to the joint hard work of organisations and governments. How fantastic for a town, individual, business or organisation to join the fight and be able to say, ‘I helped to wipe out a disease for only the second time in history, after smallpox. I stopped children from dying - I help change the world’.”

October 2011

At Perth Racecourse on Saturday 17 September 2011, Manuel (Mac) DeSouza was presented with a Presidents Award by Poppies Scotland. The citation read that Mac, assisted by the members of the Rotary Club of Renfrew, had tirelessly led fund-raising in the Renfrew area over many years, consistently increasing the sums raised, the number of volunteer collectors, the number of Rotary Clubs involved and the profile of Poppies Scotland. A very proud Mac, (and Marion), said afterwards, that he was delighted to have received the award, (a framed certificate and gold poppy pin badge), and paid tribute to the time and effort given by everyone at Renfrew Rotary, who he believed deserved to share the award and recognition with him. Ian McGregor, Chief Executive of PoppyScotland has been invited to address the Club in Feb 2012.

Matt McGinn Evening
We held a Matt McGinn tribute night at the start of October, very reasonably priced I think, for two and a half hours of song and banter and we managed to raise £336 towards our Euroscola and donate a further £100 to the bands own charity.
