Today, as we commemorate Victory over Japan Day (VJ Day), we remember and honour the immense sacrifices made by all those who served in the Second World War. This day marks the end of a global conflict and a moment to reflect on the courage, resilience, and dedication of individuals who fought for peace and freedom.

We extend our deepest gratitude to the veterans, their families, and all who contributed to the Allied victory. Their bravery continues to inspire us.

Lets take a moment to remember the past, celebrate the hard won victory, and work towards a future of peace and understanding.

Last weekend, Wolverhampton witnessed a championship performance from Club member Rolo, the incredible hearing dog, as he took on the Cancer Research UK Race for Life alongside the members of the Inner Wheel Club of Tettenhall

With boundless energy and determination, Rolo trotted his way around the course, proving that heroes come in all shapes, sizes, and breeds. And at the finish line? A well-earned finisher’s medal, shining as brightly as his spirit!

A huge congratulations to Rolo and to everyone who participated. Over 10 million people (and dogs) have taken part in Race for Life events since 1994, raising over £970 million for life-changing cancer research.

Your efforts make a real difference, and we couldn’t be prouder! 💖🐶

We’re thrilled to welcome Rolo, the incredible hearing dog, as the first-ever canine member of Tettenhall Rotary Club! 🏅🐾

Rolo is more than just a furry friend—he plays a vital role in supporting his owner, Phil Griffin, who is profoundly deaf. Together, they attend Rotary meetings, engage in community service, and embody the true spirit of Service Above Self.

At a special ceremony, Rolo was presented with his very own Companion of Honour pendant, marking his official membership in our club. His dedication to helping Phil and his warm presence at our gatherings make him a perfect addition to our Rotary family.
